this may sound like i’m going insane but hear me out.

Why is there a captured Bf-109 (Bf-109-F4) in the us air tree but no captured Panzer IVs, Tigers, or Panther?

JagdPanzer IV (Captured)

There were plenty of these clutttered around so why not add them?

are we serious yall voted no a ton do you just not like captured vehicles? (if you do not, that is ok.)

yeah people dont like captured vehicles that why everyone voted no

for me i just dont want germany to become any less special than it is now, theres already a panzer 4 in 2 more tts, a tiger in 3 more tts, panther in 2 more tts, and the main attraction for germany is in almost every tech tree now

Tech tree identity is already pretty diluted with all the copy-paste stuff, so it makes sense why people wouldn’t want Germany losing what makes it unique. but Germany is already unique no?

No, I think it’s primarily because America didn’t really use German tanks that they captured. American vehicles like the Sherman already preformed well so I doubt America would field more complex tanks like captured tigers and panthers. The most they probably had were vehicles like StuGs.

half half, the most unique stuff is in the ww2 tiers, but not that many people care about that. the only toptier unique tanks are pumas, wiesels, anti air, radkampfwagen. every country except for usa russia and china has a leo2

No, I think it’s primarily because America didn’t really use German tanks that they captured.

Proof?

The first step in recovery is to stop. Just say no to copypaste spam.

It kinda opens a crate of worms since ww2 alone saw so many vehicles captured, especially at the end.

yeah i don’t likd copy paste stuff either. sim is already a friendly fire nightmare

Surely we should add more slop into the game and make nations like Germany less unique.

Let’s just go wild then. Basically every Sherman to Germany every kv1 every low tier Soviet tank every British tank basically everything 🤷‍♀️

Theses are stupid ideas.

Almost none did (apart from a few like the Soviets and Germans although I don’t agree in any way with regular captured vehicles. Only the modfied type)

Nobody is asking to copy-paste entire rosters into the regular tech tree. There’s a massive difference between mass tech-tree slop and unique, historically documented vehicles being added as one-off event rewards or rare premiums. Germany already has plenty of captured stuff anyway, it’s about unique historical context, not flooding the game with lazy filler like the Sky Odyssey event where basically most of the tanks there were copy and paste.

They didn’t. The tanks the Americans captured were either destroyed. This happened a lot post war see the jagdtigers. Or were sent back to the USA for evaluation and research.

If they add captured vehicles, they should be extremely rare and limited. Maybe only to long term players or in giveaway style events. That would reflect the nature of a captured vehicle on a ww2 battlefield. They were not mass producing this stuff

And? its better than a fake tank that got removed on the 1st of september

What are all unique (apart from the Churchill should be removed or giving domestic German ammo.)

There really isn’t apart from you are turning slop additions into something that can be monitized and take the uniqueness from Germany or USSR or anything away.

They are just bad ideas. Regular captured vehicles do not have a place.
