Interchangeable parts
First of all, apologies if this has been asked/answered before.

Wouldn't it be great if we could share parts of vehicles from the same design family? For example, the Pz III-J, Pz III-M and Stug III are all based on the same Pz III chassis, so I would expect at least some of the wheels, engine parts etc. to be interchangeable. It's a bit silly that I have several road wheels for a Pz IIIJ in stock but I need to buy ones for the IIIM, even though they are identical. (By the way, I was able to use a track section of a KV-1 on a T34/76 but I'm not sure if that is intentional or a bug.)

Also weird is the fact that the spare Pz III-J road wheel that is mounted lying flat on top of the mud guard is not interchangeable with the ones on the tracks. My guess would be that this has to do with the difference in orientation of the wheel models, but still...

Any plans to address this? Not that it's really necessary to mix and match while we're all swimming in cash and unlimited spare parts are available for every vehicle, but maybe it will be once the economics game is improved (i.e., made more of a challenge, more satisfying to finally scrounge together enough parts from different-but-similar wrecks to build your first Frankenpanzer).

Hi!

Yep, we tried to implement such system before, but it was not working properly. We will probably make another attempt in the future.

About economical part - You are right, this needs a rework too.
