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.

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.
