To give Britain a competitive 12.0 MBT?
As well as get noobs to spend GE on free stuff

Due to player demand i guess. Though they only like to listen to half the demands so i think it is added for new players to buy it

could they just not move the old m1a1 aim?

a new vehicle means more money for gaijin

That would be anti-consumer & anti-player to do.
People went after the American M1A1 AIM because of where it is & what it offers the tech tree.
& honestly, I’m already sick of FOMO from premiums that get delisted [looks at AH-64A Peten], and that should not happen with squadron vehicles.

peten was in us tech tree? i thought it was only in israel

It was, I have it.
It was replaced with the Greek one [which is now announced as a sub-tree of Israel].
Britain has a delisted premium for Israel’s premium Centurion as well.

i played before israel and i dont remember there being a peten in usa so its surprising to me

Australia is a british subtree.

Gaijin just wont remove the one in the US tree, or rework it to be a US operated AIM

It was there before Israel was even a tech tree and was replaced with a greak one

Gaijin never really “move” vehicles across trees. For example, the Israeli vehicles in France, GB and America are still in those nations, just unobtainable or marketplace. The Greek AH-64A is not going to move to the Israeli tree, but they could receive a separate vehicle. The same goes for Italian vehicles in Germany, the Swedish Strv in GB, etc. etc. They just make a new version of it.

Eg, the American M1A1 AIM is the us_m1a1_aim_abrams, the British M1A1 AIM is uk_m1a1_aim_abrams. They share the same stats and such, but are treated as separate vehicles.

^These are all Israeli vehicles that predate the Israeli tree. They never moved them, just delisted them or left them on the marketplace (in the case of the Merkavas).

So that gaijin can continue to pretend the British TT is fine and ignore the dozens of outstanding reports for the Challenger 2

I support this because it eliminates the duplicate, the US AIM should be replaced with a USMC AIM. People who already own it would of course keep it, and then be able to research the USMC AIM in addition.

Because Australia is now a UK sub-tree so their tanks go there.
A better question is why Has the old one not been changed to the USMC M1A1 SA.

No they can hide them so they are no longer available, but they cannot remove them for players that have them (except for that one time with the CV-90105 TML, which I an still annoyed about).

that would be good

So noobs spend GE on it. Britain should not have gotten abrams tanks, they should’ve gotten Challenger fixes so their own tanks are competitive instead of copy slopping shit.

Probs just another “oh look, shiny shiny” to distract us from the fact they still haven’t fixed accepted bug from years ago.

The brits Abrams kinda better than the US one, because players are blind and brits Abrams is bushy so its invisible to the eye that they would simply drive passed it thinking it was a tree. Even CAS would think they just flew over a square palm tree bro

Camo nets are not that good bro
