T-26 "Tanker" (M1E5 with standard stock)






would be cool for a premium tank or APC squad

Those were never supposed to be issued to tankers, that idea came from post war advertisements to sell similar models to civilians. Garands were never supposed to be issued to Tank crews since the Grease Gun basically fixed every issue the tank crews had with the Thompsons.

oh good lord, every single german soldier at br5 has an FG42

I just don’t see the point in a tanker exclusive Garand, especially since we have the M1E5 which is functionally the same thing but tankers can’t equip it. There are better choices for US weapons so this should be at the very bottom of the list.

Tankers can absolutely equip the M1E5…

Huh, didn’t know that. We absolutely don’t need this then, a reskin of an M1E5 is something that would be completely worthless.

It wouldn’t, since M1E5 is limited to only 4 pieces. And as you can see, some tank crews have more than 4 crew members.

That’s why I am currently using the M2A1 carbine for my commander.

But this would either be a Gold Order or a Premium squad since it is in effect another prototype that doesn’t fill any balance requirements, so it would be pointless. Reskinning an old gold order gun is a waste of everyone’s time, and takes up spots from other gold orders that are unique.

Literally nobody was speaking of balancenas far as I know. It’s just nice thing to have.

But if it’s going to be premium squad weapon, it would be just wasted potential. Just like with m1a1 carbine.

This is functionally just a Garand with a gimmick, it serves zero purpose in the tech tree and has no possible match for any of the other countries. Combined with the factors pertaining to this weapons development, and there is no way this would not be a premium or gold order weapon.

I have no clue what are you aiming to achieve tbh. Plus I personally believe it should be GO.

I don’t want it to be a gold order because then the US wastes 2 gold order spots on functionally the same weapon when it could have gotten something more unique.

Like what? This rifle would be still more unique than 2 last GOs that US got.

I would take rechambered Owen and FM 24/29 over a literal repeat of a previous gold order. They may be shit, but they arn’t completely copy paste. We don’t need another Type Hei late situation.

Thats a lot of friends

I play a lot with the enlisted Twitch community … it just kindof happens if you do it long enough.
