I support the transformation of Tier VI into Armored Warthunderfare with this bump for Wiesels. 

 

So many tanks that were in German service that are still missing in between the Leopard 1 and the KPz70. Mainly thinking about the Wiesel, Leopard 1A3 and A4, the Jaguar ATGM tank hunters, Flakpanzer Wildcat (wasn't in service or in serial production though), the Marder 1 and 2. There are many more vehicles to still be added to fill in and flesh out Tier V and VI.

A couple of Pictures of the various non-standard Wiesel variants:

Spoiler

Possibly MILAN,the launcher is too small for HOT.

(Coaxial 20mm,this time mounted on the Wiesel 2 Chassis-note the 5 roadwheels and increased profile)

Wiesel 1 HOT with HOT inflight

RMK-30.Supposedly the muzzle energy of these is 200 KJ,according to this page:

http://www.whq-forum.de/cms/246.0.html

And had APFSDS,too-which would make this gun quite powerful.

Another RMK-30 armed variant.

Theres actually enough variants of this that you could potentially make hightier Premiums/Event vehicles with them.

BTW,now that we have a spotting mechanic for LT´s,this thing just got alot more useful.Its faster and smaller than pretty much anything else,so it would do a good job at scouting.

The base version(TOW and MK) are fire-support vehicle for infantry units. Don't know if that the job of a "tankette"

Thanks...

Another video for this thing.Nicely demonstrates mobility,aswell as just how tiny this thing is.

[swpixy 1,220]

some more stuff on the RMK-30:

which originates from here:

http://www.quarryhs.co.uk/DSEi2003.htm

 

The version tested on the Wiesel by Rheinmetall is the RMK 30/2.

[Ronin_GE 694]

The 30mm RMK had a big downside: due to the recoilless gun priciple, each shot gives away your position a big time. Not very desireable for a vehicle working in close cooperation with light infantry.

Probably why it didnt get too far IRL,plus it being more or less redundant in IRL application:For anti-armor,the TOW far superior,and for anti-infantry use the 20 is still sufficient.And then,of course,you also have the issue with backblast,not something you want when your vehicle is standing next to infantry most of the time.

Nevertheless its a interresting concept that would probably work quite well in WT,depending on where its placed.

Tiny fast vehicles could make the gameplay interesting. Hope for these , one day.

According to Armored Warfares "Vehicle Overview" on there Wiesel AWC it fires the TOW-2A-1 or TOW-2A-3

If they add this, it should be air droppable anywhere on the battlefield.
