(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/cd/d8/04/cdd804fd1b5aa3d3558e8bfbd8af68ad.jpg). Maybe i missed it but is everyone sleeping on the A33 Excelsior. It seems like a great medium tank that would fit at BR3 alongside the M4 Shermans. If i am missing something like a tank nearly identical to the A33 already in the game or suggested bonk me on the head. British faction again+proposed tech tree

Wouldn’t just letting you know be better…?

but how will i learn, was a British experimental heavy tank based on the Cromwell (A27). If the Cromwell were to be added, what German armored vehicle could be a good counterpart to it? - #2 by Myrm1don (If thats what you mean)

otherwise i cant think of any tank that would be too close even then the Excelsior is just a better version of the Cromwell with more armor that fits better at br3 while the cromwell falls between br3 and br3

I mean, it would be great to have, however, that would give the allies a KV-1 equal which is a bit unfair to germany.

I was thinking about this more, a captured KV-1 could fit here, not the 1E captured by the fins or the upgunned german one since those are both a bit too powerful for BR3.

But a bog standard KV-1, maybe the KV-1S. Since many were captured by the germans, that or the German conversion of the T-34 seem like legit ideas.

The Ordnance QF 75 mm , abbreviated to OQF 75 mm, was a British tank gun of the Second World War. It was obtained by boring out the Ordnance QF 6-pounder (“6 pdr”) 57 mm anti-tank gun to 75 mm, to give better performance against infantry targets similarly to the 75 mm M3 gun fitted to the American Sherman tank. The QF came from “quick-firing”, referring to the use of ammunition where the shell has a fixed cartridge. The gun was also sometimes known as ROQF from R oyal O rdnance (the manufacturer) Q uick-F iring.

armor wise yes but gun wise its a sherman.
