Having a discussion & throwing around ideas, putting out a request for drawings, wooden mock ups, design studies, putting out a tender for a prototype are all very different things.

I’m sure Waffenpruefamt 6 discussed many, many things, that after all was part of their remit – including discussion of the ludicrous ideas that came from mad professors like Porsche to complete nut cases like Hitler. That doesn’t give Wargaming complete artistic license to make shit up then call it ‘based on a real design’.

That one comes (more or less) from an early-war AA gun project. Weird looking thing, IIRC SS may have done an article on it a while ago.

Never, at least as far as WG has stated themselves.

Same for the P.1000 Ratte (not counting its appearance in an April Fools video they made once). That being said it’d make one hell of a PvE Event Boss if WG decides to implement such a thing.

Actually, that could work…maybe the Sturmtiger would be at tier 9 then, and the only difference between that gun on the Sturmorser E-100 and as it is on the Sturmtiger would be soft stats (i.e. rate of fire)

That’s a good way of summing it up.

It’s an extrapolation of what kind of vehicle it would have been based on available (albeit limited) information, as no blueprints of such a vehicle exist in the present, if they existed at all.

That being said it could possibly have existed, but I’m not sure about the autoloader mechanism.

If the Wafflemaker E-100 has a “right to exist” then what about…

A30 Challenger
Avenger
Archer
Charioteer
Light Tank Mk VIII “Harry Hopkins”
FV301
A7
A38 Valiant
FV4004 Conway
A1E1 Independent Heavy tank
A20 Heavy Tank
COMRES
A24 Cavalier
Vickers No. 45569T Light Tank
Vickers MBT
FV4001 Prototype
AC-1 Sentinel
AC-4

And that’s just the Brit tanks (and I’m even missing some). Don’t get me started on the French tanks. But yet the Germans and Russians get paper fantasy tanks?

I would have to agree with that one.

*Sigh*
I know that.

BUT, Panther 2 wasnt fully completed and Tiger 2 1946 never left the drawing board. Its not historical. Maus is more historical. IS-3, T-54, T-44 and IS-4 are superior and MUCH more historical as well.
