As the title said, why don’t Darkflow port the Cobra King into the game as a gold order vehicle? It’s a reskin of a existing jumbo ingame. And its fits the battle of the bulge campaign theme well.

That’s for sure, that’s for dang sure!
Fun fact, the guy on top is Creighton Abrams, who would have a tank named after him. The M1 Abrams.

Famous tank tank then
Gaijin obviously has this tank in WT.
The reason that Enlisted didn’t use this tank for their game even though they have exactly the same premium tank, is because they ahistorically chucked it into the Normandy campaign, and whoever created the vehicle obviously felt bad enough about basterdising history to the point where they just made the tank generic.
Now that we actually have an Ardennes (set of maps previously known as a Campaign) they will probably add it in as a 1200g skin for the existing Jumbo in your tech tree.
Never underestimate Gaijin’s abilities to part nostalgic fools with their hard earned !
For what reason exactly? Completely fictional camo from polish TV series.
Plus the polish T-34 itself is post war variant.
“This fictional T-34-85 tank, identified as Number 102 of the 1st Tank Brigade of the Polish Army, was featured in the Polish TV series “Four Tank-Men and a Dog.” In reality, T-34-85s were produced in Poland in the 1950s at the Bumar Labedy plant in Gliwice. The Polish variant was slightly modified from the Soviet tank of the late-war period.”
I think you completely missed the point.
The fact that the fictional series was based on actual events doesn’t detract them from including it, plenty of other fictional stuff in the game. The series was very popular and many ppl bought either the WoT version of it or the skin for WT.
The comments or citing , not sure what it is that you’ve posted there, about the T34-85 variant used in the series being a post war model is irrelevant and nonsensical. Its a TV series made after the war, the Tigers used in the series aren’t real either but that’s not the point its just represenative.
In reality the variants used by the 1st Tk Bde of the PA would have been whatever the Soviets issued to them, most likely T-34-85 DT initially. From memory they go through a couple of tanks in the series anyway so by the time they’re storming Berlin, they’d be in the T-34-85 of the latest variant available.
No, as far as I know the story/plot of the series is based on book, not reality.
Meaning, there’s no historical “rudy camo” for T-34. Because this “camo” was created based on fictional book for polish TV series.
And real t-34/85 that was used in series is post war variant made in Poland.
Correct me if I am wrong. But I always thought it’s pure fiction.
I think you’re not reading what I’m writing… I acknowledge English is not my first language but… let me try again.
The series is completely fictional, BUT it meant to be an abstraction of the “battle trail” of the 1st TK Brigade from its inception, the first fights in what is now Ukraine and the campaign all the way up to Berlin. There are tons of old Soviet or even newer Russian movies that are completely fictional from the storyline/plot perspective but are nested in a historical context that was real.
Did the 1st TK Bde even have a 102 designator - don’t know, but we do know that they existed and fought their way across Eastern Europe to Germany during WWII. In some respect the movie pays homage to the Polish/Soviet forces who contributed to the liberation of Poland. Was it propagandised ? For sure, but it was done well so the series was popular from what I read/hear and remember of it from watching it many years ago when it was first referred to me.
But that’s not what he wants. He do not want just some camo of 1st TK Brigade T-34/85.
He wants GO camo of T-34/85 rudy which is completely fictional.
As you can see, it has specific “RUDY” inscription. That’s complete fiction made for TV series as far as I know.
Am I wrong?
No you are 100% correct !
It is a fictional “skin”, BUT it comes from a WWII movie that tries to stay true to the weapons used, all be it utilising well adapted substitutes for some vehicles that the TV series makers didn’t have, and it is loosely based on real life events of a real tank brigade.
As far as “skins” for vehicles go, that one is relatively innocuous to include as a paid option for those who were fans of the series, and its certainly not immersion breaking, because the tank markings are consistent with what those tanks would have.

Yeah, I guess you aren’t. I have no clue why I was so pedant about it. My bad.
