So a medium tank with very little armor and the long 88 gun…hmm…this could be pretty good if it gets limited MM (I imagine it playing similarly to the FCM 50t, only smaller)

Looks like a T-50.

Impossible to implement. You would never approach a version that is historical in usage or makes sense via their damage model.

How would you implement them? Any damage on a tank is really random and you have to be very close to use them.

1000hp? Sweet! Actually, that reminds me – I’d like to see more data on some of the German gas turbine projects. They looked like they’d be fun.

Why not flamethrowers in wot? That would be kinda cool i think. mind explaining why not SS? I’m just wondering, because i think it could be a cool idea.

I think it would work out the best with the 105mm. The 88mm leaves it too similar to current vehicles, even if it is the most historically correct.

Though, a tier 6 TVP would be a hell of a fighter, wouldn’t it? You wouldn’t get into the armor balance problems the T-44-85 had, either.

This is a situation I am trying to avoid really – three similiar hulls after one another. Basically, the way it is now:

- TVP 1946 as a premium with either 88mm or 105mm (it can be “wasted” as a lowtier as well with a smaller gun, but that’s kinda complicated)

- T-50 (evolution of the tank above by Škoda) as tier 8 (boxy turret, 76,2mm and 88 or 105mm gun)
- T-51 (evolution by Praga) – more roadwheels, piked nose hull, cast turret as tier 9, 100mm guns (several models, Czech projects)
- T-50/51 (the render) – 100mm autoloaded, equivalent of the Soviet tier 10 medium guns (perhaps a bit better)

Currently, I am working on sorting all three.

I suppose in 1942, 65mm sloped armor was entirely appropriate.

I think I either didn’t see that article or dismissed it as an IS-4 render and moved on. Thank you for the link :)

That is quite a lot of work, wow. They did a nice job.

I am guessing the AM-39-P proposal is an in-line vehicle with the 10.5cm L/63,3 as a top gun option? You would lose the very unique original proposed turret shape if the TVP were implemented any other way. You are right, this is pretty difficult.

If the AM-39-P is not already an in-line vehicle, you could drop down the TVP to tier 6 with the 85mm S-53 and raise the AM-39-P to tier 8 with the 10.5cm L/63,3 for gameplay reasons–you would lose a good deal of historicality, as it’s very apparent that the 85mm S-53 was not seriously considered for very long.

In any case, multiple premiums based on roughly the same hull wouldn’t be entirely out of place–after all, America has many different vehicles based off of the M3/M4 hull, and Germany has two Panzer IV premiums and three Panther premiums.
