Sherman M4A1(76)W

Do you have premium? If no, congratulations, if yes, you like to win easily.
And if you have not vehicle to add between 2 BRs add vehicle that the nation used!

Mee too. More play styles, more fun. I misunderstood your post

Italy is a minor nation, there will always be gaps.

Every tech tree already has at least one M4 variant.

the way to fix gaps isnt just to fill them, but to make sure that you can form lineups regardless. and the way to do that isnt to homogenise the tech trees, but to de-compress them, and get the vehicles in a good lineup for each BR.

gaps are inevitable, they do not always need to be filled, just fixed so that they work as a lineup instead of as individual vehicles at random BR placements.

Having also played France and Sweden I can relate to having gaps, but shoving land lease into them just makes it USA vs USA, and thats not very fun honestly.

Sorry but sometimes you will have only 1 vehicle and no lineup if you don’t do CnP

Its a minor tech tree, that is to be expected.
There are dozens of WW2 era vehicles that are missing from the game, we should be looking for actual italian vehicles instead of just copy/pasting USA into every nation with a hole in it.

How would you feel to boot into a match and see that both teams are all either shermans or T-34s for the entire game.

So you would rather have no lineups for certain BRs than to have some CnPs mixed with unique vehicles? But what’s the point?

Yes, because this game lives and dies by the unique qualities of its tech trees.

and have you ever played simulator battles? a little bit of Copy and Paste makes it damn near impossible to actually tell friend from foe half the time. luckily most of the T-34s are friendly. but try telling apart multiple different unmarked Shermans and M18s and M24s at range while they are moving before they shoot you.

even the finnish Panzer 4 causes issues because it is the only ‘allied’ Panzer 4 in sim, the soviet T-III causes similar issues but is rarer. and the T-V only works because of its unique camo, the Dauphine Panther gets teamkilled constantly because it looks german.

Italy is already being positioned as the tree for Axis minor nations, so instead of adding Land-Lease they should be adding unique vehicles from those other axis minors. not more copy and paste

Well, I can understand why it would be difficult in SB. If the problem is that you can’t distinguish between various Sherman is a problem that Gaijin need to address with more default unique camouflages. But leaving vehicles like a TD without CAS, AA or tanks is unthinkable for me

The problem in sim is Silhouettes, people can use decals to hide that camo. case in point: Italian M18 plastered with USA flags to hide its markings, this is common and gets them both Teamkilled and lets them fool the allies team.

but you can always uptier vehicles when you unlock new ones. its not as bad as many people think, its certainly sub-optimal, but its better then adding another M4A1 76 W at 5.0.

Seriously, im not opposed to adding new vehicles, I just hate fighting copy and paste vehicles. nothing is worse then fighting your own tank, because it just becomes either “who fires first” or “does this guy know how to fight their own tank”.

There is so much Copy/Paste in this game already, I just dont want there to be even more. the more Copy/Paste vehicles that get added, the less likely it is that Gaijin will fix the underlying problems.

Disable decals for SB? And uptiering vehicles is atrocious

Disabling decals would cause even more problems because it would remove recognition markings.
the clear solution is to reduce the amount of copy paste vehicles across nations.
Uptiering vehicles isnt ideal, but again, it is better than copy/paste.

Besides, the M4A1 76W would be 5.0br, doesnt Italy have the Sherman VC at that br already?

There isnt a very big list of what Italy could get a 4.7 / 5.0 for domestic vehicles.

Historically the US used the lend lease program to aid other nations, so its only obvious that there would be CnP.

On the issue of Simulator battles, i believe gaijin should shorten the time it takes to identify enemy.

They could also just remove vehicles from the bracket.

Man, if you put a standard camo that can make you tell who is FoF it’s not a bad idea to disable the custom decals option

Mate, have you heard of this glorious thing called
BUSH?

or god forbid, concealment?

Camo doesnt do shit for identification at range. try spotting whether or not a vehicle is USA or Italy based on what shade of green it is at 1100m.

and besides, Italy is a Minor Nation, they are going to have gaps.
copy and paste just makes the nations all blur together as amagamations of the ‘big 3’.
Gaps are going to happen, dont just shove Post War Land Lease into the WW2 era. it makes it suck to play.

If you want a gapless tech tree, then play a nation that actually was good at tank design in WW2.

No I don’t think I will.

Thats what the rangefinder is for!

Well now, does the US have a Sherman VC? A Breda? A G.55? How the hell would i play them?

Cof cof Gaijin added the hungarian tt only for adding more copy/paste vehicles.

Nope, but US used C.202 and P.108.
