In Berlin the Panther G is a tanker 1 squad but in normandy it is tanker 3 and similar with the Tiger E or F2 in stalingrad and moscow.
Will tanker number (x) just be gone post merge?
as the merge hints,
tanks will be essentially be merged into squads ( for the grind tech tree ).
for example, Tanker Type I will have All Panzer IIs, PZ IIIS.
type II Will have Panzer IVs,
type III Will have panthers and tigers.
the rest, you can take somewhat of an estimate from here:
although, from what they have stated, we will keep our squads upon merge.
so it appears that it will be possible to bring 2 tigers, 2 panthers etc afterward

My guess is that since they seem to hate changing anything after the fact; any squads that have already been unlocked by players will remain as-is, but for anyone who unlocks them after the merge they could change it around to make more sense with less redundancy
There’s going to be quite the redundancy for Germans and Russians in particular.
i’m somewhat glad that we keep our stuff in a sense.
for example, i can have more volkssturm squads 
so i’ll have my own private volkssturm division ready for duty )
( although i fear that won’t happen, because i do have vgs 1-5, but i might end up in tunisia or normandy 
where there are no volkssturm uniforms there.
double copies of certain squads for larping around, and be able to use similar vehicles multiple times ( such as pz IIIs, PZ IVS and what not )
but will a new player be able to use 3 times rifleman squads ? despite only being one until tier II & III respectively?
because it’s not clear after merge how squads will work for newer people.
and yes, on the other hand, this creates issues where people will have 3 tigers and what not

I’ve got a strong feeling that historical uniforms enjoyers like you will be suffering a lot…
Your volkssturm squad in Tunisia will probably either look like a boat in the woods, or have all uniforms automatically replaced with generic desert ones…
If we get lucky, Normandy will be generalized into the western front once the merge occurs, if that happens we should hopefully be able to see volkssturm uniforms in “Normandy” as there were Volkssturm units on the Western Front, only difference between them and their Eastern Front counter parts was western volkssturm units tended to surrender rather than seeing their city destroyed by Allied bombing.

we always have been suffering…
which, i don’t know.
they said that the uniforms will be matching the campaign they are in so…
most likely will get to chose the uniforms per campaign.
which… dunno. from a point, i can understand it. because it would prevent people dressing up with winter uniforms in normandy or tunisia… on the other though, you don’t really have much of a choice in what you want to wear.
leading to the whole system become somewhat priced just to fit all enivorements.
but we’ll see…
guess the desert fox will be getting his reinforcements with time traveller weapons lmao.
the first time the allies faced volkssturms were in october 1944 in the battle of aechen.
aka, the first city that the allies took in german land.
dunno, according to enlisted standards, just like jumbos, m24s and what not, should be there already.
but… only god knows what happens in those offices.
guess we’ll see.
Redundancy?
I will bring 6x flamers for the simple joy of it.
