Not “or” please, UK/Commonwealth needs more tanks, I’ll happily leave the Challenger as a Premium just so we can get the iconic stuff in the tech tree.
Please, no more iconic Matilda II or Firefly cases.

Since they put the Firefly behind paywall hope they put this one in TT.
Yes please !
Also given that the Challenger had very limited production run (200 vs 1000+ Comet) I guess we could have Comet in the TT and Challenger as an event.
Though Comet APDS is kinda bad… and knowing that Firefly is somehow BR5 I guess it will eventually end up at this BR as well…

This is much more reasonable.
Both should be BR4.
They should correct it once they add the other Firefly variant to TT.
