Well the point still stands that the KV-220 doesn’t have a historical gun for balancing purposes.

It was a standard German Tank crew uniform. Tankers (Panzers, Tiger, Panther etc) wore black uniform and SPG units (i.e. Stugs, Jagpanzers etc) wore grey.

That Chieftain prototype does look pretty damn sexy.

Also had no idea the TOG was so fucking HUGE, it’s twice the height of him.

The Chieftain probably won’t be representative of the real vehicle. If it was the gun and frontal armour would be unimaginably OP.
I sorta don’t want it in tanks because it’s entirely unsuited to the way the game plays and WG is almost certainly going to unrealistically nerf it so it’ll be a joke of a tank then pass it off as historically accurate getting utterly slaughtered by tanks designed much earlier.

Admittedly the Chieftain had issues- it had serious engine trouble for the first few versions but it did have a lot going for it.

I also think I saw the QinetiQ vehicle at Tankfst last year- it was an attempt at a polymer based APC or something I think that didn’t lead anywere.

That`s true. Sadly, history is used and interpreted by the politicians (and other #####) and it has always been so. At least now we have better opportunity to filter information that we receive.

that so called sherman firefly, isnt that a post-war IDF M4 sherman with a 90mm gun?

I’m actually planning to visit Europe for the D-Day memorials this year and a trip to Munster is something I’d very much like to do.

I think they are just another window licking muppet that trolls the internet.

It still was not an SS uniform. The badges are still correct for an Army uniform.

I last read on the challengers forums that he sent them all the specs and that measuring turrets with electronic devices does not work very well because of the paint , well that is what happened with the fv42. I wonder when they will the add the vickers mbt and chieftain. For me adding them would be a massive leap forward for the game. Just because i am British. Homo petteri thanks for being a smart ass. My audio drowned out when he talked about it.
