Weapons and vehicles of the "Hidden Threat" update

[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.

[OggeKing]

Indeed, too good as a tech tree item in BR II.

Without APCBC and as a Premium it could have worked, though… Panzer III M, anyone…?

[传说巨神伊迪安]

Wow, Britain used to be so underrepresented.
Most of their equipment was just split between the Soviets and the Americans.

Especially the Soviets — they got things like the Lewis gun and the useless Valentine tank.
The Matilda, which was a mass‑produced mainstay, was even locked behind a paywall.

I really hope Britain gets more love and more presence in the future.

@Valkay

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

Cromwell is rather well armored and “probably still fast”

Its just that tank damage needs an overhaul.

[wlnecro1]

Speed doesn’t mean much without a good reverse.

[Siddhartha2]

And again no planes for Japan in tear 1 and 3.

There were at least 15 variants of A6M Zero and we got 1 in tech tree… nice.
Just saying

[GeneralBrus]

@Siddhartha2

There were at least 15 variants of A6M Zero and we got 1 in tech tree… nice.

Hm guess before that, we’ll get more Thompsons instead.

[UA_MARKSE_KZK]

Why is the Cromwell tank included in the 3rd Battle Rating? The 6-pounder gun has a caliber of 57 mm. What’s it doing there in the 3rd BR? 2nd BR

[GeneralBrus]

Well since solid AP deals pathetic damage - we might consider it a BR1 gun actually.

So BR3 armor + BR1 gun …

Doesn’t look good.

[UA_MARKSE_KZK]

[wlnecro1]

Definitely a br 2 gun. Has 4 second reload. The armor is br 2/3 tho
