As a non-native english speaker the term “maintenance bear” made me think about an actual BEAR doing tank MAINTENANCE. That would be awesome!

Internet tough guy, huh? Are you really incapable of telling the difference, or do you just like trolling?

In-game one was called “Canadian Tank Hunter” IRL.

Overall, there are a lot of carriers with 2-pdrs.

Correct, the one in game is IIRC the Canadian attempt at mounting a 2 pounder on a Universal Carrier with the gun at the front. The Australian version has the gun at the back and also has 360 degrees of traverse.

there was also a British attempt by I believe Vickers, to mount a 2 pounder with limited traverse inside of a conical casemate on the rear of a Universal carrier but it never got past prototype stage due to the cramped conditions and lack of interest

although they are both uc2pdr tanks, the in-game model has a front mounted gun, if i remember correctly. This one has it on the back

Are you stupid or just blind?

Why exactly didn’t we get this as the tier 2 Brit TD? It looks so much better than the UC2pdr.
