Weapons and vehicles of the "Hidden Threat" update

@Lookin4n8Bal-live

And you wanted this why? it won’t help with the idiotic fire rate.

Variety. Nothing wrong with that

[OggeKing]

A up armoured Crusader, alone, is not BR III worthy…

It’d need APCBC to reliably deal with German BR IV tanks, whenever it’s uptiered.

British tanks have no HE-filler, compensation has to come in some form… Pure penetrative ability is usually how that’s acomplished.

@Euthymia07-live

The mags are different so they dont share ammo

Thank you very much for your answer!
Awesome, this makes it a really good addition to Soviets.

[FG_42_II]

why the names ffs

[CC_Cody]

Sure. My bad. Pls keep bringing sturmpanzer II to BR5. Your teammates all appreciate your contribution to the battle. Can u pls also bring pz1 flame tank and bolt action sniper to BR5 next time? Thanks very much. Oh, don’t forget to bring pz3n too. Its he spam is so effective, still no matched at BR5!

[wlnecro1]

I mean I get typically 70+ kills with sturmpanzer per life at br 5 but sure

[Valkay]

I agree, the Cromwell mk.I should get Shot mk.IX APCBC, the ~100-108mm pen of AP shells wont cut it against a Panther or Tiger I H1 when uptiered against BR4.

[GeneralBrus]

@Comet92220

What ammunition will the Cromwell get ?

Solid AP like the Crusader or will it get the improved APCBC ?

@Euthymia07-live

AP
But as usual it can change based on feedback

You need to buff solid AP projectiles without HE filler - this matters more than anything else

It is laughable that a full size anti tank gun could deal less damage than a hand held AT launcher.

[FG_42_II]

HEY, I HAVE AN IDEA.

WHY dont we bring back the GO store?

[Valkay]

oh no I can not take stalinridingfemboyführerpenis as a username, what a tragedy!

[wlnecro1]

It should be br 2 potentially. Doing a deeper dive on stats rn to see.

[Veekay45]

Why are we only getting 1 TT weapon (magazine in fact) and 4 vehicles to the game when this is already available in the game/WT to be ported:

@OggeKing

Lewis Mk I* - A Lewis Gun for the Tech Tree

@Dregomz

It’s been sitting in game files for so long while Germany has not a single TT smg at BR5.

It’s fully working and should be added right now, not as premium not as a gold order, not as event but as a new TT weapon.

@Veekay45

• Sd.Kfz 222
  
  Extensively used in WW2, can be on BR1-2 and subfolder of Autoblinda.
• Staghound

@Veekay45

• ISU-122 with ISU-152 as subfolder
  
  
  Late war kitty-hunters, BR 4-5, kind of useless in our 100 m x 100 m maps but cool af.
• M3 Halftrack for the US faction
  
  Maybe without the MGs yet more armored than Studebaker but come on, they made the vehicle, they deserve to have it.
  (Maybe one for USSR as well for research tree)
• Sd.Kfz 251
  
  Maybe without the MG yet safer than Sd.Kfz 7, but it’s too damn classic to be premium only. Needs to be in the research tree.
• Hetzer

BR4 minimum, as it should never appear in early war (1944 onwards), but could be a nimble mobile option instead of Pz IV / Panther.

• Sd.Kfz 251/21 AA
  
  Sort of German counterpart to M13 MGMC but late war, so actually needs to go to BR4 or not appear at all, since Germany already has Flakpanzer I but it’s an event vehicle
  USSR can get the quad Maxim Gaz but it also has the Gaz 72K as event AA truck.
  This light AA situation is tricky. And maybe better not touched at all.
• *Maybe, or maybe not needed at all:
  Ostwind and Wirbelwind for Germany
  
  
  
  
  Sherman Skink for USA
  

@Veekay45

Valentine

C) Archer (reversed Valentine with 17-pounder

E) Matilda II (non-premium version again, yes)

@Veekay45

M4A3 variant – straight glassis plate, no side skirts, also the most numerous and the preferred US Army vehicle. Yet it is not available in Enlisted (only with the 105).
I think it can be foldered under the M4A2 unlock.

@Veekay45

M4A3E8 “Easy Eight” variant – same chassis but with HVSS suspension and a new turret with big cannon.
I think it can be foldered under the M4A3E2 (76) unlock.

@Veekay45

VC Firefly (M4A4 hull) in the tech tree.
I think it can be foldered under the M4A2 (76) unlock.

@Veekay45

end-Lease Sherman M4A2 (75 mm) for USSR.
About 4000 M4A2 Sherman tanks were delivered to the USSR during WW2, surpassing any other lend-lease tank numbers, and was generally well-regarded and praised by Soviet tankers.
I think it can be either an event vehicle or tech tree.

@Veekay45

Churchill Mk IV for BR3 tech tree?

@Veekay45

American A-20B Havoc.

With about 1000 made, the A-20B was the backbone of American light bombing during the Tunisian Campaign (1942–1943).

Not to mention:

• French faction
• British faction
• Italian faction
• Finnish, Romanian, Hungarian, Polish forces

And all their maps, uniforms, vehicles and WW2 swag

[CC_Cody]

Wow, can you provide screenshots? 70+ kills per life. You are better than every single KT and m26/t99 user in game!

[Valkay]

I wouldt be against that, but Cromwell on BR2 would justify Panzer III N on BR2 as well. Keep that mind.

[wlnecro1]

Sure remind me Sunday and I’ll be happy to

[wlnecro1]

Yeah it would prob need a nerfed reload to justify br 2.

[传说巨神伊迪安]

Haha, it’d be great if this Japanese tank could get a proper gun shield.
It has powerful firepower, but it can easily be taken out by machine-gun fire.
That means it definitely can’t go to the front line—otherwise it’s just free kills.
It’d be nice if they could add a physical visual customization for it too.

[CC_Cody]

Sure. Let us learn from the best tanker in existence.

[wlnecro1]

Not the best one. Just have a brain which ig makes me stand out from most enlisted players

[CaptainSebekel]

I like the vehicles, but one gun is meh, especially since its a filler.
