Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

It’s that inconsistent standard of C&P.

Where sometimes they lean into it heavily despite that nation only having like 15 of said vehicles, yet despite using hundreds of a different one(or it having a big role historically) they don’t get it.

Great, ignore all the other lend lease stuff Britain has and focus on one thing it doesn’t very victim complex of you

I’m not victim complexing here, as I said the P-40 was the most important to us more than the other baring the Mustang and Sherman

by that logic we should have everything with an L7 105mm gun and all the AV8s. technically the mustang too seeing as they are either fully British in design/contract for its very existence or centered around a British part

that is not what i am talking about, deathmisser is complaining “there arent enough lend lease vehicles in UK”, i am not asking for them for US, just pointing out the UK already has a lot of them

You are managing to ignore the fact that Britain has plenty of lend lease while complaining that Russia apparently gets preferential treatment

Compared to the Soviets then to overall

all of which you named are premiums or event vehicles btw, a lot of US designs (the reason I use this is because not all of it was lend lease) are still missing from the british tree, we still dont even have an early mustang that was entirely unique to the UK, we are still missing the Tomahawks and Kittyhawks, We are still missing any of our US bombers like the Maryland or Baltimore.

I can understand not wanting lend lease vehicles in trees, but things like the ones I just mentioned, which weren’t supplied under lend lease, should come.

this also means I support things like the Mosquito and Spitfire going to the US

The UK has plenty compared to the Soviets, and has more in the actual tech tree

they dont get TT lend lease outside of the base truck some of their early AA are made on iirc, you get shermans and stuarts, and m10’s, and fireflies, all in tech tree

We have very few that were lend lease based.
a single sherman
m3 stuart
The lee/grant
firefly
allison powered mustang
a corsair
m44 cardinal
M10 17pdr Achilles
and ill count the Churchill NA75 as it uses a mantlet salvaged from sherman ii wrecks in north Africa

not even a dent in the kit we were loaned. we don’t even have the Chaffee or most importantly the M22 when we are the only ones to have actually used it in battles in ww2.

m44 isnt a ww2 lend lease vehicle?
2 shermans btw, firelies originally made in US before conversion

i agree they should add more lend lease stuff to UK but it is more than russia which is what the original complaint was

More in the Soviet Union’s list:

  • Tanks: The Soviet Union received more tanks than Britain from the specific list, with M4A2 Shermans being the major contribution.
  • Aircraft: The Soviet Union also received more aircraft overall (especially the P-39 Airacobra) than Britain. The Soviets received approximately 18,000 aircraft, including P-40s, P-47s, and B-25s. By comparison, Britain received fewer American aircraft in terms of total numbers, but key aircraft like the P-51 Mustang and Corsair were significant.

So, in terms of quantity of vehicles and aircraft from this list, the Soviet Union received more than Britain.
