I am on the fence on captured content. On one hand yes everyone captured everything they could get their hands on. But on the other it kind of tarnishes the integrity of a faction’s arsenal. What give America Stgs and King Tigers and give Germany Garands and Pershings. Plus there’s the slippery slope of let’s just give this faction X or Y even if there’s not even a historical precedent, lets give Germany a Pershing!
Which is why I think for now capture content should be heavily regulated. For example, no giving America a Stg, yes giving Germany a T34 with P3 cupola because it was at least modified to be unique.
Historically, this happened quite a lot. It’s well documented that the Nazis (and the Americans) “rebadged” captured equipment to fool the enemy in some operations. The Japanese were less covert, they just used what they stole with very little “rebadging”.
I completely agree, though some captured US/British equipment could work for the Japanese faction, considering they currently suffer from the lack of a fleshed-out TT.
Also Japan bought MAB 38/43 (With 20 round mags , giving them 40 round mag wouldn’t bother me) and these MABs reached Japan (There are bunch of semi-autos that Japan bought , famously Pedersen rifle for testing before the Chinese war and SVTs, were also gifted to Japanese embassy in germany)
Not much can be done there though I can see one specific thing get added to Japanese TT, and that being modified M1 carbine (Captured by Japanese , shortened and made to fire in full auto) , could fill the AR role
you mean the one tiger tank that Japan bought but never received or left Europe
as premium or event ok boring and predictable
as tech tree sure when the allies get a tiger 2 Porsche as tt
It’s already in the game and fully working as you can check yourself in editor. It has a green camo. It will be probably a TT vehicle as it doesn’t seem to have any decorations added. If it’s a premium then it will be most laziest premium they could add as it would take them 5sec to make, just paint it green lol.
Captured guns should be added only in limited quantities either as event weapon or squad/premium/bp weapon. While vehicles only when it was modified or TT warrants new addition to fill the empty gap at certain BRs like Tiger for Japan.
We already have that one with the old Premium Panzer III N, the E2/U7 that was turned from premium to TT in Stalingrad and never forget the P-51 and the BF109 G6 in Normandy that were the same as the level variants.
It was supposed to come out in March but no change ever since. I guess they didn’t want to have lazy event on pacific maps and maybe decided to postpone it when they will have Khalkhin Gol or Manchuria real maps.
In that case, we can abolish concept of faction specific TTs. Because the Western Allies had more KVs and T-34s than the Japanese had German vehicles.
Completely ruining integrity and uniqueness of every faction => there’s no point in having factions in the first place.
We can go full Battlefield.
More like twisting historical facts to justify copy paste in TTs.
Literally historical fact is that Japanese physically had not a single Tiger.
Giving them pather is even bigger nonsense. And it doesn’t have anything in common with real history. It is just pure BS.
We already have Japan with a bloody Tiger tank. PLEASE can we not ruin this game anymore?
Indeed instead of giving Japan copy paste German or USA/UK tech.
Why dont we give them Dutch tech which so far we havent got in game?
The Japanese captured various weapons from the Dutch East Indies and I know some of the Dutch rifles for instance were given to pro-Japanese locals in Asia and the Pacific.
I would also support the previous suggestions of adding more Swiss tech to Japan. Switzerland was neutral and some Swiss tech was bought by Japan. (as we see in the current TT)
Like the Netherlands, Swiss tech isnt in game anywhere else and it would be good to have legitimate neutral countries weapons that were purchased, rather than more fairytale prototypes that exist only as a single drawing on a serviette.
