Funny thing is that this vehicle is already in game. Just in low-poly form on Air Maps.

At least it uses the same armament as the Wirbelwind, so I’m okay not having it as a playable vehicle. However it is beyond me why Gaijin chose to include the Hummel as an AI unit but not a tech tree one.
The community should’ve been begging for this thing from the start instead of a StuG with a different chassis that will be forgotten a few days after its addition.

If you look up the suggestion on this forum for the Hummel, it gets a crazy selection of ammo!
Does someone know if now the LuWa or a similar small tankette is off the table with the boxer as the wiesel replacement?
The boxer just seems to heavy to airdrop efficiently. I would prefer rat tank aswell =)
the boxer its already decided, also shameless self promotion, this just got accepted

damn that’s sad to hear. The wiesel was one of the last and definitely the most famous tankette.
Was hoping for a competitor for the LuWa aswell.
But at least the LuWa can get added
The boxer is nice aswell but that the boxer gets added was certain
Do you know how many reloads the Milan 113 could carry?
I don’t know how many atgms
Wiesel 1 TOW with MEXAS applique armor

Boxer was never meant to be a replacement for the Wiesels in service by the Fallschirmjäger (airborne troops) but regular Jägers, which are kinda the normal infantry, though now becoming more like a light version of the Panzergrenadiere…
Wiesel in airborne role will be replaced by the LuWa, though not in the form of the prototype. For example the 27mm got replaced by a 25mm as that caliber has dual fed variants available and with the F-35 it enters the Bundeswehr anyways.

there is one in the works, but its also going through a major redesign
TLDR the quad tracks are being replaced with 2 tracks and the turret is being redesigned. Armarments will probably be a 20/25/27mm turret and a Euro-spike turret option

They selected the 25mm for the replacement. The GSD LuWa is basically just a testbed.
even the HARM is red lol
im a bit edgy about that glass windscreen… thats practically an armour hole (even though theres no armor lol)
Wasnt sure on the cannon caliber so I put the usual spread in, the LuWa had the 27mm, but they also mightve kept with the Wiesels 20mm, or go with the 25mm thats being required on the replacement for the Fuchs. And yeah the current LuWa is a testbed, hence why the quad tracks are going away
IIRC its some pretty thick bullet proof glass, so not as much as an armor hole as you’d think, but yeah the theory of the LuWa in the first place is to not be seen or shot at lmao
