Skimming through the HD scans of those two newsreels again. It seems that the Tactical Numbers of the alleged SU-88 and T-34-88 were 511 and 512, respectively.

It’s funny because it’s true.
It’s also sad because it’s true.

Remember, they still didn’t add StuG IV, not to mention Jagdpanzer IV (late), with the L/70 version front Armor into the game.

Yeah and the KV-1 L-11 and KV-2 1939 are some obscure and rare production variants.
They didn’t even add the Finish KV to the Soviet tree.
Many WW2 SPGs are missing and a ton of armored cars.
No upgrade to the StuG III G either.
Gaijin was like: The best I can do is cover tanks in track armor. And then they forgot about that again.

No Belgian interwar and cold war boxes. No French pre-war super obscure prototypes. No 44M Tas, no Romanian tank destroyers… who knows what else is missing. Schofield tank… artillery for every nation (SU-14, G.W. Vickers Mk.6/Wespe/Hummel, M12, Bishop) replaced with modern slop…

Top tier is where the money is, sadly.
I wish I lived in the timeline where War Thunder stayed focused around WW2, maybe going into early cold-war with the T-54/55 and Centurion, but no further.
And people would love it.

The problem is more with them abandoning idea of uniqueness for nations and adding copy-paste subtrees.
My guess is that they are abandoning the idea of national tech trees all together in the future… They abandoned the idea of no top tier premiums for example which was the core idea of tech trees before.

are we still arguing over the T34/88 not having a 88 KWK ?
or did you guys figure it out ?
i dont think anyone ever said the panther 2 was real im pretty sure thats something gaijin cooked up themselves
as the IRL panther 2 from blue prints would look very similar to a panther F
planned it would have a 75MM like the Panther Fs

According to the German record, it is quite certain that they stuffed an 85/88mm Flak gun tube into the T-34-85/SU-85 firing mechanisms.

yeah makes sense since 85 isnt much smaller than 88 probably had to install a new recoil system they also fit a 100MM inside one so a 88 is reasonable
