Aye, and honestly, I’d like to see it done in a more interesting way. Panther II with the Schmale-Blende for Germany, while the US gets the Panther II mit G-Turm. Both nations get unique vehicles, everyone should be happy, and it’ll eliminate accusations of Copy&Paste, too.

I’d rather see the Panther 2 G in the German tree since they don’t have a 6.3-6.7 br medium tank

That’s why I was thinking the Panther II (Schmale Blende) for Germany. Feels like it’d slot in nicely at the 6.3-6.7 slot
What’s the Schmale Blende?
It’s basically the panther f turret but slightly different if I’m remembering it correctly
This is a suggestion that would be awesome! Panther 2 with the schmale blende turret for the tech tree for Germany and the one fitted with the g turret as an event for America
Germany V4, I put the “Panther II G” in the German tree, and my reasoning is there(US has plenty of 6.x medium tanks)

Why not both? Maybe g turret folders in the schmale blende for Germany and since the US was the one that fitted the g turret, they could also have it as an event/premium as it’s a captured vehicle that was modified by America

That’s no good reason for copy slop
Some don’t care about it, especially if it’s historical copy slop.
Basically, it was Rheinmetall’s turret proposal for the Panther II
Spoiler
Sure, but at the same time, the II G is pretty much a US creation, so I’d argue it makes more sense to plop it into the American TT as a Premium/Event tank.
Tbh I feel like if there’s a cool story attached to the vehicle, there’s no reason it shouldn’t be added. Hence, my suggestion is to use Tiger II (280243) 332. On a similar note, that’s why I would like to see Tiger 131 added eventually. Though with 131, I will acknowledge that implementing it would be very difficult, as the tank, its image, and the number 131 are patented by the Tank Museum. So that would require Gaijin to form a partnership with Bovington, and even the,n as seen with WoT, Bovington still had some say in how the thing was implemented.
Would fit way better as just a skin on the current tiger 2
i mean if you give it to both sides i dont mind but where would it go into the tree
this is funny yes a american creation all they did was take Panther G turret and slap it on it was 100% built and made by germany it has no reason to go to america it never even saw combat gaijin rarely ever does vehicles that havent even been used
it was only put on for trial purposes it would never make it to game
this is the only panther 2 theyll probably ever add
Then just make it a skin.
They can make it a skin but probably won’t stop it from being added to that tree since it’s a famous capture.

An American king tiger? Ah hell naw
Definitely a no from me. If you start adding captured vehicles into the game then i suppose that the Russians should be allowed Leopards, Abrams, Challengers and Bradleys.
People choose nations because of their differences, their strengths and weaknesses
At this rate, you will end up just choosing whatever nation you want and have access to any vehicles built by any nations.
There is enough copy/paste in this game already without adding additional captured vehicles. Yes im aware that we have some already. We should be looking to stop the whole copy/paste thing where there arent any marked differences, not looking to add more.

Sure, I’m not denying the components were built by Germany. However, Germany had no intention or plans to stick an Ausf. G turret on a Panther II hull; that was purely an American concoction. So at the end of the day, it’s an American idea using captured components and thus would only fit in the US Tech Tree. It’s kind of like arguing that the French-modified Panzer III with a Panzer II turret should go to Germany because the components are German, even though it’s 100% a French modification.
We’ve got quite a few such trial vehicles in-game already, anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal.
Probably the only one that’ll go into a Tech Tree at least.
They could, but it won’t stop people from asking for the real vehicle, not to mention there are some specific captured vehicles with unit-specific modifications or variants that aren’t in-game yet. Honestly, it’d be better, in that sense, to add them as separate vehicles and deal with Tech Tree placement on a case-by-case basis.
