Off-topic/General chat for Britain

I would sell my soul, I love the Challenger 1, noone can convince me it was not the best tank to come out of Britain relative to its competition.

It’s unstable. What I don’t understand is why you have the Bishop at a higher BR. As it should have a lower BR in general as it defiantly not a 3.3 vehicle.

have you seen the al hussien CR1

I have indeed, would be a great alternative to the Bhishma and is like the Ultimate Legacy Challenger.

However I choose to believe Gaijin selects foreign sqn vehicles with some thought of the future in-mind.
For example Germany and a Swiss F-18, I feel the same way for the Bhishma, perhaps Britain can expect more Indian vehicles in the future.

don’t it will make the french mad

I can change that, but it will take a very long time.

Australian Mirages.

Get the French mad with a nation that fits better in UK than most.

Whats the br they should have?

The Ram II in the game is 3.7.

The late version should be higher. 4.0 is what Thatz used.

Ah, Thatz is the local Canadian ground vehicles expert.

I’m not sure what models the UK used.

All the Ram’s from Thatz tree,

There is no place in the Medium tank branch, so I will put them to the SPG

Completely forgot this suggestion existed.

At the time of making that suggestion I didn’t know there were “sub” models, but the Ram’s that were on record on loan to Britain were all Ram Mk. II “D”'s however many tanks/variants may have been used for testing. My suggestion also doesn’t include any “Struck Off Strength to the British” as Canada didn’t want to pay to bring most of the tanks back over the ocean so we left them in UK. I only included ones that were specifically given to UK for combat use, I could be missing some tanks as records can be difficult to find.

Btw thats centurion with the 20mm coax is called Centurion P1 which refers to prototype 1

Will correct it

I found that I can make the text bigger without much loss of quality.


I will correct all and make text bigger

Why stop with just the French?

Add the Aermacchi MB-339CB and the A-4K Skyhawk to the mix, and make the Italians and Americans mad too!

I’m just going to make an announcement here and state that my discord account has been disabled because someone took a joke seriously. How people don’t have a sense of humour these days is beyond me.

Wow
