this turret doesnt rlly seem capable of having the 88mm tho. especially since the trunnions would not fit, which is why the other diagram shows a turret front buldge to give it the extra space needed…
although i must say this is an interesting design of turret rears
EXCUSE ME WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT???
Yes, the Germans were working on rigidly mounted guns with some kind of stabilisation in the last futile months of R&D.
is it real ?
possibly. i suspect they made fair progress from feb to may as the war ended. as long as the project didnt stop earlier
In many instances we will simply never know for sure, given how chaotic the last few months were tbh.
There’s also this.
First the Tiger II 105 shell being revised and now this
It’s funny how two vehicles that are ostensibly removed from the game still receive more care than actually obtainable ones.
If you’re going to sink limited developer resources into them, make the vehicles available. Anything less would be hypocritical.
Except it doesnt.
It would be great if they remade the model for 105 like they are with the other tiger 2s and made it available for one last time through that (or even bring it back permanently? Maybe yearly like the maus?)
I know, I was just pointing out that’s one tiger 2 we could get. It’s at least on the wooden mockup level.
nah
“Gaijin want war thunder to be realistic.”
HAH! Good joke. This line of thought would work if they actually made changes they for some reason reverted back on like the APHE change, crew stun, hullbreak, larger maps, spawn camping fix. As it is now this game is as realistic as WoT, but with semi-realistic damage models. I’m not making an excuse, however, it’s a game and it should meet that middle ground of being immersive but also fun.
I’m still for them, because it gives more unique options rather than C&P. It doesn’t necessarily mean adding every idea someone thought of that wasn’t even written & drawn or straight up made up vehicles like WoT does. I would happily take the coelian for a 6.7 German line-up SPAA or then the Italian P.43 heavy tank rather than another sherman. They were as close to reaching the battlefield irl as much as smth like the T34 ever was (which is in the TT)
That is to say the T34 never was put on the field, yet in WT it can because it’s a game. If you consider WT as more than a virtual model kit pack, seeing a proposed panther 88 in-game shouldn’t bother you.
we can it would have been a D style turret but with an additional 20mm of plate
Then they should fix the model of the Flakpanzer 341 and reintegrate it into the tech tree, as this vehicle has already met the minimum standards for inclusion in the game.
Flak 341 is far more real cause atleast is has a hull built for it compared to what they replaced it with which blatantly doesnt exist ostwind 2 never built and same with the 6.0 aa only a ground test mount of 4 30mm mk103s where built no hull
Well there were 1-2 Prototypes build, one of which even ended up in czech inventory.
In the internet publication work of Mr. Vladimír Francev on captured armored vehicles in the Czechoslovak army (3rd part)) it is stated that in the report of the VTV (Tank Army Command) from 10/1947, among the German equipment collected from all over Czechoslovakia there is also an anti-aircraft tank with a twin 3.7 cm cannon on the Pz.Kpfw. IV platform. Given that at the end of the war, the production of the German plant Deutsche Eisenwerke AG-Werk Stahindustrie was moved from Duisburg to a branch plant in Teplice, it is possible that the hypothetical prototype Ostwind II (?) also reached Czech territory.

Thats just a normal Wirbelwind with muzzle covers.
Where was it weakened? After restoring this vehicle, it will gain:
The only trade-off is a reduction of 10mm in side hull armor.
Why do you have such a selfish thought? Are you implying that new players don’t deserve to have this vehicle, and then get blamed by veteran players when facing off against the US 7.0 lineup?
Flakpanzer 341 is not a fictional tank in the standards of War Thunder; it has met the minimum requirements for suggestions and has been approved by community administrators.
The planners are well aware that the German tech tree lacks effective SPAA beyond 6.0, yet they repeatedly use the same rhetoric to dismiss players’ concerns. This is truly a lamentable situation.
i will delete my posts i don’t to be spread any negativity best of luck!
