In a game with tanks ONLY, they would mostly fall into the role of (very bad) scouts, but some of the ones with larger caliber guns were effective tank killers. Hell, two of the Waffentraegers are basically SPAA: the Flak Bus and the (fictional) WT E-100*.

*: the autoloading 12.8 cm gun it has was designed as an anti-aircraft gun, but like the 8.8 cm Flak 36, proved to be an effective anti-tank weapon as well, if the performance of said guns mounted on top of the Zoo Flak Tower during the Battle of Berlin is any indicator (though it’s debatable whether this was because of the guns being any good or because the tower they were on top of was completely invulnerable to anything in the Soviet arsenal).

“- currently (!), there are no plans to introduce dedicated AA vehicles”

What? Why? What the flying fuck are AA vehciles supposed to do in a fucking tank game?!

I’d love to see the Kugelblitz for tier 6. It’ll never happen, but I’d love to see the Mk103 get even more love.

Seconded. The AlphabetPanther can do wonders with the konische but it’s a ridiculously situational support sniper and flanker that gets seen way too easily. A speed buff, a viewrange buff (if you want it to do something actually resembling scouting), something to accentuate its ability to survive while it snipes would make it balanced.

I just love it for the sheer fact of clowncaring my way through victory, playing pop the corner cherry with a Obj 704 or helping flank a tank. The problem is just if anyone’s looking at you, you get hit. Full stop. Every medium has enough turret traverse to keep up with you handily.

Yep. I guess, on low tiers it just happens more, because there is less crew members, usually, and less armor.
And more machine-guns.

indeed, because it is completely impossible that WG will nerf the penetration of HESH after the changes…
Dumbass, ATM the penetration is high for a reason: to distinguish HESH from HE..When WG introduces the HESH mechanism changes I am 99,999999% sure that they will nerf the current penetration values of all 3 or 4 (or more, since Firefly branch is about to be added into the game, so 5-6 at most :D ) vehicles.

But I am not sure how the HESH with new mechanics will react with spaced armor or tracks :$
PLZ someone, enlighten me!!!

Do i see Porsche signature? Then we have another tank designed by mad scientist :P and it would have been useless ird – good that Germans got some sense after WW2 and never put that one into production.

God I would love to see the FlakPz Gepard in the game. Would be a very nice td candidate for the higher tiers. Super high rof 35mm gun (magazine/belt loaded probably) sure would give lightly armored tanks a run for their money.

SS would it be a valid vehicle or is it too new? (Based on the Leo hull).

Actually Storm made an article on that before, with changing BL-9 into D-25TA and he doubt it would be a good idea

About D-10T, 180-190 can work good.
