Well, I'm actually not sure if this thing is supposed to be a TD or an SPG, but It looks fair game for a post either way. From what I gather it's a 3-inch M1918 gun (same as the T40 and T57) on the chassis of an M2 Cletrac tractor.

I'd like to see what you guys think of this, and if you think maybe it could go in game at all. (Tier 3 preemie maybe?) If I find many more US td designs I think there would be enough for a 3rd line xP.

French premium vehicles added:

10.5 сm leFH18 B2 as a tier 4 SPG.

Yeah, I heard about that. I think this T1 thing could be the T57s premium cousin.

What I don't get is why are these going to be French tanks? If anything they are German guns and German designs on a captured french Chassis! Is it because of the Chassis that they are French? The French never would've built these two, they are really just a product of German need and compromise....all the other French tanks in game a pretty much French, why are these being added?

The same could be said for the UK tanks, why are they not in game? Or rather why are they in game as primarily Russian, where they weren't even built...it was all lend lease, making them still british!

I some times wonder at Wargamer and their need for 'paper' tanks...

Because all the lend lease British tanks to the USSR was refitted to use Soviet guns. The British tanks are being added sometime this year I believe.Maybe early next year. And to the Frenchies u mentioned....its most likely because the Germans refitted new guns on captured tanks. Just change them back and tad aah, Frenchie.

PS:Did you know the Germans refitted a T-34 tank with a 88mm? If you don't believe me, its ok because it has only been designed at the time. No tank was ever made.
