Sd.Kfz.234 Pz II Ausf.L Turret

We need more wheeled and halftrack vehicles, preferably in TT and low tier.

Probably 2.3 so you can squeeze it into Rank II.

You could then swap places with the Sd.Kfz.234/2 and Max/Emil folder, then make the Sd.Kfz.234/2 Rank III.

Something like this. Don’t mind the icon, I just reused the 234/1.

I doubt it will go higher (or anything else) than 2.0.
The limiting factor is the gun not the vehicle or turret, not to mention you loose the Coax MG 42, AA strength and armor protection, just to be save from overpressure, which is a relative statement conciddering the 8mm side armor.

These are so incredibly minor. Gaining scouting and airstrike, as well as no longer being open-topped are far more important.

Open topped really isnt a problem in the first place, what can hit you, that can overpressure you, that cant easily destroy you anyway? Not to mention the basically flat turret, compared to the on 2 plane angled 30mm Gunshield of the /1.
Obviously its in general a minor difference, but Scouting wont be the changing factor to have it Rank II.

Having it at rank II is the only way to give it scouting.

Open-topped and enclosed turrets are a massive deal for Gaijin. It’s the reason why the Skink is (lol) 5 BR steps above the Wirbelwind.

Its really not a primary AA vehicle, neither are. Thats as i sayed befor, really not a changing factor, it simply isnt BR. 2.3 material, be it still Rank II. Thats all im saying.

You also get -10 degrees of gun depression compared to -4. Which I’d argue is far more significant than losing the elevation, you’re not an SPAA. You’re a light tank.

I also don’t see why you’re saying you lose armour protection. The Luchs turret is better armoured?

  • Front: 30mm, the same.
  • Sides: 20mm, 6mm more.
  • Rear: 20mm, 6mm more.

At rank II and with scouting, this thing is basically a low tier Fox. It has enough penetration for flanking.

Yeah, except the mantled is basically flat beyond the round shape, while the /1 has a 30° angle, not to mention a pike desinge.

The greater depression is nice, tho. But also doesnt mean an increase in BR to 2.3.

We need more Sd.Kfz.234 variants in the game. I believe this gun has HVAP rounds that can penetrate 50 mm point-blank, so it would be good for flanking in WT

Would make more sense to move the 2.3 Skodas into Tier II (maybe alongside the Pz.II L if it gets added) especially since they were Tier II vehicles at one point

i also found something else cool a panzer 1 with a Breda 20/65 20mm cannon
used by spanish in spanish civil war
r/Warthunder - Gaijin please, could we have the Panzer 1 armed with the 20mm Breda 20/65 20mm cannon?
@Ghostmaxi have you seen this before

Oh I remember that one. Pretty much the only Panzer 1 we could actually get as the tank itself. Well, this one and maybe the Panzer 1 C, but only if they give it the 7.92mm anti-tank rounds, and even then its effectiveness would be… questionable.

There’s actually quite a few panzer 1 modifications that would be available to add
