Please feel free to share whatever you have, I would love to see them.
As promised, here are the vehicles in question:
I am not sure what unit these were apart of, but supposedly the photos were taken in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine sometime in September or October of 1943. The trucks were not specified when I found them, but the twin rear tires and bumper shape led me to ID them as the Studebaker US6.

According to this they’re installed onto American trucks so yeah, they’re US6’s

“American lend lease trucks” was the same caption I was getting on every Russian site as well, so I assume it’s featured in whatever archive these photos come from. So yeah, not sure how useful this would be in-game, considering it doesn’t really patch any holes, but interesting nonetheless.

Additionally, the Panzer 747 (r) is a 76 mm F-34 piece of junk. In order for it to be a ‘better version of the soviet equipment’, it would need to be armed with a KwK 40 at the minimum to be better than the soviet equivalent T-34E STZ or the KwK 43 to be better than the T-34-100. Same thing with the Panzer 756 (r). It would need to be armed with the 128 mm K.40 to surpass the KV 122…As for the post-war aircraft, AFAIAC Germany ceased to exist after 1945 with the occupational regime & EU. I don’t know & could care less about whatever capability the ‘EU zone central europe F-19⅜ stupidity’ receives in this game
I would say that gaijin better model it realistically with horrible weapon accuracy & no turret traverse since the americans trashed it by yanking the turret around by the cannon
Perhaps for a cute Panzer II F:
Lots of people opposed that…The only thing that Sweden should have received in the game is a pile of inanimate plates:
We are currently missing the definitive, most massed produced variant for the Germans and yet there is already coveting for a soviet example to which gaijin will probably respond with an Ausf. G for the soviets and not the Germans, despite this topic:
+1 because I love conflict.

I am fine with this if Germany receives captured IS-2, T-34-85, KV-1, T-34
and east german S-300, BMP-2 and T-55M
Also Panzer VII Lowe and me262 HG3 (soyuz fair equivalents)
S-300 was returned to the USSR also Lowe doesn’t exist, not even a little bit, same goes for 262 HG3.
it was tested so is fine comrade
What was tested?
The Soviets deployed their own S-300 to East Germany and operated by GSFG, not Germany. The most they could get is the S-200 which was a stationary battery.
I really say No to another copy paste. “captured vehicles” btw never been added in the regular trees, just check and you’ll notice they’re all premium. If all countries have to receive captured vehicles we will end with copy paste everywhere (and not only tanks). I guess there are enough of them in the game

i like big tank
Here’s a thought for a realistic flavor if you want to add a Tiger II to the Soviet lineup: It can only move 30 seconds at a time until it breaks down for 60 seconds of repair. The Germans had difficulty with their own maintenance of this vehicle, does anyone think captured types could do any better but with NO spare parts available? Please, not another copy/paste.

Literally every German tank during World War 2.

I’ve been sick of copy-paste all the way back when we simply referred to them as captured vehicles. Might as well have a Tiger or Tiger II in every tree. Why even have trees? Just have a single unspecified tree that follows technological progression.

So, should the US and Britain get king tigers 2? They probably captured some after the war. The Soviet tree would probably be full of German and Us vehicles if captured vehicles are added to a nation. I think gaijin only adds captured vehicles are premiums anyway since otherwise there would be no point to tech trees at all

The US did end up capturing a couple, one was even operated for a bit until it broke down and was later recovered, shipped back to the US, and placed on display sans its left side armor. England captured a couple as well including the V2 Prototype which is being restored to running condition at Bovington
which annoyingly cant be added to the game as some how the museum owns the copyright to that specific tank. They didnt make it! they dont own the makers! how can one copyright a tank they didnt even capture!?

Copyright is a strange beast to understand; it’s less about them copyrighting the design and the Tiger I/Tiger II V2 themselves, and more about them copyrighting the specific Tanks in question. Hence, “Tiger 131” is copyrighted, whereas Tiger 132 isn’t. Its strange, but IG with it being so iconic its understandable
