Add the AEC 6pdr armored car as an event / TT / Premium ( BR II / III )

greetings, today i come with a very simple suggestion.

and that is,

Main Suggestion

add the AEC armored car to the US Tech tree or as an event.
( the uk_aec_mk_2_57mm_6pdr_common )

the AEC is a 4 seater armored car with a 57mm, a 7.92 besa machinegun.
so to speak, an upgrade from the Daimler Armored car on all fronts.

History:

( well, ugh… i’m not sure how many actually cares about the history of the vehicle, but there you go )

in game Loadout:
x30 APC
x30 AP
225/3150 rounds for the coax
18 smoke grenades

an ideal armored car with a relatively good main weapon to be similar to the puma and BA-11

Why ?

well, for starter, it’s fully functional, with no errors or red text appearing.
and has been already in the editor for nearly 3 years.

second, i think it would really improve the low br US tanks with the trade for a good weapon and the expenses of armor.

but, it could be placed as an event vehicle, or … " worse " case scenario, a premium vehicle as well.
( which leads me to believe this vehicle was planned to be a premium, but never introduced because there are already “better” premium vehicles at the same br. and worse, unfortunately, this vehicle due to being an armored car, not many people will chose this over a crusaders, or m3s ).

hence, i think it’s introduction would be a nice sidegrade for those who wish to use something different.

and… that’s a bout it.

for those who are interested, it can be played in this mod here by totem:

No HE rounds :sob:

according to war thunder wiki. ( AEC Mk II - War Thunder Wiki ) the MK II can have HE:

however, the enlisted loadout has apc & ap.

I really hope it has HE otherwise kinda a let down. On console tanks are much different then PC. They are the same in that everything under 57mm sucks at HE but due to lack of buttons both cannons fire on Lee and Grant which is very awkward. Having another low tier anti infantry capable vehicle would be great. It’s another glass cannon like the Crusader! Especially since Germany has multiple short barrel 75mm
