I’m not speaking for game balance (which actually never existed anyway).
Placing captured weapons in Tech Tree should only be a last resort (like Soviet Panzerfaust), when you can never find a equivalent. Abusing this method will make TT ridiculous, cuz all nations capture some enemy weapons.
Soviets captured an Early Tiger the first time they show up at Leningrad. Americans have a King Tiger (well in WoT they actually made it a Premium lol). Germans organized companies of T-34s to kill their previous owners, and Luftwaffe got Mustang, Thunderbolt, B-17… If we get USA Panzerschreck, why not these? It’s only one step forward.
M20 Super Bazooka had its prototype developed before 1945, it just didn’t see action. Americans brought M20s to Korea, and China also captured tons of them. Give USA an M20 will be far more reasonable. I don’t see a reason to give Americans a RPzB, other than laziness.
…
I actually like the concept of captured vehicle squads as either premiums or event squads. Especially captured ones with modifications like the KW I 756(r) or the SU-76i.
I will say, the panzerschreck is pushing it a bit, though. But it’s set in stone already, they’re not gonna remove it.
Like the Soviet Breda and Thompson and German M93? Warthunder had a history of removing items from the tech tree, so its not impossible.
Generally I prefer if captured equipment stayed on event and premium squads just to keep the prevalence of them down.
That’s the only capture content I accept. If you want your enemy’s weapon just hunt it down. But if its different its yours
Never say never. They fixed the Gewehr 43 Kurz
True. I said no TT, but if there’s premium/event stuff I’ll appreciate that pretty much. Can’t have too many fancy things. I do want French weaponry for Germany at low BR, like the heavy tank B1 ter (or the German refined variant with a frontal 105mm howitzer)
just going to repeat this here…
Agree keep the same pen stats and stuff like that but change the appereance to the M20
: )
Weren’t those locked behind the stalingrad pack outside of the freebie you get with the squad that uses them?
Fixed, yeah, but never removed.
well theres no stopping it now… 
Germany can now have a BR 3 Heavy tank via captured churchill, KV1B or KW IC 756.
I bet that goes down well lol
Japanese Tigers
Soviet Panthers
American 109s
The Thompsons may have been, but I don’t believe any of the other weapons were. And the exclusive vehicles could also be acquired for free by purchasing the gold order skins of them.
No emporor demands justice Japanese panther ,too Japan purchased a a panther D alongside Tiger also Japan purchased PZ III and IV and STG 44 s and got gifted MP40 and SVTs by germany though these were gifted to Japanese embassy oh yeah captured M1 both carbine and grand would be awsome ,too and also Thompson would be awesome and cherry on this cake would be the Federovs, AVS and DT captured by Japanese during Japan soviet border skirmishes
This Japan would be unstoppable
Question is always if it is needed for balance.
