I think captured weapons need to be carefully reconditioned to be useful. And that is not for a company or battalion to do.

its not possible as you cant "capture" enemy equipment, but if you want them, just click the place labeled allies in the buy screen, then click the place labeled allied, it you now show captured, thats what you want, now choose a nation and buy

In general, using captured equipment is frowned upon because, well it looks and sounds like an enemy unit. It's more of a problem with tanks and vehicles than guns. No matter how you paint it, on a dark night, someone will think it belongs to the enemy and pop it. Even worse, you know there are captured enemy tanks in your company, battalion, regiment or what have you and non-captured ones show up and you don't shoot at them...well, you can figure that one out.

It's not as big a problem after the nation the equipment belonged to drops out of the war. The Germans used lots of tanks captured from the French.

That's why I provided the links to show that it did happen, not only in the Wehrmacht but also in the U.S. Army and the British forces.

You can't buy enemy equipment if you want to have it in your campaign core unless someone put it in the OOB.
And to have it in the campaign core is/was the point of my "brilliant" idea.

Some nations (like Germany and Nat. Chinese) have units with captured equipment in their OOBs, so on could by such units, to simulate "capture".
