Rare vehicle found: Sholef V0

Well well well…
Remember when Gaijin released the [[Development] Battle Pass Vehicles: Sholef V.1 - News - War Thunder](https://Sholef V1 devlog)?

After some bug reports, I’ve decided to look into one of the sources Gaijin used, and low and behold I’ve found a completely undiscovered vehicle (credit for source being provided by @entilles303 aka Armed Snake, he’s a real one):

Behold! The Sholef V0.

In the devblog, Gaijin mistakenly said that the Sholef V1 had an L/39 cannon when it actually has an L/45 cannon. THIS is the Sholef prototype that actually had the M-71 L/39 howitzer!
We can also see some small differences between this unnamed prototype and the existing V1 and V2 like the complete lack of any ladders on the turret face or the lack of any inscriptions on the turret sides like V1 and V2 have.

Thus, I’ve decided to give it an unofficial-official name: Sholef V0 - the true first prototype of the Sholef program.

edit: I’m just saying again that “Sholef V0” isn’t the official actual name of the vehicle, but a one I gave it considering its lack of a name which also correlates to the other Sholef variants’ names.

This is what the BP vehicle should have been, not the butchered Sholef V1 we have…

Thinking back on that now, I wonder if it means anything engine wise… probably not, but just a thought that randomly crossed my mind (after getting a notif from a like on a comment of mine in this thread).

They need honestly need to do more research on the next vehicles before adding them.
