the M15 CGMC would be a great alternative at br1 able to deal with enemy tanks and be killed by them. In fact Both the CGMC and special remind me or a certain japanese tank.

like a certian German apc this would fit well into the game as neither being used as a tank nor APC.

The Freakiest Anti-Aircraft Half-Tracks - T1E3 half track. T68 half-track. T54 gun at vertical. M2 Elco Quad 20mm - Ground - War Thunder — official forum T10 Oerlikon half-track. WT Live // Images by fighter_spirit

I like the idea but then they would wind up being a Premium squad like the rest. It still irks me that the German halftrack is p Premium as it was a staple to the German army. I get why devs did that though since there isn’t a cap on APCs on the field like tanks. An organized team could spawn 2 tanks then a bunch of those and roll over objectives…ironically like the Blitzkrieg in Poland.

These halftracks are not and should not be APCs. I can understand wanting to divide vehicles into different classes such as support vehicles and maybe in the future, but they are not transport vehicles

For the foreseeable future they would just be ā€œtanksā€

not all of them i just meant these two to give them one like the german one

The 251/9 should not have been made into an APC in the first place, otherwise we might as well make all vehicles APCs

Now you are being ridiculous, it lacks armor, a turret it’s open topped, has limited gun traversal, now you might have an argument for the limited number of tanks in game that fit that description completely, which if that’s an m4 fits none of that, also infantry must be carried internally, the251 is limited to ,4 soldiers.

First, the ā€œtankā€ slot covers multiple vehicle types. Actual tanks, tank destroyers, self propelled artillery, anti-air, flamethrowers, etc

Second, my point is that the 251/9 and other specialized halftracks no longer explicitly ferried infantry squads so it shouldn’t be an APC.

Even if vehicles were diversified and overhauled in the future and halftracks would be separeted from actual tanks, these halftracks still would not be APCs because they were not explicit transport vehicles. They would just be in some side support slot

yes
no, as that can rotate, it would be an apc it only able to shoot forward thus having to turn the entire vehicle then yes apc did you not read the rules the 253 abides
no, again it one has more than one main weapon and two their arc of fire is 180 degrees and thus not limited
yes, no armor, no turret, limited arc of fire open top
i know you think you are being funny but you cant just break the rules that 253 applies
you should have pointed the spg we got last event
both have a big gun, open top, no armor and limit arc of fire you suck at this

also i dont want to add more vehicles slots thus vehicles unless they add more infantry slots, the infantry squad to vehicle ratio must be maintained this is not wathunder infantry is not to farmed for points. If you want all vehicles play warthunder

I said the colloquial ā€œtank slotā€ covers multiple vehicle types. I’m not saying halftracks are tanks

I agree that’s why I want them to move the 251/9 to ā€œtankā€ and all similar halftracks put there too, like the Panzerwerfer. With just 2 vehicle slots I don’t think it’s that big of a deal what you’re bringing. Tank, tank destroyer, artillery, tank destroyer or artillery that happens to be mounted on a halftrack, etc

Rider and APC are more of an infantry squad

I disagree I do want all vehicles from Warthunder (WW2) and then some

i mean if you want more then 2 vehicles that are not
apcs, bikes, trucks or jeeps
that is vehicles that would have to be included as tanks unless they increase the number of infantry squads without making it unable to run on last gen consoles and pcs it can currently run on
armored cars, spgs, spaag, tank destroyers, tanks,

the 251/9 would have to go to br2 as a ā€˜tank’
because as a br3 tank it would be useless and people would demand compensation

the problem is people wasting one of two vehicle slots
or putting all of them at a br that does not fit
that is a lot of armored cars and spgs would be br2 against tanks
but might be br3 or 4 against infantry

i meant all vehicles as more than 2 per team playing at once, sorry it was me projecting some people want new vehicles classes for more vehicle slots
