Trading Military Factories

[Mirage11]

The Devs have stated that exporting weapons will only be possible through lend and lease in the initial release, but what if you could trade your weapon factories for ressources or even civilian factories (of other countries) similar to how you can trade your civilian factories for ressources.
How difficult would it be to mod something like this?

as far as i am aware of it you can gift other countries a fixed amount of equipment or a percantage of you montly production. So maybe it isn´t weapon trading but you should able to equip your minor friends in a mulitplayer round.

trading in civilian factories /kind/ of has an effect on your military factories, seeing as you need civilian factories to build military ones. nothing like what you describe however

I highly dislike the idea of being able to trade military factories. The Lend-Lease option ingame is sufficient in my eyes, especially since much more would end up in very exploitable tactics in multiplayer for example, which is the reason why you cant simply embargo as you wish, but need national focuses for that aswell.

Only thing that comes remotely close to your idea would be the commonwealth for example. The UK can activate national focuses that build civilian and i think military factories in the commonwealth countries like canada and australia.

Weapons trading and licenced production was a global industry in the lead up to and during this period, but we won't have the ability to trade resources or anything else for weapons in the game. Allowing the trading of military factories would be a small improvement in terms of allowing things like the Romanians trading oil to the Germans in exchange for weapons. The Germans certainly did not gift weapons to the Romanians, which is all we'd be able to do in game.

I fully agree. Trading is a major concern with the game. Even nowadays, for examples, Saudi Arabia (which is a very wealthy country) can't develop sophisticated weapons such as fighters and buys them on the market. There are only few countries that have the know how, facilities, size and technology which can develop some weapons.

You can only use civilian factories to trade for resources.
