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.

I do get SW III, but it is essentially a British vehicle. L41 I’m skeptical it can be significantly above Puma br if not same or below.
But you are right. I was blinded by rage incurred from more general issues.
The Pz.Sfl.II and its protoypes Modell 1 and 2, would have increased firepower, however rather worse mobility and armor.

True.
Would prefer a faster-firing light tank in that rank though, as Germany has few of those.

Another vehicle can be added for fill the gap of movility/scouting.

If my calculations are correct, the 6,8kg K.Gr. Rot Pz at 685m/s will allow it to penetrate 47,66mm at 100m at 60°. So maybe you will be able to frontally pen a T-34 from 200m (best situation) trough the hull.
No to mention the Gr.38 HL/C, tho at the still low velocity of 450m/s.
Tho its overall a shame that they dont do the minimum of putting the Puma at Rank 3.

How about the Pz.II Luchs equipped with a Puma turret?
Was ever build or just paper ???
The war ended before the prototype was completed. As it consists of the Puma turret and the Luchs chassis, all components are present.

And of course another german tank for high ranks. Now is very clear this continues nerfs for the most used vehicles of rank 3, 4 and 5 and keep germany with brutal lack of meta vehicles in mid ranks is intentional. They are trying to push the masive german player base to high ranks leaving mid and low ranks deaths.
Enjoy.

Ehh, it’s an event vehicle, not TT. And the R400 does seem like it fits best as an event vehicle.
Also it would never solve the issue brought forth in this thread, which is a light tank between 3.7-6.3. The R400 seems to go somewhere around 8.7-9.3 since it’ll get DM33.

-Players: Hey Gaijin remember Germany is the only nation ingame with no acces to scouting in rank 3 and even have a important lack of movility.
-Gaijin: I see, dont worry here you have another rank 7 light tank!
-Players: But we said rank 3!!!
-Gaijin: Ahhh dont worry here is a rank 2 copy paste light tank !!!

Biene, and no Rank II.
Crazy.
Now we have premiun and TT variant fot the Puma they should do the same with the 234/4.
And of course change his role to ligh tank with scouting instead of TD just like Hellcat but is Germany…

Absolutely. With 3.7 it should be rank III and the issue would be fixed.
Another fix would be to put the “Pakwagen” into the tech tree. These were quite numerous standard units, back then, no special prototypes or whatever to justify to make them super rare premiums.
