I’m speaking more for Ground Sim- With how many Shermans, Pershings, etc are around these days, I hear it’s down to machine-gunning one of them to tell who’s friendly and that can often give away your position.
WRT to vehicle diversity, yeah, “copy-paste” vehicles makes the game more interesting than always having certain vehicles be exclusive to certain nations. Plus, it allows smaller nations like Thailand to be represented and gives slimmer trees like Japan more meat for Close Air Support.
Well ground sim has IFF for all tanks as well, I forgot to mention that cause I don’t play sim ground much at this time.
C’mon Alvis you are doing the silly Alvis thing again : )
Giving the same tank to every nation causes more diversity not less.
OK lets just leave you to justify how that works and how that comment makes sense
What tech tree can have an Abrams, Merkava, HSTVL, M60 AMBT, and F-111F all in one lineup?
Not Israel, it’s an entirely unique lineup to USA.
we came from this and we are returning to this : )
Wait until you find out this is what most wars are like in history.
T-14 was even designed as a tool to fight export T-72s and T-90s [which is all T-14 can do in the future anyway due to having an unarmored turret].
It’s one of the primary reasons why radar IFF systems even exist. Nations expect to fight same-equipment to the point that they have to rely on IFF again.
Wargames feature same-equipment battles as well as different-equipment battle simulations for that reason as well.
Welcome to realism. It might not be a realism you like, but I hope you’re honest enough to say “I don’t like that particular realism.” if that’s the case.
Wait until you find this game chose not to go down the history route for game play reasons.Something you often say yourself on here.
This is 2025, not 1990 .This is not what anybody expects is a pay to play game in 2025 ,its antiquated
Both historically and gameplaywise, fighting export/lend-lease versions of tanks plus their parent nation’s domestic vehicles is far more interesting than just fighting the domestics.
Gives you the ability to assess and make use of your own knowledge WRT to your tank, weakspots/mobility/firepower, and often means whoever the genuinely better player is matters more.
Lend lease in WW2 is massively overstated for political purposes and does not make for good game play.It makes for confusing game play.
The fact they have the same tanks in Ukraine fighting Russia is by no means a good thing when it comes to identification.
Might as well abandon nations as an idea altogether which has been suggested.
it’s called Russian bias
Russia has nothing to do with it. This statement doesn’t even make any sense.
The only reason the US is getting the Skink is because the vehicle indirectly involved the US as it uses components that were imported from the US to Canada. Such as the Engine and transmission. As both were not licensed out to Canada. Only the tank design was given a license.
I’ve played a few games and didn’t get bombed by CAS.
Why ADATS ?
Still would be best Italian tank on top tier
Mate this is about the Skink. I don’t recall the Bhishma having to do anything with the Skink.
it sounds like some silly whataboutism
“You britbongs stole precious T-90S from Russia. so shut up about stolen Skink”
Well, as long as we sharing our Ram II from them now, I personally think sharing skink with Americans itself sounds like fair trade though.
About C&P Problem?
It would be better if Americans got their domestic SPAA properly.
We didn’t produce a lot of SPAAs that would fit the BR bracket that the Skink is in rn.
As we were slowly moving onto 40mm bofor’s. Though chances are no more C&P SPAA’s for the US. Since after the skink your hitting the bofor’s br bracket.
its not a british gun its just a gun that was used by the british
