Trying this again, but simpler. Add a 761st Sherman or stuart that is slower but better armored and that has an African American crew?

  • As an event squad
  • As a premium squad
  • No squad added

You know, you could’ve probably gone into more depth about the 761st, and maybe also propose an possibly tank for them. Maybe something similar to the red tail squad?

My apologies, this was a repost from a failed post earlier titled African American and Black Brit Soldiers

The 761st were the first African American unit in combat in WW2. They were also very, very good as tankers. They were known also for defeating the Sherman’s thin armor weakness by welding additional armor on taken off non operational vehicles.

B2 in Iran-live posted that image in the prior chat, but the poll in that chat was being uncooperative and I’m newish to all of this…

M4A3 standard issue being locked to an event squad?

It saddens me a bit that about 30% voted they literally

Don’t want a new squad…

And let’s be honest, we know why they voted no… humanity is dumb.

They’re lucky that it isn’t public

So historically this unit added armor in “yard car” fashion anywhere and everyway they could. They spent a ridiculous amount of unbroken time on the front. They were also known for executing beautiful flanking operations and very effective use of speed ( mobility) and MG’s in support of dismounted Soldiers.

Alright, so stick with the original proposal of an M4A# armored for this squad, but add an unarmored to the TT on the side

I think this would work best

I would very much enjoy A TT M4A3, I also want A “come out fighting” squad. I think if they needed a way to differentiate between the 2, they could do cosmetics, or add armor to the non TT version. If they took the 2nd option, the could put it one BR higher if they put on enough to create that major a difference
