I would love to see this as an April fools event skin for the t-34 tank. The bucket on the t34 tank to make the tank look like a bigger scarier tank. maybe add a few white stripes on the side for a kill count. No red bucket we do not need rudelpha the red nosed Russian. A very smagelka thing to do making a medium tank look like a heavy gun tank. (sorry if i spelled any Russian words i am a lowly American are version of that is just use more duct tape)
Wouldn’t the bucket fly off when the gun is fired?
Make this the default for the pre merge users
The video is broken, can’t watch it anymore. I think what you’re referring to is how during WWII, T-34/85 crews often placed water buckets on their gun barrels to mimic the appearance of an IS-2, hoping to fool enemy tank crews into retreating from a distance based on silhouette alone.
Ah, but this is Enlisted we’re talking about. If we’re going to implement something like this, it should be done properly — not just a bucket, but other visual elements too, so that even at close range in-game it can convincingly resemble an IS-2. Besides, I think making this into a cosmetic skin would be really fun. After all, in terms of being purely cosmetic — like the two recent DF skins (the Sherman and M41 with track armor draped over them) — they offer zero actual armor equivalence. They’re even less useful than Soviet plate armor
This thing is essentially just a “bluff” skin — meant to intimidate the enemy and make them back off without a fight. A classic case of “subduing the enemy without fighting.”
