Germany’s vehicles are really good too. It’s a shame the StuG II got moved to BR3.
That Bison you mentioned, I remember they just mounted a full 150mm howitzer—wheels and all still attached—straight onto either a Panzer II or 38t chassis, then put up a huge steel shield on it. It’s basically just a self-propelled artillery piece.
It’s even more of an open-top design than the StuG II, almost like an upgraded, enhanced version of the Marder.
The armored, well-protected KV-2 went to BR3. By comparison, this one has next to no armor, practically no protection, plus sluggish handling. It definitely belongs at BR2!
Honestly, almost all German ground vehicles are already in the game, aircraft aside. Meanwhile, there are way fewer Soviet vehicles added.
Still, I’d be happy enough if they just gave us an event vehicle version of the SMK, with armor a bit weaker than the fully upgraded KV-1.
As for Japan… they just have way too few vehicles overall. I really hope they don’t end up dragging other nations down just because they run out of new content to release in the future.
