Because it removes the uniqueness of one of the best UK vehicles, it’s already bad enough that Italy gets it, but they at least used it and this ultimately has no place in the American tree

Damn this sounds familiar, I wonder where I’ve heard something like this before 🤔

I’d agree if the US Firefly was a complete copy paste, or a trialed vehicle, but it isn’t, it’s a unique modification which makes it a far better addition than the suggested T70 or anything similar
Is the T70 in the American tree right now? Last I checked they have the M18. with 50 more horsepower and some other stuff.
The T70 is Unique because it is a prototype same as how the Sherman IVCY is unique because it is a prototype.
I fail to see your point here.
that is a unique modification, never heard of such a mix of Sherman parts before. Its also the first official tank of Denmark which is pretty historically significant. While T70 GMC is a fully American design, that was only ever evaluated by the UK
Yeah having less HP doesn’t make it unique, it would just be a derated M18 like how the Black Cat was for a few months, sitting at the same BR and being objectively worse. The US Firefly is unique because it would have significantly better mobility and armor.
Besides that, the major point here that this is a trialed vehicle which have absolutely no place in the game, otherwise you could add most German WW2 vehicles to the US, give most WW2 US vehicles to Britain and Russia etc. slowly but surely completely killing any differences between nations.

India and Yugoslavia also used A3E4’s
That’s due to strange things involving the same vehicle under the same flag being placed in two trees. The “M4A5” should be replaced by the real Ram II the Americans tested or be removed. Skink is a different story. Neither tested nor wanted and yet it has the Star roundel to denote it is a US vehicle despite it also being under the Canadian flag. But. Cest la vie.
And the T70 would have worse mobility and armour. Like… what more do you want me to say here?

same setup with the 76 in 75 turret?
Yeah.
+1 for only an event/bp vehicle
If USA T70 in their TT comes at the same time, +0.7 for TT.
(Prefer as event vehicle)
If not, -1 for TT.
-3 if this thing comes out as US exclusive with the British flag and become Black Cat 2.0
That would never happen.
But yeah this thing would be event/BP along with the T70 in the American tree.
Well… it was my worst-case scenario along with P-400 Caribou and Ram II Cruiser tank. :'(
Well it definitely wouldn’t be flown under the British flag in any case. +1 for this one for Britain +1 for an American one for American. It’s that shrimple.

T70 was only evaluated while the A3E4 is extremely important service vehicle
Why? It’s an American vehicle it can just come in US Army paint
I am sorry that I made you confused :|
Maybe I was a bit tipsy. :/
If Gaijin never gave this to the UK but made it US-exclusive with the USA flag and paint. I might be a bit sad, but I might admit it because (with a joke) Brits are not allowed to have things in this game.
But, if Gaijin gave T70 GMC into the US exclusively but made it with a British flag somewhat similar to Ram II
(Which will never gonna happen)
I might be mad about Gaijin’s teabagging.

Yeah, I was unhappy about whole AV-8B+ thing (though that’s arguably different), would have been even worse if they added a USMC one to Italy
