And neither is the M1296, most vehicles added to War Thunder aren’t copy-paste.
@NotARealHero
Development takes time and priorities are given, that’s the reason.
i am really tired of those slow firing 25/30mm guns everywhere

Sorry just got annoyed cause i was arguing the same thing with someone on a warthunder discord. But they had all this time with both models in game and they add the M1296. The LAV would at least to be able to use TOWs.
It won’t get added until it’s a couple years too late to be a major effective addition (this is satire do not take this seriously)
Welll at least there’s more wheeled vehicles 😋
sure

You would expect in a tank game to have iconic vehicles first rather than prototypes first

You cant put everyone in the same bag.
Firefly not the same as other shermans.
Jumbo not the same as the medium tank shermans.
F-16A not the same as F-16C or F-16I.
and P-51/ P-47s

Thanks for proving that my post contains correct information.
Same reason we don’t have the amx 13 105 (hull is obvious, turret is same as df105). Nobody knows but the reason is most likely stupid. Drip feeding content.
I am mostly salty about the amx 13 105 as there have been updates before just like the current one where france gets nothing (mayhe except 1 ship) while this is a really easy way to actually add a new vehicle without any real work.

you aint gaming if you aint shermanmaxxing
You’re right that minor variants aren’t inherently copypaste. What you’re wrong about is minor variants not becoming copyslop once gaijin clearly makes the decision to prioritize low effort copyslop rather than develop unique and new chassis/vehicles
It is overdue in my opinion, the Scorpion series, the BMDs 1-3 too. But alas, all will come eventually, and as the recent trend with light armored vehicles continues suggest I’d be surprised if they miss these, also not to mention there are a lot to scoop up in general so they have a content stream for quite a while.
And there’s a fully fledged functional m113 M2HB model in game and we don’t have that yet
Well they are copy and paste. A lot of people don’t understand how 3D models really work, especially when it comes to different variants and stuff. Unless Gaijin is making every plane from scratch (They’re not unless they prove otherwise.) These planes are made at one time, with each option being a toggle to display or not display.
Its why sometimes when the SU34 bugs out in your hangar you can see the ECM pods on the wingtips lol
O our 3 degrees of copy paste. These 114pen 30mm autocannons are all around degree 2
if we do lav25 there would be lav6, aslav and the whole family lol

As a 3D modeler myself, you’d be surprised how often assets are reused/copy pasted in games in general. It saves on time and game complexity, but comes with issues like you mentioned. There really needs to be a massive model overhaul for older vehicles and as for aircraft, more complex models in general.
Saves on money is the biggest thing.
Gaijin has fallen to a sad state of money grabbing as much as possible. It was extremely pathetic they released a premium helicopter with a placeholder cockpit in recent times.
