WG should add this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semovente_da_90/53
This should be the Tier 7…not the machine currently slated to be Tier 7, and which screams Tier 8 to me.
there are 7 italian TD’s that were actually built that WG could put into the game instead of 2 that existed and 4 fake ones plus the fake T8 prem ofc
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Semovente&title=Special:Search&go=Go&ns0=1
Some are low tier that should be part of the collectors.
WG care only about high tier this days
Like most of the players says they don’t play anything below tier 6 or 7 and there are so me who plays only T9 and T10 which is kinda funny when you realise that they play only 20% of the game
There are enough Italian TDs to fill holes from Tier 2-3 to Tier 7-8, and they could all share the same gimmick of the M43 – very high engine power, powerful guns with derpy accuracy, crazy good camo, but trash survivability.
Problem is, this stuff stopped being relevant years ago, so now we get two of these as padding, and Tier 7 to Tier 10 plus the premium are weird looking heavy tanks.
