1 boat and nothing else

I’m pretty sure they could be carried on the Su-22M4 but idk if they’d add it as the GDR never used them.
I’d kill for more VK designs. 30.01D or 36.01H would fit so nicely between the Pz3-4 and the cats

You’ll get nothig and you will be happy type patch. Damn, getting nothing but screwed over for 2 patches is a lot of fun…
Plenty variations to add but gaijin refuse as always
I really don’t understand why it so hard for gaijin to add vehicles for Germany. I can name off the top of my head a couple vehicles in-game that could be added to German that they used (granted most are copy and paste):
Copy/Paste:
T-34/76
T-34-85
T-54
T-55A
Leopard 1A2
M48A1
2S1
2S3
Zsu-57-2
Zsu-23-4
TT M47
F-4E
MiG-21F-13
New vehicles using existing models:
Leopard 1A2A3
T-54Z
T-54AZ
T-54AMZ
T-55AM-2B
Tornado IDS ASSTA3
Tornado IDS SLE
F-104G early
New vehicles using a combination of multiple pre-existing models:
Marder HVMS (Marder hull + M113 HVMS turret)
Boxer T40 (Boxer MGS hull + Jaguar turret)
M113G Milan (M113 hull + Milan atgm system)
Definitely more but that’s just off the top of my head, 1/10 update otherwise (Su-30 will be fun the test drive though so there’s that).

That should be the focus
Other vehicles could be the 20mm sdkfz the russians got in their triple pack, arado 196 A5 and amx super which are all german vehicles or upgrades and can be found in other trees (I think that were)

Germany already has 107 research tree ground vehicles, Thats only 2 less than the USSR (as of what was announced for the next update), 10 more than the UK, And 20 more than the US, Everyone else has 80 or less in their trees.
They are not starving for ground vehicles to the point they need more copy-pastes.
Germany should instead just get what they actually made themselves, They already have loads of copies of other nations things.
You also got a air sub tree 2 updates ago, The other major nations don’t have one, Even Israel still hasn’t got one yet.
Gaijin clearly has no issue adding vehicles to Germany because they do it all the time.

Never claimed they didn’t have a lot of vehicles, doesn’t make it any less annoying when an update comes out and the only thing added is a boat, especially when you already have the rest of the TT done.
Never said they were, there are gaps where copy/paste vehicles would help a lot. These include:
3.7 - 6.7 light tank gap
could be filled either the PT-76B or PT-76K1 (hopefully the K1 as that one is “unique” to East Germany (it’s a normal PT-76K with an extra radio)
7.3 - 8.3 SPAA gap
Germany lacks a capable SPAA between the Luch A2 and the Gepard. While domestic options do exist, options like the Zsu-23-4 are valid options as the were used extensively by East Germany. I would prefer a domestic option but a German Shilka is welcome.
There are also some smaller places where a Copy/Paste vehicle could help, like Germanys 7.7 - 8.3 not having a TT stabilized tank, options like the T-55A and T-54AMZ would fit, allowing F2P players to have a stabilized MBT without having to buy the TURM.
Spoiler
Gaijin refuses to add them to Germany, only other nations apparently.
KF-41 was designed in built in Germany, Germany hasn’t gotten it yet.
Leopard 1A2s were built in both Germany and Italy, guess which one has it and which doesn’t.
AMD.35 Pak was originally going to only be added to France despite being a Germany field mod
AMX-30 Super was an upgrade package made by Germany. It’s in the French TT as a premium.
Germany is one of the biggest operators of the Tornado yet hasn’t received a TT version in almost 3 years while Britain and Italy have both gotten new ones.
Italy has a TT Pz.IIIN while the German one is a premium (even though Germany makes them).
Despite Germany making and operating the Ju-86, the first Ju-86 in war thunder would be added on December 17th, 2019…. To the Swedish TT. 6 years later Germany still hasn’t gotten it.
The Germany BF-109E-7/U2 is a rare German event vehicle while Japan has it as a cheap GE premium.
Hummel has yet to be added despite being found in game as a model in air battles.
When the German ground TT was announced, the Stug IIIC, Stug IIIG (stb), and Stug IV were announced. Still yet to be added like 10 years later.
Huh? Only ones I can think of are the M41, M48A2C, M44, and M55. Even then, Germany is the into nation with the A2 variant of the M48. All these vehicles were important while the German army was in its formative years postwar.
They just announced 2 Subtrees for them? Greece and Cyprus. So if Israel wasn’t already copy and paste enough for you, you’ll also receive leopard 2s and T-80s, yippee 😐.

They could also cobble together a Leo 1A3/1A4 with the newer turret design quite easily seeing as that turret is already in-game on the Radkampfwagen
Slightly unrelated but holy are there a lot of vehicles in the files this update. Really feels like they pushed the trailer and devstream a little earlier then normal. Maybe with an extra week or so we would’ve had a more comprehensive vehicle showcase, including the ASSTA 3.
