Oerlikon GDF-D03 "Escorter"

An elegant spaa. +1

The image below shows a GDF-CO3 tracked prototype, built without the search radar and constructed on the chassis of the M548/M730. This version could serve as a lower BR version of the Escorter in War Thunder. Due to the absence of the search radar, its slower speed, and no ability to fire directly ahead, it represents a slight downgrade compared to the GDF-DO3.

P.S The specifications are available in the suggestion above.

Couldn’t this be a separate suggestion? It’s just how gajin handles suggestions with multiple specs (light AA MK1 got the 4x 7.7mm config but never got the 2x 15mm despite the both option being the most voted).

Feel free to suggest it.

Might try it, would some of the sources here work?

Yes, I believe these are the only sources out there. Feel free to attempt to find more.

Alright then, thanks for the heads up

It’s awaiting approval, thank you for the sources, I have linked your suggestion within mine.

Once again, many thanks 👍

Edit: according to one of your sources there may also be the D02 and C02 variants (if I have nothing to do, I might give those suggestions a shot).

Edit: If the secret project forums are correct, the image of the C03 would actually be a C02. Apparently the D/C indicates the hull type and 2/3 is wether it has a tracking radar or not.

Does anyone per chance have the book Jane’s armour and artillery 1983-84? According to the secret project forum, it showed the designations and variants of the GDF variants. I’m wondering if in the book, there is more information on the C02 and D02. If there are specifications, I can try and make 2 more suggestions on those two variants.

I do, this is the section on the self-propelled GDF systems.

Thank you so much for this. I’ll see if I can make the other variants a suggestion if my first one passes.

I declare that German wheeled vehicles are the greatest in the world

There’s also a section on it from Jane’s Land-Based Air Defence 1989-90, I hope this has helped!

This is beautiful, now Gaijin has all they need for this vehicle, even the interior.

My suggestion has been edited to include new interesting details.

So my suggestion on the C02 (which was incorrectly designated as C03) is no longer pending but I got no message on its status.
