ah, tiger 131, i mean it would be cool, could also give the US a special sherman that looks like ‘fury’ too
@ghostplayer0007 I might hope gajin consider add AV-8B NA before AV-8B+ Harrier II and A-10C Thunderbolt II because could be 11.3 BR at rank 8 same Tornado IDS (1995) & JH-7A but battle rating lower AV-8B+ & A-6E SWIP and without Litening II targeting pod
I mean once you reach 11.3 the br doesnt really matter that much, most of the times you only get uptiers all the way to 12.3. Not to mention this planes will be more efective in ground rb, where br limit is significantly lower.
Happy New Year 2024 🎊
I hope gajin not forget new attack aircraft toptier at rank 8 for USA tech tree that’s close Harrier GR.7

Britain still operates a working Tiger 1 (131)
So … yeah, a future Tiger 131 addition to UK tree is bound to happen and will be quite a fun event … (provided those are given out in extremely limited numbers)
Ah yes, the Soviet Conqueror.
Britian exchanged it for an IS-2 in 1988.
and a reminder of the scale as to how absolutely huge the Conqueror was/is.

Well, can you imagine … a unique Jagd-King-Tiger for US?
A king-tiger with fixed turret traverse, available in extremely limited numbers as an US event vehicle.
That’s not a J-16, that’s a Su-30. The J-16 doesn’t have a pitot tube.
welp wikipedia said it was , guess somoine will have to update it
cause once again , i’m not as much a naval/air guy as i am a tank guy
The Il-102s nose looks like from the early Hs 129.

I wish they would fix AIM-7s and other SAHR missiles that they’ve utterly broken with the release of the latest update
Hell even now my R-24Rs are going off in the opposite direction of the locked aircraft which is something that only happened on the F-15 up until today
R-27s unaffected curiously enough

Ruining an entire unique BM Oplot to make into a 100 vehicle only event ?
Atleast we have T-55 and King Tiger in game already.
Ukraine (maybe Thai) Tech Tree is the only place it should ever be, anyway
whoa, whoa … hold on
am not saying, introducing BM Oplot only for US tree … that’d be stupid
I have been strong supporter of @Yontzee ‘s Ukraine TT suggestion. So not suggesting that …
What I am saying though is, introduce captured/preserved vehicles as extremely limited event vehicles.
Like the UK’s Tiger 131(which is pretty famous, ngl) or US’s captured King Tiger, or transferred T-84, BM Oplot or modified T-55 Jaguar and maybe even the T-90A?(lol, nah, too extreme). But much better suggestion than a US’ Merkavas.
Now to Ukrainian Oplots. Since Ukrainian TT is a bit debated topic at the moment, doubt it’ll be added anytime soon (however much we support it) … So getting Oplot or T-84 early in WT, ain’t a bad idea, even though in US’ tree.
Or else Thai Oplots … which again before any standalone Ukr TT can be added to Chinese tree, less controversial than US getting an Oplot. And can be added as regular premium/squadron vehicle rather than extremely limited event vehicle.

US Oplot? Doesn’t fit, I’d be nice to see a Thailand Oplot or Ukrainian sub tree for them though.
i would like to see the OPLOT-M 120 tbh

Update! So, now thanks to some photographer, we have some photos to make sure its 1G46 sights for gunner and TKN-4S with commander gunner system as well.
Originally, photographer thought hes getting inside T-80BV, however T-80BV has completely other gunner and commander sights, as well as different turret.
Spoiler
Why am I claiming such things?
Well heres two photos of inside the turret of T-80A and you can see on commander’s place the TKN-4S commander sight (it has TKN-4S literally typed onto it, TKN-4S is also used on T-80U) with the green commander gunner system close.
This is T-80BV commander sight and place for reference:
Images of T-80B/BV insides taken from
Т-80БВ фото (интерьер)
Now take a look again at PKN-4S (TKN-4S, im unsure whats the right name) in T-55AGM modernisation from Ukraine
Seems almost same to me. Photo taken from site describing T-55AGM modernisation:
Модернизация среднего танка Т-55
Now take a look at T-80A gunner place.
Now take a look at T-80B/BV gunner place:
These two are completely different.
Now take a look at 1G46 in some modified T-80U, probably T-80UM (we can see night scope missing but some display for thermal imager)
Now, after taking a look T-80A sight ressembles 1G46 quite closely, with main differences being just texts on sights, as well as missing brightness control on T-80A scope, so by my estimate, T-80A has some early 1G46 sight which simply lacked brightness control but was similar in all other ways.
Now, heres the source of images from the mentioned photographer:
Рабочие места экипажа танка Т-80БВ — ТехФото
Now you can clearly see on prementioned picture of T-80A in museum that place (corner the tank stands in) quite ressembles it, the turret as ERA layout are similar, the only thinga differenting are camos which museum probably changed themselves, and the camera position.
You can also see mud flaps on tank to T-80A literally being similar. All these things (position of the tank, sight systems being completely different from T-80BV) make me suppose that photographer was indeed taking photos of T-80A and not T-80BV like he thought, and T-80A through out years changed its camo in the museum.
As a note, I plan to seeing if I can visit T-80A personally to ensure its T-80A there,as well as continuing my research.
I plan to make suggestion, unfortunately I may or not lack sources that I can credit.
Update:
I found two rich sources about development of T-80A that was going on from 1978-1985, however these sources are focused on 1978-1980 mainly, without telling changes made further on, which is the version of T-80A i was first to bring up, and the one i wish to be added in game.
Heres a photo of one of the earliest T-80A variants from 1979, you can see its different from 1984 model I mainly want.

Since France is lacking any high tier support vehicles in the tech tree, I think the VBCI with the T40 turret would be a great addition to compliment the Leclercs.
The chassis for this vehicle is already implemented in a premium, and I don’t think it’s very fair that France gets its only IFV in the form of a paid vehicle.
The VBCI (T40) is an IFV equipped with a 40mm autocannon that fires telescopic rounds (as seen on the HSTV-L) at 200 RPM. It is also equipped with MMP missiles (similar to spikes) and a remote controlled 7.62mm/12.7mm machine gun.
I would really like to see France get something other than MBTs above 8.7.
