no problem a genius at spg’s and taking old hulls and giving them new life, a real-world kit basher

I’d love to see any of these unique vehicles in game, and I don’t mind if they’re open top either, as personally I’m a Dicker Max enjoyer in this game.

When I think of WW2 German vehicles I think of all these ‘weird’ designs that were only possible because of necessity, during a very rapidly and constantly evolving conflict. ‘Normies’ may immediately go for the behemoths of the late war, such as the Tiger II’s and whatever (I love them too, don’t get me wrong). But I personally love all these rare stuff, including some early war ‘tin boxes’ on tracks with some very beefy artillery cannons on top. I use to browse WW2 artillery books as a kid, and seeing all these odd SPGs Germany did, they always stood out for me.

[noktinnky_noktin]

oh yea wespe a very interesting vehicle that idk how it would work in enlisted if it got added
