Good news.

Copium

i see you have adapted to using my tactics

good student here's your grade: A+

Being completed while the war was going on works for me... I rly shouldnt have to explain the difference between 1945 and the 1970s, i would hope thats relatively obvious

But answer my question? Where do u draw the line for authenticity?

Its okay for tanks to be portrayed completely innacurately, as long as the models were real? Their speed and handling can be on par with modern cars, the battles they are fighting in can be completely fabricated, they can be reliably lazered from the sky by planes, they can be spotted by a flare launched from a mortar, but as long as the names and appearance are correct its still considered "authentic"?

That makes zero sense to me. The BP breaks immersion for u, but how the hell were u ever immersed in the first place???

Again with the lazer plane idiotic analogy.

And once again I will say the answer: said planes EXISTED during the war.

Why the title

regardless it is pretty clear the inclusion of the BP is desperation on relics part to give Britain a heavy tank on par with the Tiger. except they didnt have one IRL. I'd much rather they scrap this laughable idea and work on some other more unique advantages for the british faction.

excellent reply on most points

I think your last sentence should be talked upon because it shows the natural projection of real life history bias in a game and the reverse.

UKF and Wehrmacht were two very different armies, not only in uniforms etc. but down right to their organizational principles.

UKF did not build "heavy" attacking tanks like Tigers simply because they never needed them. Most if not all of their engagements were in forest heavy areas where deployment of those vehicles was never seriously considered to begin with.

Similarly, Luftwaffe never built the same planes as the british did, simply because the British could afford to mass produce cheap planes and order their pilots to parachute down from their plane if they lost an engagement and give them a new one. Luftwaffe did not have such an excuse for making a down par vehicle.

Same with Soviets, they could get away with shitty T34s' chassises since they could refuel nearby and if they ever broke down or lost (which absolutely did) they could count on their crews being near the base of the camp and give them new ones.

Expecting the UKF to have the same fighting means as Wehr is completely ridiculous and insane. And it leads to dumb shit like this when we talk about Black Panther or Pink Panther or whatever and talk abou Maus and Ratte etc... stupid discussion by people mostly ignorant on practical mil history.

If all lelic cared about was a "Tiger killer" to appease marketing fanboys they could pick from thousands of tanks produced and suit them appropriately in the game (by changing stats etc) to make a fair fight. That would be ok.

I doubt there is even one sane person here who is 100% FOR the Black Prince. Everybody knows it's completely out of historical context and out of the very COH's franchise aesthetic toolkit. The only thing they can talk about is shit like "Yes but JT/KT/ST are not exactly ...." which completely misses the point.

You cannot be asked a question and reply with another question, at least if you have something to say and not try to evade.

Nobody believes BP deserves to be in the game, for any reason other than "giving it" to purported Wehraboos which in and of itself is very sad.
