The KV-1A or KV-1B can still go in the Swedish tech tree as far as I’m aware since they were operated by the Finnish as well (we have the rare event KV-1B tank already for Germany anyway)
And for Japan well, they didn’t produce much or if any significant heavy tank during WW2 so that is pretty much to be expected. Thailand will still probably help out for Japan, especially for their top-tier tank/air lineups.
O-I could maybe work, and its close enough to a prototype that I think it would be okay. Iirc one school has the track links of it or smth
The OI entered prototype testing phase but failed cause it was no longer seen as variable due to it’s size and weight transportations was gonna be worse the the Maus and that it was also gonna be to slow.
Thats enough to be ingame, it gives japan a heavy tank.

Not really. Such a weight was initially included in the requirements within the technical specifications, which stated in plain text that the tank must have a mass of over 100 tons.
That’s also not true. It was created modular, with the ability to be disassembled and delivered to a specified location in parts, via a standard railway.
And this is not true. In testing it reached 30 km/h, and it was stated that it could have reached higher speeds if not for the short length of the paved area at the factory where it was built. Based on the transmission numbers, its maximum speed would be about 40 km/h.

fair I also have a pretty shaky memory.
So I will source my info next time
What’s your source fir this? Because this would pretty much guarantee that the O-I was definitely built.
I’m sorry I don’t understand, what do you mean in which context?

Not a bad idea, for all the vehicles like the events vehicles.

Honestly the biggest reason they wont do this is because even if they could monetize it the vocal minority that either want it to be rare or not in game will shock gaijin back into their cages.
That makes no sense, if I recall if you were researching it then you should still have had access to finish researching it. The same case was with the Maus.
Speed wasn’t an issue it was a given/expected, it was primarily weight, Japan had no vessels that could handle the weight without potentially damaging the dang-on thing. Besides that, wouldn’t have served much of a true purpose irl simply because the idea of a multi-turreted vehicle wasn’t as efficient in every aspect from economical, maintenance, crewing, and logistics in general.
I don’t think the KT105 and the Panther II are physically possible designs, but the Coelian is as real as the Ostwind 2 and i don’t get why it was removed from the tech tree

He just didn’t read what you write, just with the title he build it’s answer and it’s a No. Maybe they will add them as researchable back for some time in November 19 as 5 years since they got removed or at annyversary.
With the first thing of what DV answered Astro, maybe there might be a posibilitie where they just don’t want us to know they are doing something. Just a maybe.
It’s not an isolated incident, @StrykerSerg had the same thing happen:

Do you have a working link to Astro’s video? It’s just leading to the homepage for me, but that could be because I don’t have a TikTok account.
It came out before he switched to Youtube I could check but it might take me a bit
Tiger 2 105 ?? i dont know because is complete paper but Coelian and Panther 2 should return due they have “real parts” specially the Coelian.
I’d appreciate that, thanks!
