Good day everyone, today i suggesting new vehicle that doesn’t necessarily Limited Production/Prototype but can be added to the game as Event/Premium vehicle as a sidegrade to already existing vehicle in game, and today my suggestion would be the T-III (Panzer III J)
With the attack of Nazi Germany on the Soviet Union, Red Army soldiers began capturing other Pz.III tanks. These were then repaired and put into service with Soviet units under the designation T-III (Type-3). They were successfully used until 1943, when, due to insufficient penetration of the main gun and a limited supply of captured ammunition, they were withdrawn from service.
The Soviet T-III , Being a copy of the German Panzer III J (or in this case, captured tank pressed into service) boasts a decently powerful 50 mm gun, which allows it to engage even the most heavily armoured combat vehicles encountered in BR I-II. Its decent mobility allows it to both keep up with Infantry, supporting them with fire, and to take up advantageous firing positions. One of the tank’s key drawbacks is its mediocre survivability: the crew is compactly arranged, and the upper glacis plate and sides are easily penetrated. Therefore, for increased protection, the tank should be angled with a corner towards the enemy.
Captured weapons should not be added unless it is absolutely necessary for balance. Or if we get captured stuff then at least give it unique modifications like mp 41r is chambered in 9mm and japanese m2 carbine is sawn off. I would rather have t-80 or t26-4 for event/premium br 1 tank
What are you talking about? Do you mean you want the captured weapons to have a bit more distinctive features to distinguish them and prevent them from being just a boring repack? But in my opinion, historically, capturing this tank was just taking it and using it. At least this tank has stickers like hammers, sickles, and hearts. And it’s in pure green color scheme, which already makes it quite distinguishable. Besides, the markings on the heads for identifying the enemy and our side in the game are also quite obvious. There shouldn’t be any confusion about who is the enemy. Well, compared to that old repack tiger and IS-1礼包 before， I think this one looks quite interesting. It’s like the M3Le aid.
Yes I do agree, maybe as a one of for an event, but I prefer this would not be the case (unless it has some intresting gimic, like the premium partisan units of Soviets and Germany with each others weapons, though that was kinda intresting if they don’t do it to much).
As I see I was beat to the punch, yes absolutely, captured vehicles are cool if they are modified by the nation that captured them, at least to the degree that the germans did to T-34’s and even a KV-2 with that added commanders cupola.
But when using the panzer 4s with the 75, they’ve BARELY face IS-1 and sometimes they struggles against Kv-1s and KV-2 (Unless someone brings one in br 5)
