Ok, so we’ve already talked about adding the ability to sell unused/duplicate vehicles. In fact, I was among those asking for it.
Now, in a sort of turnabout, I’d also like to ability - if we can’t sideline vehicles (leave a squad without a ride) - to purchase more than one copy of the same tech tree vehicle.
I know this is a niche case, but here’s what I’ve encountered. Until just before the merge, I never really focused down one campaign, but tried to play a lot of variety. As a result, for BR II Germany, for example, I have several attack aircraft squads, but haven’t unlocked hardly any upgrades.
There are aircraft that I would like to use with squads for which I have a lot of research upgrades to unlock, but they are trapped with legacy squads which used ONLY them, such as the JU-87D and, most notably, TWO instances of this with the JU87R - the tier I Tunisia squad and the tier II Moscow squad.
There’s another squad with which I can use either of those types of Stuka to accomplish a lot of unlocks - and, importantly, for several thousand XP per level as opposed to 20,000+ XP per level with those legacy squads - while keeping it BR II with the rest of my lineup, but the aircraft are “busy with (those) other squads” - i.e., trapped.
I would seriously spend the 15k silver or whatever it is (not that I have a lot) to buy a duplicate of either of those planes just to be able to use it with the squad where I can unlock upgrades for literally a THIRD of the insane amount of XP the single-plane legacy squads demand (it’s seriously like 6k or something vs 20/21k).

Another poorly-implemented consequence of the merge.
I’d genuinely rather that instead of paying for anything, they remove the “must have vehicle” requirement for all vehicle squads, so you can unequip what you have and re-equip it on a different squad.
Same logic should apply to soldiers and their primary weapons slots.
As with the squads with a minimum member count.

You can already cycle 3 panthers which are according to lot of people better than Tigers 1.
And you can already use both Tiger II in one line up, so nothing would change in this matter as well.
Btw. Germans can cycle 3 Pz III N as well
Tbh, mainly Allies would benefit from it. Currently, all their tanks with 76mm gun (with exception of m10) are locked to one single squad.
Which is obviously unfair if you take on consideration which tanks can Germans cycle.
They need to either restrict the cycling of the same tank or just remove the feature that’s locking tanks to certain squads.

Tiger 1 can at least be actually killed by a 76mm Sherman, same applies for the Panther.
Tiger 2 H in the other not really but are limited to like one so far
Because you can buy/obtain only one Tiger II H. If GO for it ever became reality, there’s high possibility legacy from Normandy will be able to use it. Why? Because it can currently use Tiger II (P).

I don’t want to be offensive, but wouldn’t it be better to play War Thunder if you only want to use tanks and planes?
I want to play ww2 tanks. I’ve tried and played warthunder. But the fact cold war tanks without armor and with wau better ammo are fighting heavy tanks of ww2 is just not something that I am enjoying.
