Lack of German AA in Rank II

While playing Germany I’ve noticed one thing in rank 2, and that’s the lack of SPAA’s. All we have is the Sd.Kfz.251/21. Me personally I think the Sd.Kfz.7/1 would be the perfect gap filler in the TT because the vehicle before it is an lightly armored Halftrack and the Vehicle in front of it has quad 20 mm guns, and the Sd.Kfz.7/1 is a mix of the 2.
I see someone has already suggested that it gets added, so do y’all devs have any plans to at least fill the gap?

yea and its ammunition shreds low tier planes. Can argue that the ostwind (the real one not the fake ostwind 2) should be moved down to rank 2 as it fits the pz4 long gun lineup perfectly tho

It should not be moved to Rank II, it alreqdy sits at 3.3 for the lineup anyway. There are many other Rank II possibilities, be it DB L4500A with 20-50mm guns or the Sd.Kfz.7/1 and /2.
Nerfing the revenue of the Ostwind and overall the Rank II nerf to tasks is just bad.

Do we have a good one? Yes. However that’s not what this post is about. It’s about variety, which we have none of. This vehicle would be a great addition to the game as it was quite common being found in Battalion Staff Company’s.

The Ostwind II is not “fake”. A single prototype did exist but it was only used for training. The Ostwind Ost however is fake as since it was a prototype it would never get a battle scarred look with kill count decals on it. I would like it if they removed it from the pack (those who already have it get to keep it) and replace it with a Wirbelwind.

The ostwind 2 in game actually is fake, the guns were over under not next to each other

Except they werent, you talk about the Flak 43 Zwilling, however the Ostwind II had the Flak 44 (Gerät 342) which were Flak 43 reworked for side by side vehicle mounting, with fall appart ammo frames.

Care to show a picture ive genuinely never seen one

There dont appear to be any pictures of the ostwind II, but otherwise documentation, already on this forum.

Honestly i was more hoping for an ostwind pic, appreciate the effort anyway
