Kronshdaht was never finished either and its in the game same with hori r2y2 etc its far more likely as it was planned but cancled as she was sunk as a blockade ship by hitler
Kronstradt met the criteria to be added to the game.
Naval has less tight rules.
Kronshtadt has its finalized design, so did O-klasse. Not case for Gneisenau refit. Need of bow change arise, though nothing left how much it should change.
I love the Ikv 72, so despite it being 99% the same as the one in game, i would love the Ikv 72B.
The only change was a slightly modified steering gear, a copypaste sure but its a great vehicle so come on!
I didnt even know as a dutchman
I’d say these vehicles can come but as extremely limited and hard to get event vehicles.
Like in very low numbers. i.e ~100~200. Whoever’s interested can get it but wont disrupt the meta.
Following were all captured in the Cold War, Korean War or WW2/ or still operated for other reasons:
So, in that category, I’ll also put,
Tiger 131 for UK,
captured Pershing for PRC,
Tiger II for France,
Tiger II for US,
Spoiler
T-84 for US,
M60 for USSR,
Spoiler
etc, etc … more can be added to the list, as USSR and USA have captured a lot via the WW2 & Cold War
[ keeping current ongoing conflict out of this discussion ]
Would be good squadron/premium.
Really like the m60 but it isn’t different enough to be added to ussr. Seeing how they (mostly) stopped with captured stuff as premiums i don’t think we will see it in soviet tt.
Also didn’t somebody post the t-62/t-55 with m60 gun from Egypt here, that would be a lovely event for US or USSR tree.
But it literally a museum piece… by this logic Russian can get one and only Mouse, lol
So basically everybody gets a tiger, a pershing… no thanks, I think we’ve already got enough loss of uniqueness for all nations in game.
If people from Kubinka makes it drivable and repairs it gun to shoot again we can add it as 3000 dollars ussr premium.
IIRC they did conduct restoration works few years ago, restoring it mobility. No functioning gun tho for obvious reasons
As I said … in incredibly limited numbers … I repeat, not normal event or premiums… it wont be bothering regular players but the only hardcore collectors. Won’t affect the meta. Very few people will encounter them in game. Might even stay hidden in vehicle trees for normal folks.
Special event, once every year: Very tough event goals and only very few copies of the vehicle will exist. (Only the collectors or whoever interested can participate whilst others can chill n relax that period)
But will reflect the real world scenarios. ~ its not that dull if you think about it.
and yes can swap the M60 for captured Chieftain or even the M109 (photos of which exists being tested by USSR)
Can modify the above list, lots to choose from
Welcome to discuss similar situation for aircrafts as well.
I would not mind these vehicles but only if they find a way to better implement captured equipment into SIM
VBC-90
I was thinking the T26E3 or Cromwell they received during the lend lease period or even a Tiger 2. There’s an infinite pool of vehicles you can pick from when it comes to the Soviet Union.
HM Kryssare Gotland, all configurations.
it would also add the S 9 to the Swedish tree.
It would be terrible but eh, good for capping naval points like all float planes i suppose.
