Dear World of Tanks....

Just a suggestion I would like to make......
With talk about the Brittish tech tree spreading quickly throughout WoT players, there have been rumours that this future update may become a "Commonwealth" tech tree, including tanks from Australia and Canada. The thing is though, no one has mentioned the possible inclusion of New Zealand tanks. New Zealand built three tanks during the war and, as a New Zealander myself, I would very much like to see these tanks make an appearance in the game.
So, can you please please PLEASE consider adding New Zealands Schofield and the Schofield 2 tanks???
(and possibly the Bob Semple?)

These tanks were built out of the need to defend New Zealand as Brittain was unable to supply us with tanks. Also, the Schofield 2 sparked interest in the Brittish medical corps as a high mobility ambulance and also left an immpression on the Brittish Air Force as a light tank that could be deployed by aircraft so I think these things deserve to get recognised by WoT.

As part of my little quest to raise knowledge about NZ tanks, here are some topics I made earlier: Kiwi Creations and The Bob Semple strikes back!

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing every tank of the period enter the game. The New Zealand tanks would be a fun addition, but the second one appears to be carrying machine guns rather than a main gun, so might not work unless historically they added an anti-armor gun.

Actually, the prototype in the picture hadn't yet been equiped with a gun for its test trials. Its just that the guy who drew the diagram thingy decided to add machine guns on it instead of the 40mm that was intended for it.

Preview of WoT post 7.8:
"Devs need to NERF these stupid OP New Zealand tanks now! I keep gettin' killed by Schofields all day and you can't even pen the sides cuz those stupid tires bounce everything! So sick of the devs and their Kiwi bias!"
But seriously, I'd love to see these in game at some point, either as part of the Commonwealth tree or the rumored 'Miscellaneous Combatants' tree. I like how they're continuing to flesh out the tech trees of nations already in game, but I really can't wait for when the Brits and others finally make their appearance in game.

Not from NZ, but I do love the way they look. I think they would make good tier 1/2 tanks, or tier 2 premiums.

Sorry but I have to ask, what are the rubber wheels doing there in the first tank? Additional armor?

The Schofields were able to run on wheels or tracks the Mk 2 could change from wheels to tracks without the crew getting out the Mk 1 required the crew to get out and fit the wheels.
The Mk 1 was only armed with machine guns, after trials it was found to be wanting so was redesigned to become the Mk 2 which had a 2pdr and BESA machinegun.
