I mean, each individual suggestion about adding export/captured version itself is interesting
But [Getting the full batch of them] is a bit questionable.
For example.
We captured ‘various variants’ of Bf 109 from Germany in WW2
So, I think I won’t mind having ‘one’ as a trophy. because US has their one too. isn’t it?
But adding ‘all’ of those BF109 in GB TT will create disturbance in both GB and DE mains.
All three seems fine to me
TBM Avenger will be good for low-BR CAS (it will be better than Kyunana or Tenzan maybe?)
Catalina is one of my fav seaplanes, so I won’t mind getting more and more of them
For Neptune one, maybe the USN one needs to get added first, and JNSDF can get theirs on the following update?
IMO, as long as they are built by Lockheed, Americans can have their Neptune in their TT first, and will be fairer.

I am not a fan. This game has enough Copy Paste as it is, especially Japan. They absolutely do not need more, particularly at the BR this thing sits at.

In 1st rank Japan has two premium planes. I think there is enough space for one more
Honestly, I wrote some of the suggestions (like the B-339E or P-40N) more so that more people would see these interesting stories, not so that they would appear in the game (gajin thinks that anything the Japanese touched is too op and won’t be added to the game). I don’t think many people have heard that Japan had these planes.

Agreed.
For me, I heard that they captured our Buffalo before, but never heard that they also captured some from the Dutch. Until I read your suggestion.

Find a domestic aircraft. Their are plenty that could be added. Even if it is a reskinned plane from the same rank. That is infinitely better than a Copy Paste from another TT.

Dude look at the list of aircraft suggestions for Japan and then the author of those suggestions. Do that and we’ll continue the discussions.

Can I ask a few questions?
-
Do you think that adding ‘captured planes which were used by another nation before’ will damage the uniqueness? (including adding one or two cases too.)
-
If you said yes on the first question. Will it damage uniqueness even more than ‘lame C&P subtree, which has minimal connection to the original nation, and filled with none of their domestic vehicle but some meta vehicles from majors’?
Just ignore Pano. He hates anything. Guy has a negative and infamous reputation. Several folks do.

Ehhh… Hyperbolically, Maybe He might complain about McDD AV-8B in the UK TT.
or McDD F-4 in UK TT.
According to his claim about planes, and stances about the USA and others.

Don’t give him ideas…
Right, I forgot C&P is only bad if it originated in the US

It works more like the other way around. Captured planes become more unique. Let’s take the Japanese P-51C, the Japanese Lagg-3, the Finnish P-40M and a few others. Each has an interesting history behind it, which increases their uniqueness. Each captured plane, ceases to be just an undefined P-51C, for example, but this twisted unique machine.

@MAUSWAFFE , not Ju-86K, but should be Ju 87 K-1, He-118 should be DXHe1 (He-118), V-143 should be AXV1 (V-143).
Ki-43-IIIa. No Ki-44-IIIa
(Ups. I looked wrong, but it’s still a mistake. 2-5 Ki-44-IIIa planes were made and none of them went to China.)
Damn, I’ve written over 120 suggestions, I’ve spent about 600 hours on this already. And people complain that there are no suggestions for “original” Japanese planes. This is hilariously idiotic.

Ohhh, I see. Seems in a quite different POV than others, which I saw in the forum.
This pov also sounds fair. XD

+1 for event/BP as captered vehicles there make better reards, then 90% of them, as the other stuff can be left for TT.
Well, I’m sure most brit mains would take BAE harriers over AV-8B’s anyways
