T70 Gun Motor Carriage (UK Trials) - the Hellcat prototype crosses the Atlantic

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.

RAM and Skink in the US tree are sweating in a corner so hard rn

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

-1, the only way I’d support this is if the British also removed explosive filler from their M62 shells. Considering that a few vehicles sporting the American 76mm were used by the UK, it wouldn’t suprise me, although I have not heard anything of the sort.

Well they also didn’t remove the filler from M61 either. There’s a 0% chance of that happening.

-1 for the UK tree, neutral on it getting added to the US. We shouldn’t ask the Snail for more copy-paste vehicles given the rampant copypocalypse of the last two years (Example: everyone getting an M44 and M109, sometimes even at the cost if getting any indiginous designs that one update).
If the T70 gets added it should be US only. Britain has enough homemade tanks that we’ve yet to see in the game. And for the US I would also rather see entirely new designs instead of a slighty different (worse) Hellcat, but at least it’d be a US design for the US.

Why is a deliberate handicap necessary for your permission? Primary sources showing the use of M61 with filler have been provided, the removal of filler in the early war was due to poor fuses, and the explosive could be more usefully employed elsewhere.

I simply prefer each vehicle in the game to offer something new. And while yes, a removal of explosive filler would be a deliberate handicap, it would also (hopefully) necessitate a lower BR, which would in itself provide a new experience over say, a slightly slower M18.
