Allow the panzer IV J " battle scars " to be used inside others tank squads as well

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

so, i’ll start by saying that, all tanks should be able to be used in all squads.

but that’s beside the point.

i find it strange that the panzer IV J zombie is considered an event vehicle yet it can only be used in the 33rd panzer regiment ( aka the ger_moscow_tank_2 )

but it cannot be used in other squads that has panzer IV Js:

like the
ger_normandy_tank_1

ger_berlin_tank_1

hell, id argue, even the ger_normandy_tank_2 should be able to fit it.
since it doesn’t have a whole lot of options:

why?

well,
first of all, as i have multiple squads for different presets, i’d like to have different squads with different vehicles. mostly cosmetics. but at the same time, a convinience so that i don’t have to swat each time back and forth. kinda one of the reason why some of us veterans have lots of squads. for easier management. we grinded for those.

and the panzer IV J is really inconvenient because is placed in one of those low br squad that has a massive pool.

of which i already use for my historical loadouts with the marder.

in my situations

i am making a battle of the bulge historical loadouts and i was opting to use a panzer IV J.
problem is, no squads beside the one i already am using the marder can use this panzer IV.

considering that i already have most HA loadouts for all factions:

but at the same time, even other events vehicles such as the m5a1 carol, can be used by more than 1 squad:

or for example,

the event soviet bt7a

id be even of the idea that each event vehicles should have it’s unique squad.
like the soviet and german AA, but that could be too much work, and some people would rather keep those to grind some squads.

but still.

so yeah, that’s all.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

all tanks should be able to be used in all squads.

So anyway for keep a bit of progression and fairness should be like this

Tanker 1 (default unlock) can use

• BR1 and BR2 tank

Tanker 2 (unlocked with first BR3 tank) can use

• BR1, BR2, BR3 and BR4 tank

Tanker 3 (unlocked with first BR5 tank) can use

• All tank of the game

Same concept can work with fighters and attacker squads

Infantry doesn’t have any similar limitation on guns so why should vehicle squads?
I can use SF rifles on my BR1 rifleman in BR1 squad.

Nevertheless it can be done as a free for all too like infantry, but I wish to keep a bit of fairness and progression incentives on vehicles at least

I’d argue that it’s more fair to make it “free for all” as with the limitation you’ve proposed, new players won’t be able to (theoretically) cycle 3 heavy BR5 tanks while vets with legacy squads can.

And in terms of progression, imo better vehicles, better soldiers (that also needs grind to unlock upgrades) and more squads to use/cycle is good enough reason to progress.

Also simply consistency. (I bet devs are affraid of this word.)

I agree.

That would also make people buy more gold order vehicles, because there will be less duplicates, as you can only use one tank. (KV-1 gold orders by example)

To add: planes should also not be limited to squads
