Doesn't sound very mechanically reliable :v:
I can see why the MoD refused it.
But I don't really see how it could be balanced in-game, it'd get T-50-2 mobility, a 105mm gun and a pancake profile.

They never refused it, just the team missed the deadline.

Failing to see the issue here. It's a tier 10 vehicle, and it would still have all the issues of a light tank.
Oh yay, next game, hit my SU-26 again. 75% health gone in the first fucking shot
Cripples my engine so all I have to do is wait 3 seconds and I get finished off by the same SU-26.

2 really shitty maps. Komarin had a tenancy for shitpubs to rush cap and leave everyone without XP because of poor flag placement, and if there was arty everyone would just camp behind cover for the majority of the match, lest they get fucking owned by that bastard SU-14 sitting in the back corner. Scouts had no way to penetrate enemy lines because the only way to get to the enemies side of the map was across 3 bridges, which were typically blocked because of shitpubs getting owned on the bridges.
Swamps more or less has the same problem, camp till the last 3 minutes then get killed by artillery.

You can't ram with artillery, they're typically very slow, and the ones that are fast are no more heavy than your typical paperweight. If you want a ram panzer get a panther II or an E-50.
how about this title?

Well the problem is that it'd be faster than all the other T10 lights, harder to hit and yet it'd pack the same armament and just the same lack of armor.
Okay so, 5 games in a row now. I've been killed by an SU-26. That last game, 2 SU-26s on the enemy team.
End of the round, 1 SU had 6 kills, the other had 4 and the other t57 arty had 1. So 11 kills from arty. Not overpowered though.
That reminds me, what the hell would the Americans get?
M551? Please no, no, [B]nooooooooo[/B]
I don't want a tank that goes 70 kph to spam 152mm HEAT shells into my engine deck.

It starts off slow, and the ARL 44 had a god damn bouncetanium turret. Also the Hummel's tracks ate a god damn 122mm round.[/QUOTE]
Hoh man ... What a game
Anyone up to playing some Tier 3 Light with me tomorrow?

Still limited to 72km/h, likely a low DPM given the confines of the tank (or in the autoloader which I believe it has), the fact that it is still is a rather sizable and heavy tank for a light tank (nearly double the ground pressure of the M551 for instance), lending it poor soft stats. No real turret means it has to expose a portion of its hull when peaking out for a shot, not to mention depression and elevation.

I've mentioned it already, but this would be a likely candidate for the Soviet top tier light.

I think tanks designed from the ground up at day one with composite and ERA armour and high calibre modern smoothbore guns that would make any armour in the game totally irrelevant are the limits of what we're getting. Some of the "super cool" tanks we've got did have these features but only in later models and revisions and as WG likes to say "proven" to not have these things in early prototypes or original production models.
I'd like to think most of the things we find and suggest in this thread would be possible, its just WGayming have their own ideas.

Its fully traversable.
Trundling along in Churchill VII with a Lowe beside me due to awful matchmaking
enemy team has two hummels, oh boy I think
spot cromwell, proceed to shoot the everloving fuck out of it
I and Lowe quickly retreat behind the nearest arty-proof cover, Lowe is hit in the tracks but manages to slip right in just in time
the Hummel rounds approach, one slams into the Lowe's turret, massive damage but still alive
second round lands just under a meter behind my Churchill
WE'VE HAD IT, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE
Hummel oneshotted my Churchill VII without even hitting it
Arty is fair and balanced

What do you mean by "No real turret" then?
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;39125086]What do you mean by "No real turret" then?[/QUOTE]
Because it's basically the gun and the breech sticking out of the tank with (most likely) an autoloading system that gets fed by a loader (most likely the poor little commander) inside.

fuck the police
Just bought the t-25, where has this thing been all my life? <3
I think I like this tank.
Being a tier 7 with a 212 pen gun that fires once every 7 seconds is pretty damn nice. Higher tiers don't expect me to damage them.

36k profit on a tier 3 prem.
7 kills.
We had a T-28 with 6 kills.
We also had a triple plat with AMX 38's who just drowned themselves right after I counted down from 5.
Probably the most hilarious match in a while.

If you just do your doubles for a week, you'll get to the panther or tiger by the end of the week.
Oh my god I'm only 23k xp away from the 13 90, I have been waiting for this for so long.

If you're on the NA server, I wouldn't mind having a fellow AMX driver to platoon with. The 13 90 is well worth the grind.
