PRTL GWI “Cheetah” - A newer, better Dutch air-defense on tracks

+1 for sure, can’t see what stopped this being added via Benelux

Potential additional vehicle?

Potentionally yes, but first we’d need more information on it, the most proof came from Dutch government testings, where thet trialed it. But these aren’t online available yet.

I wonder if they mean this one, as the only one that officialy had this name were the prototype and the GWI.

Either way peak addition!

It could be the GWI without FAPDS, but it could also just be that the Cheetah name is commonly associated with the platform as a whole in discussions.

Still, I can’t believe my prediction for the CM update actually turned out to be correct XD.

it’s in the community update, so i guess gaijin’s already made up their mind, still though :

+1 for more dutch vehicles in the game.
-2 because it would be going to the french tech tree

Well Well Well

What do we have here?

+1 only if gaijin does the right thing and kills the SPAA tank hunter meta

This one specifically would be a nice equivalent to the Gepard 1A2, any information on this since Sir BeNeLux?

No, only mentions of it in government documents or more general pieces:

But I know a guy that confirmed it (he worked on them IRL).

Here’s an older image of it, same angle, taken from an old newsarticle.

Good enough for me, I want it!

I want to play tanks vs tanks not Autocanon vs Autocanon in the race to an easy nuke

Then why’d you pick WT? Cannons/Autocannons were always a part of ground battles ^^

got fed up with the P2W crap and RNG aiming in World of Tanks. If that game didnt do everything it could to ruin the player experience i wouldnt have ever installed WT

SPAAs shouldnt be the best TDs in the game. All i want is for the SPAAs to stop being the meta
