Maybe a Vb with deteriorated engines.

Like @Real_K_Soze said, they were basically given to the USSR after extensive first hand use.
By that time the aircraft was severely outclassed by Bf 109s and Fw 190s.

I‘m all for having Soviet „lend lease“ vehicles in the Russian tech tree.

Even though WT is just a vehicle game nowadays.

If the game had that kind of detail I’d be ok with it, but it’s just another statistic they need to look at to balance vehicles, probably not a good idea.

Not really a problem.

Also would make it more unique.

WT doesn’t model anything like that as far as I know.

So… hard disagree.

Technically they do because you can just not have the engine upgrade unlocked.

So when you never have a new engine the engine upgrade also doesn’t make sense.

Still a weird idea, they received new Merlin Engines and Parts for their aircraft through lend lease program, so even if they received airframes with older engines they were always able to swap them.

I’m sure this is also true for tanks, trucks and vessels.

completely unnecessary the russians dont need a spit for lend lease yall already have yaks at these brs that are mind numbly easy to fly well you dont need any of britains spit fires

-1 copy paste premiums dont belong in game

It’s not about needs but wants, it’s a historic piece that took its place in the Soviet arsenal, would sit great in a 4.7 line up with the T-34-57 (both), Su-100Y and a Soviet Churchill.

no one else gets wants in there tree but russia so no

What?

its only russia that gets massive amounts of stuff they dont need like hanomag 45 for example millions of GAZ AAs but they go and give them a german SPAA

“If i can get what i want you can’t either” XD

yeah it keeps it fair for all trees

You have no proof this even exists

What are you even talking about

it quite literally does if it was the way you wanted half of italian and france ground would be in the german tree

Are you ok

You seem a bit off

Like what are you talking about

He’s arguing trophy vehicles from the post-armistice from Italy and the occupation of France which I personally don’t like to put in the same category as leased equipment, I don’t think Gaijin does either since they tend to add lease vehicles every so often and deleted tons of captured assets from the CDK years back, though those are added less frequently than leased equipment still.
