Poll: Should War Thunder Add More Tech-Tree Vehicles to Japan, Sweden, Italy, and Israel?

No, you ignored the fact that the “better mobility” of the T-55AM-1 is in fact negligible due to the increased weight.

Im using stats to show the… stats of the vehicle. To compare them.

Leopard A1A1 is too much better than T-55AM-1, if Leopard A1A1 fired 3BM25 then sure but it doesn’t.

Again, the upgraded engine is offset by the additional 5 tons of weight, consequently the hp/t ratio goes up only ~3% between the T-55M and the T-55AM-1.

M1000A1 is a tungsten penetrator, 3BM25 uses a steel penetrator. Tungsten rounds are modeled in game to spall more than steel.

~400mm LOS at 60 is not just slightly better than ~260mm LOS at 60. How many opponents are you fighting with completely flat, unangled armor like a Tiger I? Superior 60 degree pen means superior performance at 8.7 and above.

Plenty of players find the IKV103, SAV and Bakan to be op.Some youtube content creators have as well.

The Ikv 103 is rather universally regarded as meh at best, and the Bkan, while powerful, is a fair BR or two above its competitors, has limited traverse, and has a godawful sight. The SAV is its own thing.

I dont make the rules up im just saying

Every patch I’m praying for the Japanese planes that were leaked years ago.

It doesn’t have enough ammo and lacks speed imo. If it had good armor then it would be better, but it’s just slow and doesn’t really have the penetration to back that up.

Something like that would be nice, since there aren’t enough vehicles at the BR for a full line-up.

Idk why people think it shouldn’t go down, it’s not amazing or anything.

The Grifo/Land Ceptor system has IR and EO tracking on the truck itself iirc.

I honestly prefer it to get scouting and better belt even if br gets increased.

Meanwhile me uptiering Ikv 103 to 7.0:
maniacal laughter

R3 really shouldn’t go up, it would just turn into a worse version of the Weasel if that happened (and there’d be no real reason to play the R3 at that point).

It’d also create a huge SPAA gap from 3.7 to 7.3/7 (with the ZSU-57-2 and Leo 40/70 not really counting as SPAA) that the Csepel truck wouldn’t fix that as we can already see with the Bosvark. As for AA M113s, the best I’ve seen that Italy actually used (that wouldn’t just be the SIDAM 25) is the VCC-2 which has a single 0.50 cal.

M113 HS 820 - A bigger, slower, not really more protected R3.

M113 RH202 AA - Same as above but gets two cannons.

M113 Oerlikon 25/80 - Same as above but one cannon and half the rounds of the R3.
