Allow US Tanker III Squad (66th Armor Regiment) to also operate Sherman M4A3 105mm

Currently only Tanker II squad (48th Royal Tank Regiment, UK) can use Sherman 105. Since Churchill VII is also given to Tanker II in the recent update (which is fitting IMO), why not give Tanker III (66th Armor Regiment, US) the ability operate Sherman 105? It’s one of the most popular Sherman and also Tanker III can only use one BR3 tank which is M10 GMC (which itself is bad due to Enlisted map design).

  • Yes, Tanker III squad be able to operate Sherman 105
  • No, (state your reason in the comment)

DF should just get rid of the tanker squad x can only use tank Y system entirely.

As long as all the other factions also have to follow the same rule as tanker 1 can only use BR 1-2 and tanker 2 are stuck with 3-4 it should stay that way.
Giving special exeptions to one faction just because that squad got the wrong emblem but not the rest of the factions should not be the solution.

Yes I also wanted that as well since it’s very silly but DF is kind of adamant to keep this system so I just adjust accordingly.

I just want to be able to use my Normandy squads in any BR. The Sherman was THE American tank of the war, restrictions just aren’t fun

It’s an American tank, it should be AMERICAN!

I actually voted with yes, but I think a reason why people would not want this because this change would make it very easy for legacy players to cycle 3 shermans in BR3.

However I personally see no difference between cycling 3 assaulter squads and 3 tank squads, both can be just as unfair towards other players.

I thought you could only have 1 vehicle squad anyway? Plus even with premium my understanding was you have to use infantry squad after youve lost a vehicle squad?

As for multiple Shermans I mean multiple tanks is annoying but

  1. All the time in current battles we destroy an enemy tank and then almost immediately afterwards the same guy is back with another one. So we are already dealing with this problem anyway.

  2. The Yanks had tons of Shermans, that was one of its benefits that there were so many and they could be utilised in a number of roles whereas the German tanks were overly complicated and too expensive.

No sadly, that would make far too much sense, I do support the idea of making it that you cant use 2 of the same vehicle type in a row to help prevent it. Could also be used to label Tank Destroyers as a separate vehicle type allowing them to be used directly after a tank or vice versa.

Already can. M4a2, 105, Sherman 2, easy with legacy squads and too many squad slots

If you’re pure free to play, yes, but with premium time and paid slots unlocked, you can have 6 +1 premium vehicle squad in the prem slot

*edit: as bad as just cycling three shermans is, what I used to do at br3 is worse. Too frustrated, enemy team kicking my ass, don’t want to desert? Retreat to the air, and stay there, win or lose. They really shouldn’t let us spawn as the same class of squad back to back

We need a Marine Corps armored unit that can use it.

Nope I can have like 7 vehicle squads with premium money can buy you more universal slots in your deck which is stupid but eh so you can destroy one of my tanks and I’ll just come back in another rinse and repeat till I kill you in most cases and 90% of my tank squads are stacks of the Sherman.

To solve this problem, I would implement a points system so each unit in your deck costs a certain number of points and let’s say you get 60 points to build a lineup and the equipment and soldier rank effect the units cost in points so you can have that basically an assault squad with a tank but… all those rank V Thompsons plus 5 rank V soldiers and a rank III tank will make that unit cost 20 points in total that means now you only have 40 points to put into other squads in your deck.
