It is still a captured vehicle and would be silly to say it isnt when it is. Im just happy gaijin decided to add them after germany mounted different guns instead of pure copy paste but they are still captured.
Thats different. Its not a singular captured tank.
After France surrendered, Ger just integrated some of the french army equipment into their ranks. In case of that addition they even refitted them with german guns to enhance the combat value.
Same happens to the Panzer 38t. After Czechoslovakia surrendered, they just integrated it into German army. Same also happened after Fall Achse, as Germany occupied Italy and took over alot italian equipment.
Im just saying they still are captured vehicles. And imo the best example of captured vehicles because they are unique. Gaijin definitely has been adding captured vehicles in recent years but it seems they are trying to add them to nations without actual options for standard TT fillers. The new mini puma fills the gap the puma originally did when it was 2.7 now for something at 5.x
So all marders are captured vehicles aswell or all tanks based on the pz38? All these tanks are heavily modified and I would claim the new pak car aswell because of the new turret
Technically they are captured still. Thats what they were if the chassis were used. Its just a differing opinion on our views of captured vehicles.
This is technically seen wrong as there is not a single 3.7 fighter in the German TT. The event Bv 155 at 3.7 needs a very specific play style to make it work - whilst using anything with center mounted 20 mm ShVaks guarantees kills at these BRs.
Imho a 109 F-2 with the Galland modification (replacing the 7,92 with 2 13 mm MG 131 at a BR of 3.7 and with rank III would be a great event fighter.
But i expect that we will see sooner or later another P-51 B/C clone:

Its not. Its an official unit of the German Wehrmacht, taken from french depots to the dozens and put into a plant to refit them.
Its a difference when a few guys recover an abanonded enemy tank and use it within their unit until it breaks down.
Again difference of our version of Captured vehicles, its fine to see it that way but i personally dont.
Even if you think both are captured vehicles, the ones with no or minor modifications (e. g. german KV2, T-34 and Churchill, US Bf109 and fw-190, USSR Fw 190, panther and panzer 3, the swedish tiger 2p) are simply bad and simply ruin trees while for example something like the marders are totally different and are unique to a nation. Like the 50mm pak car wouldnt even exist without germany.
And just mentioning I am talking about captured vehicles in limited numbers. Not service vehicles with multiple serving for that country. I exclude vehicles like the french panther which were multiple in service after ww2
Oh we’ve talked on this matter amd i agree its why i wish gaijin would add unique models when possible.
the Kungstiger was a bad addition but given the KV-1B qas the only other heavy tank that could’ve been added with finland being denied i very much believe the Kungstiger was added in place of the KV-1B, but this is going off topic more lol.
well it used to cost around 1700 GE, but back in 2013 Gaijin in one patch gave La-5FN absolutely insanely broken UFO flight model (both, russian TT version & german premium) and instead of rushing to fix it they tripled the price of premium version. This made it at the time THE most expensive premium vehicle in game by a lot and 12 years later it is still massively overpriced compared to vehicles with similar BR/rank … basically you’re paying 3k+ GE surcharge for a bug that was fixed 12 years ago

there kind of is in the BF110 G series, they were strike interceptors after all. not what you mean but there is still something which is very capable at the BR
Would love to see that. We need more modifications of BF109s in WT, bit like how there was a lot more clipped wing spits with the different wing armament layouts which are missing. massively important vehicles.
a P51 would be a decent but very lazy addition
They do the German Mig-21SPSK for the Mig-21s first flight too. And they gave a discount on The Japanese F-4EJ ATDW for Australia day which is odd for several reasons.
Gaijin has some weird ideas.
Huh, neat; I’ll admit I completely forgot the anniversary was yesterday. That said, the thing that always surprises me about the La-5 is the Soviets ended up building ~9000 of them, which is pretty impressive. Despite the ~9000+ built, there’s only a single remaining example of the La-5 left in existence.
Well, In War Thunder history at Gaijin’s History Book. it seems the RAFwaffe didn’t exist at all.

gaijin knows all those planes would go up un BR considerably so wont dare
If I have 5K GEs I would wait until the sale to buy a higher ranking vehicle which would be at least useful for grinding…
If i have to pay for this i’ll keep playing with the Soviet one instead. Same plane.
