Man that thing have way too much ammo for Br2 yes is open top but It is just too much against infantry would better just give them the wirbelwind at bre and job done also that Halftrack chasis wen you put a bigger gun on It It go Up 1 BR like the premium APC compared to the 75mm one premium one only have a MG 34 soo is Br2 but event one get a 75mm and a MG42 soo It go to BR3 or well they could give them this thing on BR2

Ok idk why but i can’t post screenshots I think the forums are Broken rn

I was trying to post a new italian SPAA that is getting added to WT is basically a truck with a X4 german 20mm It would be way more balanced than that SdKfz

I dont really want it as a APC, i think this comparrisson is most likely not matching

I think you need to use Image link now.

I dont know how much Gun Depression this vehycle hase?

If it isnt that much than maybe it would be mostly harmless against infantry on many maps.

Available in WT btw

I was using the APCs as example because they use the same Halftrack
Here the SPAA on WT Sd.Kfz.251/21 | War Thunder Wiki
Also the depression is -5 like most soviet tanks but thats aiming fordward probably aiming to the sides It will have a lil more

I could see this as an off-road squad vehicle.
There are vehicles for other factions that would be similar in power.

But the armament is on a higher possition i dont know if -5 would be that usefull aganst infantry then.

Maybe Br2 but i think BR3 would be the maximum for this thing.

I did made a sugguestion about the

As a APc Add Overvalwagen for Japan APC (SPW) for Japan - Suggestions / Vehicles - Enlisted — official forum

I dont know how high the elevation is by youre Ami vehyles?

The Type 2 Su-ki could be added as a home-manufactured amphibious apc for Japan, basically a big amphibious Toyota truck, would be useful in Gavutu.

Was there a Apc and weaponized version of this in ww2.

its a triple automated turret fully enclosed so br3 as assuming its not a tank

Is not fully enclosed is a open top but It should go to BR3 for don’t bully BR1 and is just too powerfull against infantry and planes also some tanks like the scott or the crusader the thing is that the people think It should be BR2 because the downtiered kugelblitz idk why that thing is still BR3 instead of BR4-5 Skink is more balanced yes It will be better than this thing but It have basically no filler on the HE shells and the AP Pen 38mm soo It can’t kill German br2 tanks except the marders and on Japan the only one that survive is the Ho-I meanwhile the Kugel just delete all Br2 tanks except I suppose the premium Matilda

open top means they can be shot from the side not that artillery strikes can fall in. that the soldiers have to expose their heads to operate the tank that’s open topped. now it be br 1 2 if it was a tank as an apc/rider/driver its a br3. the turret is not manned its unmanned again meaning the crew is not exposed to fire
br 1 2 = tank
br 3 - 4 rider/driver/apc

  • br1 tank
  • br2 tank
  • br3 apc/rider/driver
  • br4 rifder/driver/apc
  • no

I never wanted this thing to be a APC.

I would accept it even if it would be a Br3 Tank.

changed my vote to agree, i just dont like people who try to add a quasi tank as just a higher br rider/driver/offroad vehicle
br2/3 tank yeah no issues great pick

Nope, not voting for any more good AA vehicles for germany until other nations get some good ones. The kugelblitz is beyond amazing. Then they have the flakpanzer and as42 in low tier, both with proper AA ability. U.S.'s 50 cal gmc is a joke compared to them and the new 50 cal jeep can’t even properly aim at planes still. The skink absolutely sucks ass compared to the kugel, they are definitely no where close to each other in power on the field. Russia gets the milk truck and nothing else, japan gets the ta-se and nothing else.

Germany has enough proper AA vehicles right now.

A allied AA vehicle.

I think more halftracks should be in the game, tbh. They might not be the best, but 1. They’re something the devs could employ to grow the TTs, if nothing else, and 2. They’d be neat to at least see on occasion. And halftracks were employed extensively by the U.S. and Germany, so it would improve some accuracy.
