When you open the game, go to "setup" - "game" - "legacy tank randomization" and turn it ON. It is off by default and I think you will have to do it every time you open the game.

Seriously? I will need to fix it, noting it down

Game detects what kind of tanks you currently own and proposes the ones you do not have, do you have any shermans?

yes i have shermans, truthfully i have a least 2 to 3 of every tank in the game so that might be why but i do see a lot of shermans every variant, grayhounds, m20's and the "drop rate" for other tanks seems a bit low. like i never see bt45, panzer 2, is2 etc

also i can confirm the legacy tank randomize is off by default idk if that would help or not

thanks

If you have the same amount of every tank then the game stops checking which tanks you dont have, it starts generating random tanks again, based on their randomization config. Shermans are set to very common and they will be more common - we have suggestion to just add a button to generate an extraction with selected tank on demand, just for some amount of money. We are goin to add it

As much as I agree with the discussion of Shermans appearing too often (doesn't help that there's a lot of Sherman variants in the game too), adding a button to just let us demand a tank on the dig site sort of kills the point of extraction missions imho

This could be some kind of upgrade or game settings thing, customizable

In the Steam\steamapps\common\TankMechanicSimulator\TankMechanicSimulator_Data\DLCs\DLC_2
there's a DLC_2_Config.json file.
I opened (with notepad) it and modified the "TankRarity".
Standard value is 1 and it must mean ' ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ too often', so I switched to 3 which seems to be 'rare'.

In the DLC_1_Config.json , I modified the TankRarity value of tiger 2 from 3 to 1.

I have played only 1 hour since that, and the number of shermans occurences has dropped, while I saw my first tiger 2 ever through repair mission (haven't digged one in 3 tries, but I keep my hopes up).

Yes, thats true but there are shermans in base game that you wont be able to change that way, although in this way you can make at least 6 of them be more rare

I never really knew it is possible in build though, but now I would not treat that as an error if it helps
