VT4 will go a long way too. Nothing says they can’t have both… Well besides Gaijin of course.

Yeah, I think Poland is in a very strange place in the sense it doesn’t make any sense or has any space in any of the existing tech trees, so it would need a new tech tree to be added for it to be implemented. I think Poland as a tech tree, with a Czechoslovakian subtree would be a decent idea for a new tech tree, they could also do Yugoslavia with Romanian and Bulgarian subtrees. I think these would be as successful/viable as the smaller Swedish tree and more functional than the questionable Israeli tree. However, I don’t see Gaijin adding new tech trees anytime soon. Focus seems to be on modern top tier stuff (still), new infantry mode, naval fix/expansion, more vehicles and subtrees in general, then the next tech tree seems to be a united Korean one, so only after all this can we realistically expect Poland and then later Yugoslavia. Unfortunately that might still mean waiting for years, unless they drastically speed up or shift priorities.

But why would the UK need/want a captured German Me 210, over say, something actually British? I mean just grind out the German or Hungarian Me 210 if you want to play it that much, it’s low tier and takes like a few hours at most.

I mean, it’s not the same, but it’s the best you can do.

The missing performance is more than that. It’s about half from what I have seen.

Absolutely not

Captured vehicles shouldn’t be added unless they’ve been significantly modified

You sure? Fairly certain the figures i’ve seen currently its around 15-18km (though the seeker performance makes even those shots unrealistic to actually do)

But everyone else gets captured things!

Though the Me 210 would be interesting, we should wait for the Pucara to come for the first proper captured plane for the RAF ;)

Yeah tbh will go back to grinding Japan

Need? Console players cannot access WT.Live and thus cannot have access to a user skin of a RAF ME-210 also it would mean gaijin is not (in this instance) breaking their word

Want? Because RAFwaffe is a very highly requested set of vehicles.

125lb warhead launched at mach .9 at a little under 9km should fly 22-23 kms ground. Although you are right it is hard to display these numbers with the terrible seeker performances. (Still waiting on the E2/L seeker fix)

I don’t care how many captured vehicles there already are, they are terrible additions

Copy-paste already is bad enough and captured vehicles just take that issue to another level

Not to mention how incredibly problematic they are in sim

Fully agree, which is why it’s so obnoxious that the Finnish subtree is filled with captured vehicles… as researchables, while for example their domestic aircraft are premiums. Gaijin fumbling domestic Finnish aircraft and Hungarian tanks as premiums/battle pass/events was so stupid and needs to be undone/corrected.

If I see your list of unlocked vehicles, I will almost surely see a captured vehicle in it.

With so much stuff missing, and not enough space for half of it already. I dont want to see stuff that can be acquired by simply playing another TT

The C&P just seems to get worse every update.

Yeah…

Hey man, as someone who used to be a hardcore sim player for ground, I agree, I always supported the requests from players to ban copy-paste vehicles from sim.

Though FR, a UK Pucara would just be funi to see the anger German mains have over the subject.

They want for UK players is a want for captured vehicles something every other nation has in WT.

Event if the aircraft in question probably low on the list of wants and is only being asked about because Gaijin is C&P it to everyone.
