Germany gets 38(t)'s with Czech take-over?

Ah ok, that seems like a good thing together with the manual modifications made with earned army experience this should be fine

It'll be something, I'm not sure it will make huge changes with the current rate of xp gain. But modders will likely make historic tank stats.

@edowie @No idea @Leinad965 @The Albatross Okay, Daniel aka Da9L confirmed that captured equipment is actually in now. He built tank divisions with captured equipment exclusively, but planes and ships cant be captured, only equipment. I guess we will see more features that were originally not planned for the initial release in the game, due to the delay.

After watching the latest WWW #7 with the USSR almost conquered, here are more questions about captured 'stuff';
1. What happens to captured MIL and CIV factories?
2. Can the 'new owner' capture the various manufacturing organisations - e.g the Klementi Voroshilov - KV Tank bureau.
3. What happens to the locomotives and rail-cars from the Lend Lease arrivals before the GER conquest.
4. Any additional supply points/dumps that help the invader?

Struth - Daniel certainly went through USSR like a knife through butter, didn't he?

1. Captured factories get, well, captured and can be used by the occupant. It should be noted tho, that depending on your occupation policies you can use less or more of those factories. Harsher policies will cause more resistance, which can and will damage or destroy those factories, so if you cant get it under controll with MP (military police) you will end up with alot of destroyed stuff.

2. No you cant. Podcat mentioned it, but capturing companies doesnt work, unless they changed that at some point.

3. There are no locomotives or rail-cars. There are only convoys (ships) which also function as your transport ships for troops. Lend Lease itself can probably be captured just as the regular equipment aswell, but you certainly wont get all the equipment of the enemy of course.

4. Supply "depots" exist, just as in HoI III, in your capital and can be captured. Supply always travels from your capital to the supply zones. If the connection to that gets cut off the game automaticly uses the second best source. That is to prevent the supply grid colapsing once the capital falls like it was in HoI III.

This is sweet! Thank you Paradox for adding this historically accurate in depth feature. Too bad you don't get a certain percentage of planes and ships. Did the Germans not get any French aircraft and shipping? I know they did not get French warships, the British took care of those in N Africa. I would say for example if Germany takes France, they should get a percentage of Ships and Planes. If not warships at least French freighters.

planes fall into the equipment category. They are equipment. With that said i dont know if they are captureable or not. As for ships you can argue that they are either fled or sunk before the germans could capture them. Realism aside balancing is an huge deal aswell. Imagine germany getting all those convoys from occupied countries. They would get so many that they never have to produce any of their own, let alone being worried that they would run out.

As supplies are not stockpiled I don't think that you can capture a depot in the same way as in HOI3. Talking a "depot" will certainly make stuff bad for your opponent, but I am not sure if you can instantly make use of it.
