Paper Vehicles: Should they be added, or forgotten?

Arado 234 was used in bomb runs against the Ludendorff bridge.

IMO the best argument in favor of paper tanks is how it could benefit minor nations, who might not get any other vehicles otherwise.

It would be interesting to see tanks like Hungarian 44M Tas in-game

Edit: I can see how some people would find it annoying being killed/outperformed by what is effectively a “fake” vehicle. That’s why I think extra care should be put into these to make them as “grounded” as possible, and not overpowered.

C-3 didn’t have guns.

Except your comment I replied to just said “Ar 234”, and didn’t specify the version.

You’re moving the goalpost

See?

Yes I did:

Stop falsely accusing everyone you come across.

It isn’t fake. He’s just bigoted.

Doble standarts again…

No “only on paper” Tanks/Planes please…

That’s where the other company starts heading Years ago, and it shows.

If Gaijin starts to open Pandora’s Box completely, this game will thrive towards chasing the carrot.

No diversity in Tanks and Plaines anymore, everything could and will be made up.

The balance will be even more F’ed up, because the “newest Sh!t” needs to be sold to people and so on…

I’m leaning strongly against this…

The O-I isn’t a paper vehicle it’s simply a vehicle with a large amount of information not closed for public view. Unless you find someone who can request to see it. Even then it isn’t much.

You mean “declassified/open for public”, right?

Is there any kind of material available, wich is describing this vehicle in detail?

If not, it’s sad to say, but we don’t need (more) “made up” vehicles.

I am honestly open to the idea of blueprint vehicles AS LONG AS:
Full specs are listed and/or easily available (armor, armament, ammo types, engine and power, etc.).
At least a handful of documents about it, no “drawn on napkin, call it good” stuff.
Any and all blueprint vehicles should be event or tech tree ONLY. No premium vehicles.
And lastly, blueprint vehicles undergo more extensive testing and balancing before reaching live servers.

Under these conditions, I believe blue print vehicles would be fine to start adding to the game.

No I mean it isn’t open to the Public. But it is declassified. However, unless you are an advisor/historian with approval you will not read touch nor even be allowed in.

i’m against, if something doesn’t exist or isn’t fully tested it shouldn’t be in game.

and the reason for this is :

this ^

if one paper vehicle is added, everyone will start going “but where is my paper vehicle for X nation”, and each time gaijin adds one, we will get deeper in the rabbit hole, with more and more fantasy vehicles. The cited message above is a pretty good example.

the Yak-141 and Kron were already bad enough (for a tree that doesn’t even need them), no need to make the situation even worse.

And before Razer comes with its list of fantastic vehicles in other trees, yes, if kron and yak are removed, so should those vehicles.

Only time its acceptable is when Gaijin has no choice. R2Y2’s are a prime example of this.

How so? The other vehicles I mentioned all have detailed blueprints of all parts of their design, and many had mock-ups or partial hulls constructed.

Where are the E-50/75 mock-ups?
Where are the blueprints of their turrets?

I think it’s fine so long as we don’t go down the World of Tanks approach.

Tanks like the Tiger 10.5cm and Panther 2 never bugged me being in the game because they’re still plausible vehicles to some degree. I’d love to see tanks like the E-75, E-50, and FV 215. The mid-tiers desperately need some love anyway.
