I know this is usually a controversial topic, but i figure since this was part of the actual war and widely used, would you like yo see captured equipment added tk respective nations? Examples of these could be the german captured T 34, KV 1 (both standard and the modified 7.5 cm), KV 2,Sherman, Matilda, french tanks (when or if we get the french) and so on. And on the russian side captured PZ 3’s and Panther. The Americans could have the captured King Tiger and Stug. Of course this would go for airctaft aswell.

ehh idk about the vehicles,but the weapon sure dont think darkflow will add more captured equipment maybe something for germans idk if americans need stugs
Whe already have capture and lend-lease equipment, soviet breda,mp717,m93 steyr and thompson in stalingrad who after the merge become only usable by who played stalingrad, introduce additional captured equipment still usable only by few people is something nice, but when everyone indipendentaly from the faction use the exact same gun it mean something is broken
Tldr:
- yes collectors captured and lend-lease equipment
- no common captured equipment for everyone

I think captured weaponry could be added in very limited quantities, likely through events. The main problem I have with captured weaponry is that they homogenize the factions to the point where they all feel the same. I think modified versions of captured weapons, like the mp41r, are the best weapons to implement.

Yeah, captured stuff shouldn’t be researchable. It could be possible only if certain technology is heavily modified by its “new nation”.

i personally dislike using captured weapons or vehicles outside the nations that should play.
unless those are premium, or necessary because of lack of a counter part ( for example, in the soviets, when halftracks will be a thing, m3s / m5s will be the only choice. as they had none. unless you convert that other AA halftrack of the soviet )
otherwise, i’d rather those being premium / gold orders.
but that’s just me i guess.

Yes, but the item needs to be used a limited number of times
I think it is possible to try some unique cards, players can use these cards in battle for a limited number of times
Hng did that mistake
Ended up everyone to use same things

I wouldn’t mind at all: Enlisted will, or rather already is, a big anachronistic arcade mess. No more reason to restrict anything. Willbe accentuated even more with campaigns in big melting pots. People dissed any form of dreaded, evil “HA” anyway.
Why not. Doesn’t matter to me.
Br mm will ensure everyone ends up using the same stuff after a while already, too.
I really want to drive the Black Panther in the German army (disguised as the M10 model)

I am in favor of captured material BUT only under certain conditions (mainly if it’s material intended for the main tech tree)
(I’ll take Italian material as an example)
- Equipment captured in large numbers or given by a friendly nation
For example the ZB vz.26 ( captured )
or MG 42 ( provided )
-
If captured equipment is needed to close holes in the tech tree due to lack or balance issues
For example the Maroszek wz. 35 supplied in 800 pieces and renamed Fucile controcarro Mod. 35(P)
-
Captured equipment or vehicles that have undergone modifications (this is not strictly necessary but gives a more unique style than a simple different insignia, greater ease in recognizing the enemy or even different styles of use from the original vehicle or weapon)
For example the Laffly S15 TOE (at least 4 vehicles) which was modified with a Breda mod.38 8 mm in the turret and a Breda-SAFAT 12.7mm installed in the rear for anti-aircraft defence.
for the rest I would prefer to see them for events or premium

No thanks.
Don’t want to see Soviet Panther vs German KV-1.

I wouldn’t mind as gold order weap or vehicles.
Wouldn’t change nothing for me.
They have. That’s where the idea came to me.
I use a lot of enemy weapons in my games. Always picks up weapons in case I need a rifle, a MG or run out of ammo.
That’s enough of “captured weapons”, at least for me.
