Early Panther G "Cuckoo" - The Bird that growled

Of who? Henschel & Son; Henschel Works doesn’t exist anymore; it was merged and then dissolved, and Wegmann & Co., which produced the turret, was absorbed by KNDS. Becoming a Subsidiary and no longer exists. Also, the people who designed and produced it are long dead.

So who would you give the parts, hull, and turret to?
The ones long gone? Or the ones still maintaining the bloody thing?

Cause if you gave it to those no longer on this plane of existence. It will look like this after some time.

Either everyone gets captured vehicles or nobody gets any, if the UK gets this the US should get the Tiger 2H

Knowing that the ones who used those were known as the Rag-Tag Circus, aka the 83rd Infantry Division. Everything they captured was serviced.

USA use of captured German equipment is interesting though the western allies where seen rightfully as a unstoppable logistical steamroller people forget there where lean times. Due to Germany withdrawing from France lots of artillery and there ammo would fall into USA hands and to solve some of the overloaded logistics some would be used. If I remember right two field battalions would use the 10.5cm IeFH 18 fieldpiece and another would use the 88 in a indirect fire role. It did happen for the Allies would use in a organized form captured weapons outside of random or special events.

A lot of it was thanks to the 83rd.

I agree entirely.

The US has five captured vehicles (the Ki-43, Ki-61, FW190, BF109, and A6M2)

Britain has zero. Where are Britain’s 5 captured vehicles?

I agree for air but the ground USA has AFAIK exactly zero.

Yet every nation in the game gets American tanks

Too bad lend lease exists. What a surprise that the biggest producer and exporter of weapons has exported their weapons to every nation in WT.

Garbage excuse, Germany has the same issue with leopards. Gaijin gives better vehicle variants to smaller TT in order to move players to grind smaller nations with premiums to make money. Its called power creep were all used to it. Has nothing to do with lend lease.

Smaller TT’s don’t have anything because Gaijin never bothered to give them anything. Aside from that, what you consider “better” goes to other nations because they serviced those specific modifications. On that platform, the nation of origin doesn’t matter when that country never used that variant, since it was never intended for their service.

Yeah. And yet they also have a captured M4, T-34, KV-1, KV-2, Wellington, Tempest, Il-2, Yak-1, two P-47’s, La-7, Churchill, and an AML 35. Also to mention the Czech Pz.35 and 38 as well as the Belgian Lorelei. (Yes Thomas I know that’s not what the Belgians called it but shush).

How about that.

So where are the upgraded variants for germany? Exactly my point, we dont see the 2A7VA1 because italy and sweden would have an equal. Thus the smaller nations would lose player base.

No copypaste lol, it’s funny seeing the cope in this thread

We don’t see it cause there is little to no information out. It was only unveiled 2 years ago. Were you trying to have a counter arguement cause, going to be real, that’s like going back to 2014 and being told that in 5 years the M1A2 Abrams will be in the game.

You would be wondering what would be added before it. But also, what would it be fighting? You also have had people thinking the M1A2 would just appear in WW2 and dominate.

You know this tank though “copy paste” is perfect for a event vehicle you don’t lose a unique vehicle for the tree and you gain a trusted tank that will be useful in a line up. Would you prefer a event have this or a unique UK prototype vehicle?
