They key word here is “could”. Plus there were only two prototypes giving gaijin more than enough of an excuse to chuck this behind another grindfest
That isn’t true. In this thread you will find people being against putting Russian vehicles in other nations, and there are more threads about this exact topic.
King Tiger to Sweden is not OK, and don’t act like it is.
No it shouldn’t. Russia has plenty of domestic vehicles, and the last thing we need is iconic German tanks being put in opposing nation.
Why have nation trees at all?

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.

cough
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.
