Not related to this topic but why can the M163 not float? Could it not irl, is it a bug or smthng else
The M163 is heavier and has a higher centre of gravity than the base M113 which is basically an empty box. Although it can be made amphibious it requires more effort and additional side and front mounted flotation cells which aren’t fitted as standard. In contrast the early M113 could float with minimal preparation and no extra equipment.
Both types, as well as related models, had the standard amphibious capability removed as they gained weight with the various upgrades over time. They can still ford deep water but can nolonger swim freely.

Ok good to know, thank you.
no its not a bug I only know of 4 ships in the US tt that can float 3 of them are 3 different versions of the lvt
Ok
It would not fit currently. It is more akin to an F-15E than anything currently available
New attack aircraft 11.7 (Air RB) ~ 12.3 BR (Ground RB) with armed IR AAM only but very good targeting pod and guidance Air-to-Ground munitions
A-10C (refit 2015 ~ 2017)
AV-8B Night Attack

Reminder that said floatation cells are present on the vehicle, per gaijin it is because the front splash plate has to be manually deployed.
This is why no M113s in game can currently float which is frankly rather stupid.
Would be cool to get more howitser/tank destroyer type vehicles.
For example:
-
M7 Priest self propelled artillery
(Don’t know why this isn’t already in the game, seems like it would work in the ww2 era of the game) -
M53/M55 self propelled artillery
((M55)Light armour, around 50kmh, 10 shells when fully loaded. Belgian version could be added for a german sub tree) -
M40 self propelled artillery
(A 155mm that would be a nice addition to add some diversity) -
M44 self propelled howitser (with the .50)
(Also could be added to germany) -
M110 self propelled howitser
(Another meme-able platform that could be added to multiple nations) -
M92 self propelled howitser
(Yes 240mm is a bit overkill but would be funny)
Some of them might only be usable when stationary but platforms like the M7, M44 and the M53/M55 would be a cool addition.

Yes, especially the upgraded version with SHORAD, but it will also be able to engage light armored threats as well.
I want this soooo badly, it’s not even funny

The last 2 photos there are the AV-8B Plus. You can clearly see the lengthened nose to contain the AN/APG-65 radar. Which is another plane USA should’ve already gotten, especially since Italy already has it.
lol, no
We will get our 8th edition of the Su-25
If gaijin not ready USMC AV-8B+ this quarter. I think gaijin could add AV-8B+ for USA tech tree in Q3 or Q4 this year
AV-8B Plus from USMC armament like AV-8 Plus in italy tech tree but italian navy never armed AGM-65E
For AV-8B Night Attack, You don’t worry because equivalent Harrier GR.7 from great britain tech tree

And that’s just planes! I’m sure there is a lot for ground I could find that I also want, but I dont want to make this post to long so I won’t add ground unless asked.

So do I lol
I sincerely hope the US sees the addition of some of its iconic aircraft, of course, most of all I wish to see the AV-8B+
The F/A-18 is something I am also hoping to see this year, curious how they will add it!
F-18 would either be added under the F-14 or the A-7 line, if they don’t add the AV-8B+ it’s more likely they’ll add it under the A-7 line since the F-14 is way WAY newer in game than the A-7E (and also has more features and capable air to air and CAS options).
