Title says it all. If the M10 Achilles could be introduced into the game, would you give it the green light, or would you not want to see it? Explanations on why or why not would be good.

Lol imagine a 200+ damage unit crushing infantry like an m10.

The mass uninstall would kill the community.

I'd support the Archer as a commander unit - would be a pretty unique little TD platform...not really the Achilles, too similar to other things.

I forgot the M10 was on speed in this game when I voted :snfPeter:
British usage of it should change it's role anyway. They used more as a mobile AT gun than a frontline tank killer.

Without "unit replacement" system like in ToV I don't see the point with 17 pounder emplacement and firefly already in game.

voted NO as I do not see a reason. Or why would you like it in?
Because it is cool? Because it will improve the gameplay? positive emotion?.....

What's the need, so Relic can make more money off nothing really, as there's already the firefly, 17 pounder, and 6 pounder AT gun? Why more? Should we be upsetting the balancing with more units?

But half of them are doctrinal, all of the British anti-tank mentioned is non-doctrinal.

Yes, it would be nice for brits to have an AT option that's not hindered by a 10 second reload (firefly) or a 20 pop cap emplacement (17 pounder).

That doesn't really mean they should get more doctrinally. UKF was designed specifically to counter heavy armor, more TDs like this seem pointless, because why?

I'm confused, your wording suggests you are siding with me but the gist of your argument says otherwise.

I'll try again OpieOP.

Achilles would be another mobile TD with 17 pounder and crappy survivability.

I don't believe its needed, I don't see what kind of purpose or unique role it would present, moreover UKF being already heavy AT oriented doesn't seem like it even needs more variety here, I could understand something like this for soviets which AT definitely doesn't excel, but not for brits, even 2 USF TDs fill completely different niche with different playstyle behind them.

In this case, how it wouldn't be inferior firefly?

Give us the Archer Tank destroyer. Sure it might always need to drive in reverse, but I rather have that somewhere and be more unique than a Firefly without Tulips with slight stat adjustments.

Would make an ideal ambush tank destroyer once you played around with stats and abilities. Shoot and immediately run away, of course it'd have the weirdest/worst pathfinding like the M15 AA HT :P

I would rather see something more unique than just an up-gun.

Bring on the Staghound.

That's actually a really cool idea. A fragile tank destroyer that's meant to camo and ambush before pulling off. Yeah it is similar to Jackson but still a cool thing to have.

Looks too much like SU-76 to me.

I think the Archer would be better. Achilles is too much like the firefly.
