Tankdesigner - major design flaw ?

[George Smith Patton jr.]

I've been thinking of writing this in Bug Reports or Suggestions - but it doesn't look like a bug, nor is it an idea for anytime soon.
It looks like they've forgotten that in the tank designer....

It seems that it is not possible to convert captured tanks to other type of tracked vehicles - not even the own ones.

There where hundreds if not thousands of light tanks converted....

4,7-cm-Pak 36(t) Pz I Ausf. B into Panzerjäger I / 202 converted
4,7-cm-Pak 36(t) Pz 35 Renault (f) /174 converted
7,5-cm-Pak 40/1 Lorraine-L37 – Marder I / 170 converted
7,5-cm-Pak 40/1 Hotchkiss H39 ) – Marder I / 60 converted
7,5-cm-Pak 40/1 FCM 36(f) – Marder I/ 36 converted
Pz II into Panzerjäger Marder II/ 900+ converted
Panzerjäger 38(t) 7,62-cm-Pak 36 – Marder III/ 344 converted
Panzerjäger 38(t) für 7,5-cm-Pak 40 Ausf. H – Marder III / 450 converted
Panzerjäger 38(t) für 7,5-cm-Pak 40/3 Ausf. M – Marder III / 940 converted
Panzerjäger Hornisse/Nashorn 8,8 cm Pak 43/41 Pz III/IV / 494 converted
10,5-cm-leFH on Char B 1, Lorraine 37L, Lorraine 37L, Hotchkiss 38 H, FCM 36 / ~250 converted
15-cm-sIG 33 on 38 (t) / ~ 400 converted

All Tank Chassis should be convertable.....why is the Tank Designer not able to do that?
