What would historical line ups actually look like?

Basically title, Mainly just want to see how a lot of the line ups would actually look like.

For an example i made a kinda early 1950’s line up provided by google a.i.

Any nation, any era goes

A British Army of the Rhine line up loosely based around 1955 ish. No Spaag cause the BAOR didn’t really use any And there’s not really any in the tree to use BR of 7.7.

Date breakdowns:
Conqueror - '55
Charioteer - '52
Meteor F Mk.4 - '45 (Hunter or similar would be more appropriate but uh, that’s 9.0)
Daimler Mk.2 - Ended service in '60s better would be the Coventry AC or AEC
Centurion Mk.5/1 - '55
Centurion Mk.3 - '48

BAOR '75


Slightly ahistorical this time: the SPAAGs where never service adopted (Though in both cases the hulls are almost bog standard service hulls), but as this BR SPAA is important, so I’m including them. The Buccaneer S.1 should really be the S.2 version, as all S.1s where grounded in '70, however the S.2 is higher than the 8.7 BR of this line up, so I’ve went for the S.1.
Chieftain Mk.5 - '72
Chieftain Mk.3 - '69
Buccaneer S.1 - '62
Striker - '75
Scimitar - '73
Fox - '69
Swingfire - '70ish Can’t find an exact date for the launcher itself
M109A1 - '73
Falcon - Prototype manufactured in late 60s
Chieftain Marksman - '84ish

BAOR '86


Slightly ahistorical this time: The Jaguar GR1B modifcation is a mid 90s programme, the Warrior’s milan is a later modification, and the SPAAGs where never service adopted (Though in both cases the hulls are almost bog standard service hulls), but as this BR SPAA is important, so I’m including them.
Challenger Mk.3 - '86
Challenger Mk.2 - '85
Jaguar GR1A - ~'85
Striker - '75
Scimitar - '73
Chieftain Mk.10 - '86
Tracker Rapier - '81
Warrior - '84
Falcon - Prototype manufactured in late 60s
Chieftain Marksman - '84ish

Love this.

Would be good to see a Gulf War circa lineup with Centurian AVRE and more modern kit.

M42 is inaccurate It’s on a M41 hull that didn’t exist until after the Korean War and was actually used in Vietnam

Of course the trick is making them all the same BR.

I use spreadsheets. /shame

Would basically just be the BAOR '86 line up with the Chieftain Mk.10 swapped for the Cent Mk.5 AVRE and the Jag swapped for the Buccaneer 2B or a Tornado GR1.

(And of course no Falcon or Marksman)

Pretty much Sweden 1952, the air force was up to date but the army not so much.


The army would receive Centurions a year later, but for 1952 they rocked with what they had.

A lot of that isn’t exactly historical, Yastervark is '84, Bosvark is '91, Concept 3 is '79, Avenger is a prototype programme that didn’t go anywhere based off the Challenger due to M10’s coming in, M44 is a '55-'68 thing

Its more working the other way, trying to fit whatsinthegame with what’s historicalish.

For 1944 something like this
Don’t even Talk about the IS-7 it would be in 7.7 maximum since it was made from 1945-1947

f14 vs mig21s and 23s early gen 29s and 27s
