Add the Bob Semple

[Arceal]

I don't even need to argue why this tank needs to be in the game. Even if it is added as a premium I would buy it.

It's not a meme tank. It's a beautiful tank.

It can be a meme and beautiful at the same time

The Bob Semple tank was a tank designed by New Zealand Minister of Works Bob Semple during World War II. Originating out of the need to build military hardware from available materials, the tank was built from corrugated iron on a tractor base. Designed and built during a period of uncertainty in which New Zealand feared having to defend itself from Japanese invasion without external assistance, these tanks were a civilian effort to design and create a means to protect New Zealand.

Designed and built without formal plans or blueprints, it had numerous design flaws and practical difficulties, and was never put into mass production or used in combat.

sorry, just referencing wikapedia, I know it ain't always reliable, but it does set the record straight

Schofield tank

now this is a practical new zealand tank

fast, light, decent gun. It would even be a BT-5 competitor

They could add the one with a 37mm that was planned. Then it wouldn't be entirely useless.

no it wouldn't
since it had corrugated iron armour that couldn't withstand anything greater than a pistol

Was so happy to see this thread.

Wouldn't mind some stupid april fools event that involved the Bob Semple tank doing stupid things. I don't know... maybe Bob Semple tank paintball?

Any better ideas?

So what it's old? Doesn't mean we can't enjoy it. You don't have to only like the current memes that are trending with all the cool kids.

Also, some of us might be new to the meme at all.
