This and the M22 should be in the British tree
It’s primarily because the US continued developing it when the British dropped out. majority of the production and such for prototypes was from the US.

I’d be ok if it went to 5.0. Then we have a need for the T14 to come to the tree at 4.7

And the Boarhound.
It’s an incredibly rare event vehicle that costs almost 90 Gaijin coins on the marketplace.
Why? The T14 was made for the British, the Excelsior was made for the British. That’s just cope.

185mm frontal armor thats the same as the manlet as a tiger 2 H thats a 6.7 tank
american 75MM cannon on the sherman stands zero chance of penetrating any where frontally when it angles its almost completely immune to the long barreled 75MM of the german tanks too

you can drivers port the KV1E and you can shoot the cheeks of the KV1E basically the same weakspot unlike KV1E you get a better gun the KV1E uses the F32 cannon which with its best round has 87MM of pen compared to the T14 with its pen of 104mm, the 3.7 KV1 L11 has 10mm less pen than the F32 it has 77mm, you also get a better reload 6.3 for the KV1E vs 5.0 second for the T14
yes you get the angle performance boost but on a gun with such low pen it almost doesnt really affect much
the T14 is as OP as the KV1E
Oh you’re so right bro, let’s measure the capability of the tank by the LOS thickness of a tiny little bit of armor. Same BR:
…You mean the same exact 75mm the T14 is armed with? And what? Immune to the german 75? 3.3 Pz IV F2, btw
And I say yet again, the KV-1E’s round has far better angled performance to the point where you can get away with some truly absurd pens comparatively. The T14’s weakspots are massive and obvious by comparison, and it faces much better guns on average.
just like with the m6a1 that should be in the british TT.
British M6? Tell me more.
They had literally nothing to do with it.
They didn’t have any part in the design, They didn’t ask for it, They didn’t test them, None left the US.
The closest connection they have is the Excelsior used the same suspension design as the M6, Sharing part of a suspension system is extremely weak grounds to make a copy-paste claim.

if i’m not mistaking the m6 was made by british standard for the british and the t1e1 should have been the american version of the vehicle.
What? The m6 is the production version the US uses the letter T for prototypes and pilot vehicles before they switch over to using X

A +1 from me, honestly. Being a joint project and all, they should have added it to both the US and the UK. That said, I really wish Bovington would let the US have the T14 back; it would be neat to see it as part of the Armor and Cavalry Collection. As opposed to it sitting in storage

Nah, unlike the T14 the T1/M6 was completely an American program. They did offer some vehicles to the British, but these were never shipped. At one point the British even hypothesized putting a 17-Pdr into the T1/M6.
I don’t mean to sound rude, genuine question here, but why should they send it back? The US made 2 of them. They sent one to the UK and decided to scrap theirs.
More so, my thought was that the thing isn’t even on display and has sat in the museum’s reserve collection for at least a decade. If they’re not going to display it, perhaps they might be interested in trading it for something equally unique. There are quite a few ultra-rare, near-unobtanium things the US has in its storage yards that might tickle Bovington’s fancy. So, i.e., it helps fill a gap in the US’s own preservation record, and Bovington could get a unique tank that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to acquire.

“Adding it to the correct nation”?
Brit here, I don’t see why either of these options wouldn’t be a correct option but I don’t agree with just copying and pasting a unique premium into another tree. It doesn’t achieve anything. Britain 4.7 is already good and anyone who wants to experience the T14 can do so with no grind at a very low price. We accomplish nothing by adding this to Britain.

…Except for adding another option, which was historically meant for Britain to use.
