This idea came to me while I was browsing through decals for USSR ground vehicles.
One of them is “SMRT NĚMECKÝM VRAHŮM!” (DEATH TO GERMAN MURDERERS!, the ingame description is translated incorrectly), a historically accurate inscription.
It is taken from one of the many Hetzers that were used during the Prague Uprising in fights against the German occupation forces:
In this particular case, it was an unfinished version of the Hetzer, most likely hastily modified at the factory and deployed against the Germans (quite a few of these half-baked Hetzers also used).
There are several ways to add this vehicle to the USSR faction:
Unfinished modified version of the Hetzer (a troll vehicle for “fun,” a Liberator-like vehicle)
A properly finished Hetzer (already present in game files)
0voters
Seperate event/premium squad -Czech rebels’ crew (VA could be imported from WT)
When it comes to the Soviets, I thought the opposite was already the norm. For me, the question of whether this should be the case or not is long past.
I think we can request the French tanks captured by Germany, such as B1 (I’m not sure if KV1 can destroy it). If can’t, it’s actually quite interesting.
That just gave me a idea for a new squad type, APC Demo units. (Without spawning)
They would have 1 Driver, 2 Engineers, 1 Radio Op, 1 AT, and a switchable MG/Assaulter. They can build heavy weapons like Heavy AA (for BR V) and regular AA, as well as AT guns for both BR III and BR V, and ammo. Respawn buildables would not be able to used with this squad and cannot spawn other squads and also cannot build other structures like sandbags and barbwire. This is just a vehicle with enough space for the crew limited at 6 with as little as 4/5 (depending on what each nation has). This squad would excell at quick set up at a position and a more reactive play style based on where the Enemies vehicles or large amounts or solders are, the downside would be a paper thin vehicle without a weapon and can’t spawn squads/build rallies.
Pros:
They would be good at flanking due to having a vehicle, be able to provide quick assistance in the form of AT/MG from the rear to the front, can Build MG/HMG, AA/Heavy AA, AT/Heavy AT and hedgehogs and ammo boxes, can turn the tide against enemies and vehicles in a pinch.
Cons:
They would be only slightly protected when moving and have enough armor to stop a pistol or small caliber rounds, would instantly die to AT rifles if engine was hit (watch your driving as it can also destroy or break parts for doing things like large air time jumps, or hitting at more then half speed for rocks/trees/buildings,etc!), and can’t spawn or build rallies as well as most buildables, Would be most beneficial when a team is losing to turn the tide on vehicles or swarms of enemies or in troll uses.
All in all it’s a potential idea for more refinement and a possible later post, but with more cons then pros it mostly be a for fun squad that has occasional use, restricted to BR III and above. Each nation would get one of these squads based on what vehicle options they have that would work. Any values or ideas like how fragile the vehicle is or squad composition are still being thought on as well as squad name (as APC demo units sucks).
Plus, this skin is already available in WT, where you can buy it on the Gaijin Marketplace. And the developers at Enlisted have used user-created skins from WT many times before.
