Why Germany is the only nation with no acces to Light/fast scout tank at Rank III?

Bump up Sd.Kfz 234/2 to rank III. Its BR 3.7, so its a no brainer.

Perfect for fill the gap betwwen Puma and M41.
Germany right now between rank 2 and 5 is a big pile of trash so Swiss tanks can fix this.

Yes is a option but the problem with the big gap between 3.7 and 6.7 still there. Puma firepower is very poor so Germany still needing something better.
And this looks very good:

The easiest solution sholud be add a non premium variant of Pakpuma but Gaijin looks like want destroy German TT for push his massive player base to buy good premiuns.

According to one of those sources it is classified as a tank destroyer and there were two versions: one with 57mm and the other with 90mm. If adding as a light tank to German TT (rank 3) it would have to be the 57mm version.

FYI I could not find anything independently on the Mowag Skorpion. Did see one in the WOT TT - is that where the “source” got the details?

Classification depends more or less on gaijin see M18. The 90mm is here suggested. The name of the gun is pak57 but calibre 90mm.

250mm 0° pen, rather low velocity (600 m/s) should be alright at 5.7 or 6.0 because it has like zero armor. 8mm can be penned with every mg at that br

These would be possible aswell:

If the PT-76 is at 5.0 with 200mm pen but with a stab to compensate I don’t see why the Skorpion couldn’t also be 5.0

It has 25 hp/t and the 90mm gun should do more post pen than the pt-76b one. But in the end it depends on the reload they give it

Again, PT gets a full stab at 5.0. I’d say that balances it out quite nicely.

I don’t believe there are any 90mm light tanks at rank 3. I think it should use the 57mm version and keep the BR down a bit more like 5.0 or 5.3, with a fast reload.

Very nice !!!

I miss when people accepted that nations have their own quirks and not cry for every vehicle for every nation… “A nation don’t have B vehicle type in C br range so we should add D!!” my ass. Some nations have something others don’t have and lacks what others don’t, that’s what makes the whole nation mechanic special…

That only makes sense when domestic options are generally lacking, while plenty of interesting German designs have been repeatedly discussed in this thread.

As has been shown in this topic, there are plenty of unique German and Swiss designs that could help fill the void. It’s not about each nation having “quirks”, it’s about filling a serious gap in the German TT that impacts the way German teams can approach matches, which, again, has been shown can be filled with vehicles that would not contradict the idea of “quirks”

Spaehpanzer is only viable design, though good one it is.

The rocket tank or East German PTs are terrible takes.

With these in mind I think we could fill the gap pretty well. The Skorpion at 5.0 (yes, with the 90mm), and then the Doppellenker at 5.3 or 5.7 because of its better mobility, and the Rpz Pak 50 at 6.3 or 6.7, as it would just be a Swiss/German 6614.

The H.S. 30 and the Pirat seem like good TD candidates. We shouldn’t encourage Gaijin to use even more designs in roles they were never meant for (looking at you, M18)

Spahpanzer wouldn’t be placed below 7.0 I’m afraid. It’s just better then the Bulldog in almost every regard. So while I wholeheartedly agree to seeing it added in game, it cannot fill the 3.7-6.3 gap.

Kurz, Lang, Sonderwagen III and L41 Modell 2 are all perfectly viable candidates. That’s four new light tanks.
