I think they should only add captured tanks that have been converted or modified or built in occupied nations (like Czech tanks).

T-V is hilarious in WT on Sim.

I would like to see some of them but they shouldn’t be available for long (like a event) in order to keep some tanks exclusive to their original nation.

Man KV1 with long Panzer IV gun sounds utterly broken for BR3, while being pointless in BR4.

Maybe a BR4 event vehicle for people that haven’t unlocked real BR4 tanks yet.

Real Shermans and T34 in German hands sounds kinda lame though, same for Soviet Panthers.

First we should talk about adding more tanks and SPGs that are completely missing that were however very common in the war.

The 38(t) is already in-game though only as Premium :smiling_face_with_tear:. Only other one could be Hetzer, but I see no reason to add it in-game due to TDs generally not being used at all.

As for others, well Germany used some captured French tanks, but in very limited numbers so just another premium squad.

yes and no it depends on the situation for example the Italian T34 had no modifications but it would be a nice event vehicle squad for Italy

Well. Issue is where would you put the line then?
Ok, a T-34 for Italy. But why only for Italy/ Axis?
Already see mains bitching about this forever.

Which would be fine according to my own standards… so okay I guess…

Well. If the open Flak truck is good enough, the Hetzer should be fine, especially since it is closed and has a remote MG.

I would have no issues if friendly fire is turned back on.

One of the things that makes captured tanks work in WT Sim, is that more often than not they are destroyed by their own side.

In enlisted the maps are so small and the markings stand out so significantly, not to mention the targeting markers lighting up without proper LOS, that many of these vehicles would be pointless since you’d identify them immediately.

Would they add to the immersion ? Not really since most of the historical accuracy has been pissed up the wall anyway.

I’d say only if the country that captured them made extensive modifications. For example, the KV-1 with a German gun, SU-76i, etc.

I think this would be a very bad idea as much I would like to have a panzer II or a Puma with 75mm Howitzer or CUCKOO(A captured panther G) and the StuG III with a concrete casement I can see these as premiums or event Vehicles but not tech tree.

Most tanks do not even have markings. Or do you mean the friendly player tags/ markings?

I think the

I think these two would make for really cool event rewards.

Id be fine with captured tanks under two main conditions

-They were event only/rewards for something

-They did not include any tank from any nation higher then BR3, as BR4/5 contains some of the most iconic vehicles from each nation, those should not be shared.

Didn’t the Soviets equip a few of these with ZiS-S-53 guns and DT MGs? That’d be a pretty cool addition to the game.

There’s no way it would be BR3, we already have worse KV-1 at BR4. And overall worse tanks like Pz IV H are at BR4 as well.

Btw, speaking of captured tanks.

I wouldn’t be againt any of captured stuff as long as they’re event reward or limited in some way.

But I really don’t want to see copypasted stuff across the several tech trees (with lazy argument, they’re captured. Just like Soviet AT launchers, they don’t even have slightly different texture…)

Germany’s TT is literally full, so most likely going to go for event vehicles and stuff
