Wonderful!
Does this apply to small arms / heavy machineguns, at-rifles and light mortars / at-guns and howitzers / vehicles / tanks?
My guess is only for the first two categories above, since the rest would be taken out from the battlefield like in GTOS...

Just to let you know Andrey, "trophies" would be better translated into English as "captured enemy equipment" (or captured enemy weapons). It just reads better and makes more sense that way in English. I recommend changing the term trophies in game, to that or something similar.

What about "trophy teams", what is the English term for this? And is "gathering of captured equipment" correct? Or maybe it should be "collecting of..."?

I have to differ on that Tanker - I fully understand Trophy being 'Trophy of War' IIRC the term 'Prize of War' was in 'official' use in the UK Navy by the time of Nelson. (It may have been earlier) Historically 'trophy' comes from the Ancient world:- re wikipedia: - In ancient Greece and Rome, military victories were commemorated with a display of captured arms and standards. A trophy (from the Greek tropaion) was originally a war memorial assembled from such items on a battlefield. The Roman triumph also displayed these items as well as cultural objects, which later came to be called war trophies. Body parts of slain enemies have sometimes served as trophies since antiquity, in a practice called human trophy collecting. The recovery of Roman eagles taken as trophies by enemy forces sometimes inspired years of added warfare.

Hi Andrey,
You mentioned as used in the latest GTOS patch but I've never seen the use of captured enemy weapons. Is there a setting to enable this?.
Kind regards
Aces
Edit: Actually I do recall seeing the Russians using captured German halftracks but never noticed any other weapons and small arms.

I'm far from native english speaker, but I think that trophy is more of a show-off thing that is not meant for actual use. You could say that americans in wwII collected pistols like Luger or swords like katana as trophies, for example. Better term would indeed be captured weapons/equipment. Anyway, there's so many bad translations in the game that I wouldn't even notice. With all respect.

I think modern sports have altered the word trophy lately.
Most people now associate a trophy as something awarded to display for winning a sporting event.
I understand what it means in the game but I still translate it as captured enemy weapons for use as opposed to an award or a display.

The recovery of Roman eagles taken as trophies by enemy forces sometimes inspired years of added warfare. Chaska, a MG-42 or a Panzer IV salvaged from the battlefield and used against the enemy by the Soviets is a far cry from a cultural object or enemy body parts paraded through the imperial captial. Your use of trophy in that instance is correct. If every weapon captured in the game was paraded through Red Square on May 1, I'd agree that trophies was the best choice. Google translator has lead GT astray in applying it to captured and reused enemy weapons. Also you're not writing for people from the time of Nelson, you're writing for modern English speakers. Take it from me, it is very strange to use the word trophy in the sense it is being used in the game. I've been using English for a very long time, almost my whole life .

Either gathering or collecting would be correct. The use of the word "of" in that phrase is more subtle. I can only give examples. You would say "The soldiers were gathering enemy weapons after the battle." You would not say, "The soldiers were gathering "of" enemy weapons after the battle. Similarly you could say The gathering of weapons was a policy(passive voice) or Gathering weapons was a policy(active voice) Sorry if I offered an overly complicated answer. But basically gathered or collected would be correct. Describe what you mean by "trophy teams". Are you talking about teams composed of the best members?

Its present only if it used in real world (we know) in this place. In Shilovo Germans are rarely used SVT rifle.

The game has two kinds of "trophies" - captured (in statistics), and captured to be used directly for rearmament if needed. The first is called the "captured". How to name the second one (preferably one word)?

"трофейная команда" in Russian, soldiers who collect and sort weapons after the battle. This is a temporary organizational structure.

Alternately the words salvaged or recovered, while not perfect could describe weapons gathered from the battlefield, but they could be either friendly or enemy.

Alternately the words salvaged or recovered, while not perfect could describe weapons gathered from the battlefield, but they could be either friendly or enemy. Space (2 words max ) and difference for player - one is statistic other can be used. P.S. I think we can use COLLECTED for second category (captured and sorted by types)? P.P.S In Russian "trophy" is right word for both: captured tank and reindeer antlers on the wall. And "capture" in most cases is a word for process to get trophy

The use of the word "of" in that phrase is more subtle. I can only give examples. Thanks. I mean this sentence: "It is planned to add gathering of trophies by trophy teams after a battle and their subsequent distribution to platoons by the following rules". So, it should be "It is planned to add enemy weapons gathering by collection teams after the battle...", am I correct?
