This is not the Zerstörer 45 the Mobelwage chassis was only used for testing of the guns and never designated nor met to be the Flakpanzer IV 3cm Flakvierling (Zerstörer 45), the programme was to upgrade the wirbelwind by changing the guns from the quad 20mm to the quad 30mm, and as you can see the Mobelwage don’t meet the requirements set by the programme.
Now ppl will say Gaijin went with what was actually built yes but the all documents says that the Mobelwage was only for testing and it say “its was first built on the Mobelwage chassis for testing purposes” and it never says that it was only built on the Mobelwage giving the meaning that Mobelwage used first to test the guns then it was transferred to be put in a wirbelwind turret, in the other docs we can only see illustration of what the Zerstörer 45 is supposed to look like but in the fifth one we can see under prototypes that there is at least one Zerstörer 45 was actually built (the upgraded wirbelwind and not the Mobelwage).
Now someone ppl will argue that it may not be completely finished others will say Gaijin went with what was confirmed to be built all argument are correct but let’s us not forget that Gaijin them selves added some unfinished and fake vehicles and ofc these vehicles come to the game with in their full production and final forms for example:
- LAV-AD it suppose to have 7 rockets but Gaijin give it a pod with 19 rockets.
-
Yak 141 it was introduced with it’s full capabilities yet irl it lacks some avionics systems and most of it’s armament.
-
Ho-229 irl it never used it guns.
-
Ostwind II there is almost no proof it was built accept for some description on how it’s supposed to look like.
-
Tog II Gaijin add it to the game in its final form
-
R2Y2s and HO-RI production all of them weren’t even built but yet thay still be added for the purpose of closing gaps.
-
Kronshtadt it wasn’t even finished irl yet Gaijin still added in its final production form.
So with all of this why the Zerstörer 45 wasn’t added in it’s final form, bc apparently Gaijin doesn’t care about what was actually built so why the Zerstörer 45 got it’s right to be in its final forms stripped away and all we got is the Mobelwage chassis with the quad 30mm that was only used for testing and never ment to be used nor set to be the final production form.
So some ppl will not care and won’t see it as a problem nor a priority for me and maybe for some other ppl i see this as some kind of double standards and in my opinion we should get the real Zerstörer 45 the real flakpanzer IV 3cm Flakvierling.
So my idea is this:
Gaijin ether remove the fake Zerstörer 45 and replace it with the real one in its final production form or they change the name to it’s proper name which will be ether 3 cm Flakvierling auf Fahrgestell Panzerkampfwagen IV (Sf) or Möbelwagen mit 3 cm Flakvierling and then add the Zerstörer 45 some time later.
So i the end this is only a discussion and ofc my thoughts and ideas aren’t perfect so i would like to here other ppl thoughts on this subject.
