# Circuit / Game Version [2.5.1.138]

1.A detailed description of the issue you have encountered. It is also important that you describe how we can reproduce the issue, if you are able to reproduce it.

The Begleitpanzer 57 in game is using the incorrect engine and outputting the incorrect engine power in game. The Begleitpanzer, TAM, and (VCTP which we dont have in game) all share the same chassis on top of using the the same engine allowing a output of 720 BHP.

In game the Begleitpanzer 57 is using the basic Marder engine which is incorrect,it should be using the same identical engine that is found on the TAM as the actuall protoype was built using the TAM chassis.

2. If applicable, the full name(s) of the vehicle(s) affected.

Begleitpanzer 57

3.A detailed description of the fix you suggest. Provide sources including references that underline your position. This is up to the discretion of the Technical Moderator handling the report, however the number of sources required depends on the type of source presented:

The fix I would suggest is to copy over the engine data that is used on the TAM and paste it over to the Begleitpanzer 57.

The TAM recently also received a new engine sounds with the turbocharge whine audible that also needs to be copied over for the Begleitpanzer 57.

4.Please attach screenshot(s) and/or video(s) showing the issue in game.

Begleitpanzer Primary source, official brochure

Below I have provided pictures of primary source documents from Rheinstahl AG.

The Begleitpanzer 57 was intended to use the Marder chassis (diagram1), but this was abandoned for the TAM chassis (diagram 2) which uses a supercharged engine providing 720hp on top of being reinforced to handle the recoil of a bigger gun.

I have also provided below a historical source pictures regarding the Begleitpanzer that clearly shows the TAM chassis was used for the one and only working prototype that was built and then tested in live firing trials in 1977.

Upon request I can provide more pictures if needed but I think this should be sufficient.
