Pretty simple here. They are the same exact tank. There are zero stat differences between the 2 tanks. It’s just tech tree bloat that could be easily fixed by combining them together. I can see no reason why this shouldn’t be done. If you can think of any, by all means please tell me.
Should the M4A1 and Sherman II be combined?
Like in the same folder in the TT?
Like into the same tank. One is removed but not really because you still have the same exact tank but not 2 of them.
Just one is the British designation and one is the American designation, If one isn’t already foldered (it is just checked) then it should be but I don’t think removing is necessarily the right choice. I think or would at least hope that one one is playable by the British squad (Sherman 2) and the M4 a1 playable by the American squad (It’s not also checked). Importantly the two tanks would/should have different camo schemes available to them which is a point to consider.
(edit) Both tanks are only available to the British squad so that’s a problem.
Important to note that the M4a1 has American paint schemes available to it which is good but it’s playable through the 48th Royal Tank regiment (UK)???
The Sherman II is good where it is and it has British schemes available to it. 
Make the Sherman M4a1 playable through either or both the 4th Tank Regiment (USA) and or 66th Armor Regiment (USA).
Then no, they should remain separate tanks
They’re not the “exact same” tank, they have different armor layouts and still are distinct enough to be separate, I would rather put the M4A1 as a alternative to the Sherman 2 like the two Panzer 3s with the same weapons but different armor
Also i believe there’s the legacy tank squad that can only use Sherman II but not other shermans, so this would complicate things.
No, no they dont. I have no clue where you are getteing your info from but the Sherman II is just a lend lease M4A1. They a literly the exact same tank. Check your info before posting please.
Fine, since you dont like my idea what ideas do you have to prevent players having to research the same tank twice. Theres not a thing that allows you to unlock 2 things at once is there?
I got it from the armor view in enlisted
There must be something wrong with it then because that shouldnt be posible.
Image I found with the tabby thing
See the little grey tab, if you click on a tab that with it, it gives you two options, the first tank or second tank.
What could easily be done:
Make the M1A1 a alternate tank to the M2 Sherman in a tabby like the Panzer 3 or something
No, thats how it already is. Its called being foldered. You still have to research them both.
No? I never needed to research the second one to progress
Yes, but you still need to research them both.
I never needed to research the second one, it just let me progress
Yes, I know. Thats not what im complaining about. I am complaining about how you have 2 diffrent tanks that are the same tank.
i choose no, sherman II its a legacy tunisia tank, for ppl who have more slots they can use both tanks
I found this post showing that there is differences, even if they’re just some minor differences to show distinctive qualities.
What’s the difference between keeping the m4a1 foldered where you don’t have to research it, and getting rid of the m4a1 so you don’t have to research it? There are definitely pros to having it foldered over getting rid of it. So it makes sense to keep it as is. Sorry bud, you’re just not going to get much traction with this one
