eh…
a jumbo does not have logic that much…
More than his cause it can’t be killed by basically everything minus 3N (reasonably at least) and cause i guess they wanted to give something to the Americans that can take punishment cause of the D-DAY map
but to open breach in d-day. people relays on airplanes. that’s how they push.
it’s like giving a tiger in moscow to push their way up.
it’s not logical, and not historical accurate.

by this logic, than germans should have panthers.
and that’s something you would like to avoid.
The jumbo arrived in normandy in late august early september by that time allies had already broken trough. but overall i don’t mind seeing it in game.
i’m more annoyed by the chaffee…
not historically accurate and again i don’t agree with it but i get their thinking as for the way tpo piush nah it highly depends on the team also tiger in moscow? really?
sorry, i was meaning, maus over berlin.
that wouldn’t make any sense. but could be used as exscuse since the GE are loosing over there.
again, it does not make any sense. those are just exscuses over things that shouldn’t belong there.
time travelers are now ok?.
pathethic.
Comparing Maus in berlin with an uparmored sherman most people didn’t even realise that it wasn’t at normandy and ignoring pressummably the reason it was done is the D-day map
You are comparing apples with oranges as i said before i don’t agree with it but i do see the logic cause there’s some arguments you can use about having it balance wise and it’s “invinsibility” i blown way out of proportion, i only respect the historical argument for it the rest is just German main asshurt

i’m only going to butt in on this, since it’s not a fair comparison since jumbo is an assault tank so it only needed heavy frontal armor with sides of the hull being quite weak while tiger or maus are true heavy tanks so they are heavily armored all around
Having the Jumbo and running through the upgrade process… I have no idea why they put this in Normandy now. Sure, if this campaign is going to go further inland and we’re looking at Panthers and a much longer campaign; but, now?
I don’t understand why… Same with the Chaffee.
you seems not getting the main issue.
according to the logic of using equipment of the year ( “announced” said by keofox ).
we end up watching things that shouldn’t be there. ( which breaks the already thin balance of tanks to tanks engagement )
happens to the jumbo in this case to be powerfull than all the german tanks.
and by the way,
just because it has weak side armor, it doesn’t make it any less stronger.
there are many issues coming with it, and it’s presence it’s unfortunately unjustfied.
but looks like the devs are willing to add non-sense content that wasn’t even supposed to be used during those campaings. example are the M24, Jumbo, T50, BA-11 and the PZ III B. none of those should be present where they currently are.
i can’t do nothing but express my disappointment.

oh yeah i know, but i’m just saying that comparing an assault tank to a heavy tank might not be fair. i would rather have 105 sherman be at level 20 than jumbo at level 20
i know this might not be related, but the things that worries me the most are,
let’s say at one point, the whole campaign progression gets rewamped ( because at some point this will happens ). what will happens to those british weapons? from what i readed, the majority of ally players do not like them considering that they are playing as americans, not british forces.
and just like you said, the 105sherms might arrive for level 20 and the jumbo will arrive arrive at ( example ) level 25/30.
what will happens? it will be removed from players?
because one thing that i’ll never forget, is that pilots and tankers that were older could not obtain the newer perks that were introduced.
so apparentlly, they don’t have a system that can replace, remove or change things that players currently already have/owns.
which it’s more problematic that it might sounds like.
because than i suspect that it’s just going to be a messy grindy line up that doesn’t make sense.
at some point, armored vehicles will be introduced. but for someone to use them, will be forced to grind all their way up just to get those simple vehicles that should be availabe in the first 10 levels?

i don’t know, but for one i would rather the squads you get from the british weapons to be british squads so that way it doesn’t remove it, though one thing they could do is make the people who got the jumbo at level 20 to be made into a premium squad with a new squad to replace. but this is all just speculation of what they could do
they will probs just switch the sten with some other version of the thompson, so i dont think stuff will be difficult to change, right?
er… wrong.
again, over the course of the years, the only way they could change things that people owned, was through wipes.
somethings that are not going to occour based on what keofox and others said.
but still, they never managed to change what people already have.
i really hope things are going to change but…
how is that wrong? they just take all the stens, and copy paste them into thompsons. why would that be difficult to do?
( looks like )
Another option would be to allow people to keep the stens that they already have, but replace it in the campaign tree with the M1 Thompson with a 20 round magazine.
Similarly, it might be possible to do with the Jumbo to replace it with a 76mm Sherman, possibly?
It’s how I’d go about it.

that would sound great.
exept, they don’t give you anything for free unless you grinded for it.
and the jumbo looks like it ain’t going away. not now, not even at the death of this game…
but i’m sure those shermans 75 and 20 mag thomps at level 30/35 
will be there waiting for you desptie having unlocked something better previously.
