I don't seem to be able to purchase wagons/trucks for captured guns.
Is that intentional? Or am I doing something wrong?

For example in which scenario ?Korvessa wrote:I don't seem to be able to purchase wagons/trucks for captured guns.

Re: Winter War - no transport for captured guns?
Raate road i presume. Yes, the gun you get from that scenario is pretty useless as it doesn't supoort transport. It's an oversight.

Wasn't there some arty reward in "Raate Road"? Couldn't upgrade it with some transport either.
Checking...Yes, the 122mm, there she is. The unit could have transport per definition, but because of the "noPurchase" trait there's probably no way for the player to upgrade it with transports.

Raate Road :
Capture Equipment:
- 45mm m1937 Finland
- 122mm m1938 Finland (transport required
)
No Transport in this scenario with the 122mm m1938 Finland. This unit is useless without transport.

- 45mm m1937 Finland
- 122mm m1938 Finland (transport required

Yes, those are the ones, they OK for defensive scenarios - but otherwise useless as notedterminator wrote:Raate Road :

In the file units.csv, it is specified that a transport is required for the 122mm m1938 Finland. For me it can be considered a bug.Korvessa wrote:Yes, those are the ones, they OK for defensive scenarios - but otherwise useless as noted
For the 45mm m1937 Finland, the transport is not essential. But as it is a unit bonus would maybe be good to have this optionel transport ?
A transport for both units would be fair.
In the scenario Dunkirk (Blitzkrieg DLC), you can obtain two "Bounty Hunters" ("We have captured British vehicles and equipment") : QF2 Pounder and 40mm Bofors. These two units have the same transport : Bren 731(e).
