Because they’re the same rank. Honestly, a 4.7 lineup is better for a premium pack overall, especially when it’s rank 3 like the others.
Canada is both friends of USA and Britain, get over it.
I don’t dispute that Overlord theme should have that kind of date for its vehicles, but they’re charging the same price and then arguing you’re getting the same value where Germany would get 5.7 Tiger Is. This should be £19.99 not £29.99 if it’s going to have substantial differences.

£19.99 would be more like a rank 2 pack than a rank 3
I don’t think it’s fair to consider it being equivalent price to use a Crusader AA vs a Skink vs an Ostwind II, which are all in £30 packs.
It’s a substantial difference in how well you’ll grind with it because it’s less survivable and quite a low-BR SPAA. This is before we even address getting an avenger vs two Tiger Is

The AA is the smallest part of the pack, the amount of grinding you do with AA is tiny. Not £10 worth of difference.
Its the same rank 3 tanks, the same 1000 Golden Eagles, same 15 day premium time, and same title and decal preorder bonuses.
So 4.7 Firefly, 4.7 Avenger, 3.7 Crusader AA = £30
But if you play Gaijin’s favourite nation: 5.7 Tiger 1, 5.7 Tiger 1, 5.3 Ostwind II = £30
Remember, Gaijin only gives Firefly APDS to kill those Tiger 1s reliably if you play the Italian version of it, too.
Both rank 3 lineups, same grinding potential.
Germany favourite Gaijins nation??? HAHAHAHAHHA.
USA pack: 6.0, 5.7 and 5.3.
Soviets pack: 5.7, 5.7 and 4.0 or 3.7 (Germany new Spaa added first to Soviets cuz favourite nation…)
All pack are more or less the same. I agree with probably give a lower cost due probably less RP and SL mult. but said Germny is the favourite of gaijin is a big falacy.
And 0.3 more of BR and personally i dont think is weak APDS for 0.3 BR more is a great deal specially when you dont need that kind of shell for destroy Tigers.
Here’s how I see it, personally:
I buy that £30 pack, so does a germany main. Apparently same grinding potential.
We’ll regularly match into each other as more people play 5.7 than 3.7 so 4.7 does not see as many downtiers.
4.7s will generally lose to 5.7s, especially as the Germans got two heavy tanks. This means dying more and grinding less because someone chose to buy the “equivalent” grinding pack on a stronger nation.
If either of us bring out aircraft, one of us has an Ostwind II at 5.3, the USA guys get the Commonwealth Skink at 5.3, but Britain is “equivalent” with a Crusader AA Mk II. Guess which one gets roof penned with a slower turret traverse and less damage to aircraft…

Everyone gets uptiers, 5.7 as well
5.7 also gets uptiers a lot more commonly because the 5.7-7.7 BR range is one of the most populated, with 6.7 BR tanks commonly either only ever being uptiered or downtiered

The reason the US got the Skink initially was because of the SPAA gap of the time, and it was seen as a small trade between the nations (Britain got that one 3.7 and US got the Skink) but Gaijin doubling down and adding more Skinks to the US is stupid imo
It’s also out of the Avenger’s time frame, sooooo
(Did not mean to reply to the topic twice, sorry)

Hence why I suggested the Challenger instead. Even a Mk. IC/IC Hybrid would’ve been a better choice than the Avenger imo, seeing as there were two Tigers in the German pack.

Oh sorry, I only saw the later message
Gaijin really screwed over Britain with these ones

No worries, but yeah this was a weird choice. They probably should’ve just followed the late war theme of the others and done a Challenger and Comet.

I think the original Skink added to the US TT to fill the SPAA gap should be the last Canadian vehicle for Gaijin to even consider adding to the US TT, any further Canadian additions should go to GBR as part of the commonwealth.
That being said, I do still believe Canada should be in the pool for “potential at times” in case for like gaps and whatnot (like let’s say US or Germany has a severe gap that could only be filled with something Canadian).
I also think Germany should only be able to get modern Canadian stuff and nothing below Rank V, which isn’t already an issue
Going forward lets avoid off topic conversation, and references to current political issues. Those can be moved to PM, or just avoided entirely.

The original reply to Deathmisser’s comment made sense, but my second one only lightly mentioned current politics as a reason why the US TT shouldn’t get further Canadian additions, which is on topic to the post
