Commonwealth day

Commonwealth Day is the annual celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations, held on the second Monday in March. While the date holds some official status in select member states of the Commonwealth, observances of the date are not uniform across the Commonwealth, and the date is not celebrated as a public holiday in most Commonwealth countries

The event traces its origins to Empire Day, an event initially conceived to celebrate the British Empire. It was originally observed on Queen Victoria’s birthdate, May 24th, or the last weekday before it. In the latter half of the 20th century, the celebration’s focus shifted towards emphasising the modern Commonwealth of Nations, with the event being renamed Commonwealth Day in 1958, and its date moved to the second Monday in March in 1977

Well yes but :

We already have a tempest which is a premium at BR5 and considered by many as the best fighter in the game. So I would suggest instead a Typhoon at BR3 or 4.

I love the Cromwell and I want it in the game but that thing should be BR3. It is more or less a british equivalent to the sherman (it has almost the same gun but with solid shot only so no APHE)

All in all I want more stuff for the commonwealth in the game.

The premium tempest is the mk5 I’m suggesting the MK2 I forgot to write it

The armour sadly as how Enlisted work make him get an additional BR level so br4

Add those in the list:

The skink might be fun as well. Thought a lot stronger:

Instead of the Tempest, already a premium, it would be better to add the Typhoon instead (a Tempest earlier version) in TT

a squad of Canadian with Thompson without stock could be interesting

But I bet our forum Canadian @Conscript_Joe would prefere a squad armed with made in Canada stuff

Like the pre war version of the Ross rifle for the purist

Or the xp54 for the prototype lover, 1940 prototype Smg tested in 1947 and rejected because of the sterling

I certainly wouldn’t oppose Canadians to be included in game, other than a few vehicles cosmetics.

But honestly, Commonwealth day would truly be an interesting event, as it includes MANY countries that fought togheter in ww2.

We’ve already seen our fair share of Soviets, united staters, some axis and a very few Japanese events. Commonwealth would be great, I think many here would like receiving some squads and/or vehicles of Commonwealth forces.

Well, I see. However, the Tempest Mk 2 is actually better than the mk 5 we have in game. The Mk2 has a Centaurus engine that is more powerful than the Napier Sabre. The Mk2 was supposed to be the basic version of the Tempest, but trouble with the engine made it that they had to use the same engine as the previous Typhoon and build the Mk5 instead.

How so ? Panzer IV G and J have 80mm of armor with a better gun at BR3. Cromwell armor is completly flat while M4A2 has 63mm of slopped armor on the front.

In war Thunder, Cromwell’s BR is 3.3 while M4A2 has 4.0 and Pz IV J has 3.7

I know that War thunder is not Enlisted but the Cromwell has nothing to do at BR4 in the game.

Because this Cromwell who isn’t in warthunder has 76mm of frontal armour on the turrets so I think this is BR4 material because Is more similar as counterpart of the German Pz4 H

:thinking:

Consider the pz3M. Got 70 or so thanks to spaced armour. Explode like nothing anyway and is br 2

Honestly all tank explode like nothing, but the BR is more a mix of multiple stuff, and is an incorrect science for me, at least regarding vehicles

For Cromwell and his armor, 3 br is an absolute ceiling. 1 and 5 Cromwell is generally the level of 2 br.

For 75mm.

57mm.

I see, sorry I did not check the version of the cromwell you choose.

But in that case, I would definitly prefer the mk 5 from war thunder to be added instead. I want the cromwell to be in the game but I surely won’t be using it if it’s BR4.

Also, this is my opinion but … I don’t think one second that this panzer should stay at BR4

As I typed up

War thunder took a decade to have a decent BR, Enlisted is still young
