Thinking about doing the Panzer 38(t) next

I know I would support it for the roof MG alone, but I assume you’ve already looked into the SHVAK-modified R35 and Panzerbefehlswagen I?
There is also ZiS-5 truck with MG151 Drilling and US6 truck with Flak 38 that would be cool not just as unique captured pieces but also for reinforcement of the SPAA line that Soviet options simply can’t provide.

US6 truck with Flak 38, I’m intrigued. Also yes I’ve done quite a bit of work into different unique modifications and have some work written down in notes, those take a bit more time, like one I’ve had going for awhile is the T-34-88 which btw was passed for Germany which is awesome, I have one pending for the Soviets now since his post was able to provide me with the ammunition it was able to fire.

so has captured one or two king tiger afther war and u want to add in tech tree or what? first look the winrate germany have worst winrate in this tier… how?
There are two near identical photos I can share in a few hours when I get home from work; unfortunately not a Flakvierling, but I suppose with the discovery of the Soviet T-34 SPAAG conversion that niche can be satisfied as well.
There was more than one or two captured albeit in various conditions and some even pushed into service for a short time, most were scrapped and used for testing and study, this goes for most German vehicles especially after the Soviets pushed Germany out of Czechoslovakia and Latvia.
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.
