Ground vehicles Flakpanzer Gepard

[MrMakWASP 1,412]

Joker you have to take into account that this isn't needed. The Germans have some of the best SPAA in-game already.

 

Second of all the devs already said no lol

They said no you say?

Wow that was a hilariously late reply, I already know they said not certain, they changed their minds.

 

 

Your timing is so horrible that I'm cracking up right now. What an imbecile  :lol:

1970's and 1960's SPAAG in this game is a terrible idea, pls no gaijin. 

[PointyPuffin 5,065]

They are planning to add them, because for the inexperienced players, it is very hard to hit the small, fast jets (anything besides the Horten, which presents a huge target) with the SPAAs that are already ingame due to the low rate of fire.

Probably because they all play AB and rely on the magical aim indicator telling them to lead their shots. I admit hitting a MiG-15 or F-86 player that knows how to fly is difficult sometimes but most people play slow bombers like the Do 217 and B-17 which are very easy to hit.

coelian low rate of fire?

[PointyPuffin 5,065]

Lower than the Kugelblitz.

[_Sync 1,028]

Lower than the Kugelblitz.

Yeah, but it still is very deadly to aircraft.

[Desolator7 267]

Lower than the Kugelblitz.

 

What are you talking about everyone knows the Kugel is a tank killer with that HVAP  :lol2:

this post isnt completely accurate any more the gerpard was put out of service 5 years ago in 2010 and more or less replaced by modified wiesel 2

they werent really replaced properly since the "neuausrichtung der bundeswehr" (new orientation of the bundeswehr) pretty much shrinks the bundeswehr more and more and makes it more a support army for other armies (US army) rather than a real own army

Has it been put out of service in only the German army or all the armies listed? I just need to know before I edit.

Moved to Further discussion.

romania, jordan and brazila re the only ones still using it

the bundeswehr thinks about replacing it with the MANTIS anti air system

[DonHornegger 723]

wasnt it allready approved together with the vulcan and all the other cold war Spaa???

[Crown_Of_Despair 79]

I strongly agree that this should be added to the game since, I owning the coelian have never shot down a jet aircraft in my entire history of tanks, (except when they play stupid and decide to head on with 2x 37mms) I could not even shoot down the iL-28 which is an extremely large target. (Trust me il lead enough) also for anti tank capabilities, the ZSU 57 will definitely need a competition, since even though the flak 37 did have APCR they refuse to add it to the coelian (for unknown reasons even though it might make SPAA fair against the dreaded ZSU (130mm of penetration I believe)

Well Coelian and Kugelblitz should be swapped, because Kugelblitz is better in every way other than armor, which is in this case irrelevant anyway...

[pieve 3,578]

It was developed in the 1960s

 

t

his model is with 30mm cannon

The Gepard was developed from 1963 onwards. In 1969, he began construction of four prototypes The testing both arms 30 and 35 mm. On 25 June 1970, it was decided to use the kind of 35 mm.

 

[OviBvNitro 31]

So is the Gepard commign to WT or not ? :D Also I consider game mechanics chage with those introduced, you know how those gun are fireing, theyr fireing in 300-400 shells burst at extremely high rpm, theyr revolving or gentling cannons, if so any plane approach below 2000 meters are pure sitting ducks, and this with out Ghepard radar/laser assisted guns. I don't know how this would work in WarThunder

yES!

[Iron_physik 3,485]

we need the gepard

germany has no really good T5 SPAA

 

the Gepard would be perfect.

[WakeUpdude 33]

yes

[CXK114514 147]

Yes for sure

[RussianRainbow 89]

Found the version that was mounted on the leopard chassis as a test-bed prototype. This version also had the Oerlikon 35s, not sure what year it was produced though. http://live.warthunder.com/post/403241/en/

no nation has "really good tier 5 sppa"

 

best sppa is currently german. The Kugelblitz hands down.
