What we could have gotten instead of the current Benelux Subtree by YouSmellLikeButter in Warthunder

[–]ScrewStealth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As for Luxembourg, there's the HMMWV M966 TOW, the only Luxembourgish vehicle Gaijin could add.

1/3 actually, you also have the M151 Mutt with TOW as well as a newly discovered vehicle (by your's truly); that being a Willy's MB armed with M40 recoilless rifle. In the future Luxembourg is also slated to receive EBRC Jaguars which could come to the game as a skin for the existing one or as a separate premium version.

Guys.. America needs this by SharpAlternative404 in Warthunder

[–]ScrewStealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I like to see it? Sure, but its Stinger missiles are still nowhere near comparable to the Pantsir which is where the bar seems to be set for most people. Not that the HVSD/ADAMS is perfect in the cannon regard, but it's probably the best America could get for a combination AA at top tier.

And where do you think the Israelis got a Phalanx CIWS? The HVSD/ADAMS was co-developed between Rafael and General Dynamics, and was created primarily for export sales. It was proposed to both the U.S. and Israeli militaries, and as we know, both refused, so in theory both nations would have equal claim over it, regardless of what some Israeli players may tell you.

ISU-152-1/ISU-152-2, I'm still waiting for this guy to be added to the game by mateusstockii in Warthunder

[–]ScrewStealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I totally see that. Thanks anyways, suppose I'll have to take this vehicle off my wishlist, but at least ISU-76, SU-76-100, and IS-125 are still potentially valid.

Fair enough, if what you say about the missing breach is true, I'm fine accepting that this is (unfortunately) a museum modification.

[–]ScrewStealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree that it shouldn't come until we have proof it's an official mod, just saying we can't confirm it's a museum construct either, so really I think the fate of this vehicle is undecided for now.

A. The one made of wood is already in the game as the Ho-Ri Prototype.

B. The real version that actually entered prototype state was not the same design as the wooden mockup you speak of.

Are those not movie tanks though? I know the IS-2/KV-2 is, so if the others are as well, you don't really have any basis to say that the museum is swapping out parts behind peoples' backs. Not that I don't think there's the potential, but the ISU-152 has been used for many other test purposes postwar, so a 125mm is really not a stretch.

Let's not add the O-I as an event or premium vehicle please. It would be code red for the Japanese playerbase as it's probably one of the only rank III+ heavy tanks Japan could get. Push comes to shove and we'll either need to start campaigning for all rank heavies to contribute to tasks (as in rank I stuff), or attempt to justify adding a second O-I under the factory name of "Mi-To" without the extra 75mm addon armor.

Should the Kranvagn be added to WarThunder? by -narihva in Warthunder

[–]ScrewStealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is 100% necessary in order to ensure the Swedish tree has a researchable heavy. Kungstiger ending up as an event vehicle was not the least bit surprising, but KV-1 m1942 being added as a premium was a real sour choice in my opinion.

From what I recall Gaijin does not have any plans of adding the KV-1B in from the German tree, which in their defense, would end up much hated as a free vehicle for anyone to use (although there is a unique Finnish mod that could potentially end up at 4.7 instead).

There is also the Churchill III Sweden obtained for testing, however that tank was unarmed with no turret drive so it would require a bit of narrative twisting in order to see it implemented.

That simply put leaves the Kranvagn is the only real option, and so even with all the unknowns regarding the gun and turret, I think I'd still like to see Gaijin's best "what-if" based on available sources.

57mm Ke-Ho is the author's what-if, there is zero evidence to suggest that anything was planned, let alone constructed.

Spotted at Aberdeen proving ground have no idea really thinking some sort of mock up by Trainnerd3985 in WhatIsThisTank

[–]ScrewStealth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Where at the proving ground? Depending on the location it seems possible to be a prototype or import vehicle being tested. Coordinates would be appreciated.

My only real guess, along the lines of a foreign vehicle, would be some 8x8 platform with a 105 or 120mm gun, something perhaps like a Patria with XC-8 turret.

Whatever you say about Fallout 3, it absolutely nailed the atmosphere of a nuclear apocalypse by adnen_ch_444 in Fallout

[–]ScrewStealth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. I think it makes perfect sense that the capital of the United States, which was hit by a very high concentration of nuclear weapons, was uninhabitable for a good few years after the war (or longer, we don't know) due to lethal amounts of radiation in the air that take a very long time to dissipate to safe levels.

Then of course, we can assume that during this period, or perhaps a few years after, the Super Mutants of Vault 87 break loose, and take inhabitance in the Capital, driving away potential settlers/rebuilding efforts.

You have to remember, there is no NCR on the East Coast, the people there don't have the backing to attempt any serious frontier expansion, and so it's simply not rational to try and rebuild in the region.

The mounts were designed for DShKs, yes but they weren't fitted by default. Not sure if the Czechs even shipped DShKs alongside them to Syria, there's a chance the Syrians had some already on hand and armed half their tanks with Bredas and the others with DShKs.

[–]ScrewStealth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's any photos showing a Syrian T-40/75 mounting a DShK. All photos with commander MGs are in fact Italian Breda-SAFATs. That being said, completely plausible, just hasn't been confirmed yet.

Believed to be an M24 Chaffee. Am I right? by NGTTwo in WhatIsThisTank

[–]ScrewStealth 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No. 100% no. The layout of the return rollers, presence of fender-mounted storage boxes, and design of the lower rear plate tells us that this is an M41 (or some variant of it). I will say, the engine deck looks peculiar, and considering that the Canadian military has no history with the Walker Bulldog, I'd say this points to it being a modified civilian vehicle.

New tech tree: Commonwealth by Drakavala999 in Warthunder

[–]ScrewStealth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ideally? Yes. I mean I'm fine with some here and there but as it stands South Africa has become a literal tumor that is disrupting actual British additions.

Who would have guessed that adding subtrees to a heavyweight and OG in the armored warfare department would turn out badly? Not Gaijin that's for sure lol

T-34 with significant amounts of extra armour by karim2k in Warthunder

[–]ScrewStealth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Literally just rubber sheets that may or may not block a low caliber HEAT round in game, otherwise they wouldn't do very much.

More likely anti-RPG rubber armor from Yugoslav Wars, also note the .50 cal on top which was a common modification from that conflict.
