German Turreted TD line.(Tier 4-7)
Sorry if this is another addition to the already overpopulated tech tree of Germany.
So,Ok,I have this lined up for a while,But here I go:
The line is consisted the following:
RSO/PaK 40 (Tier 4)
Heuschrecke 10 / Pz.38 D (Tier 5)
Pz.Sfl.IVc (Tier 6)
WT auf. Panther/GW Panther 8.8 (Tier 7)
First off:
RSO/PaK 40
Firstly,I thought of it as a tier 3 premium,But when I saw that it has a 360 traversable gun,I put it as a tier 4.
Stats (Elite)HP = 250
Weight = 4-7t
Speed = 30 km/h
Engine = 66hp | 85hp
Traverse = 25 deg/s
HP/t = 21 hp/t | 12.14 hp/t
Armor = 10/5/5
Turret Armor = 10/0/0
Gun = 7.5 PaK 40/2
Pen = 108/154/38
Damage = 110/110/175
RoF = 15
Acc = 0.38
Aim time = 2.0
Turret traverse = 24 deg/s
View Range = 370
Heuschrecke 10 (AKA:HUE she rekt you 10/10)
Yes,This is the Pz.Sfl.IVb all right,But this one was based on the GW III/IV chassis,Kinda different with current Pz.Sfl.IVb
Playstyle is a mix of Wolverine and T49 with a punch of StuG.
Stats (Elite)
HP = 340
Weight = 18t
Speed = 45 km/h
Engine = 360 hp
Traverse = 28 deg/s
HP/t = 20 hp/t
Armor = 30/10/10
Turret Armor = 30/20/20
Gun = 7.5/5.5 cm Waffe 0725 (AT v.)
Pen = 157/221
Damage = 135/135
RoF = 13.33
Acc = 0.34
Aim time = 1.9
Turret traverse = 16 deg/s
View Range = 380
Pz.Sfl.IVc (Toaster now toasts tanks with it's new turret)
Yes,This is the current Pz.Sfl.IVc,Moved to tier 6 and removed the side covers so it can traverse the gun at 360 degrees.
Stats remain the same except some loss of mobility,Gun traverse and the HP,Gameplay is a mix of Nashorn and Jackson.
Stats (Elite)
HP = 550
Weight = 25.8 t
Speed = 60/15 km/h
Engine = 400 hp
Traverse = 28 deg/s
HP/t = 15.50 hp/t
Armor = 20/14.5/14.5
Turret Armor = 10/0/0
Gun = 8,8 cm Flak 41 L/74
Pen = 198/237/44
Damage = 240/240/295
RoF = 8.3
Acc = 0.32
Aim time = 2.3
Turret traverse = 16 deg/s
View Range = 380
Lastly:
GW Panther 8.8 FlaK / 8.8cm K(PzSfl) auf Sonderfahrgestell
Found in GW Panther wiki
In 1942, German designers started the development of a new series which would utilize chassis and components of various tanks and use them as mountings for various heavy weapons. Designs of the Grille Series incorporated many new technical modifications in order to mount heavy weapons. Some vehicles of the Grille Series were designed to be weapon carriers - Waffenträger. Some of those vehicles reached prototype stage, but none of them entered production that was planned for mid 1945. The Grille 12/15 was to be based on a Panther chassis. Originally, the Grille 10 was built based on the order for heavy anti-tank vehicles to be armed with the 88mm Flak L/56 gun and be used against fortifications of the Maginot Line. In June of 1940, a change of technical specifications occurred: the vehicle build by Krupp was modified to be a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun. It was based on the Pz Sf IVc chassis. The original anti-tank vehicle, designated as 8.8cm K(PzSfl) auf Sonderfahrgestell, was to be armed with the 88mm Pak 43 gun, but only a wooden model was made. In late 1942, three prototypes were made: the Versuchsflakwagen für 8.8cm Flak 37. In 1944, they were re-armed with the 88mm Flak 41 guns and designated the Versuchsflakwagen für 8.8cm Flak 41. A single example was re-armed again with the 88mm Flak 37 and sent for tests to Italy, where it served with Heeres Flakartillerie Abteilung (Sf.) 304, and was assigned to the 26th Panzer Division.
So,This actually is the TD version of GW Panther,Armed with 8.8 that was nearly the same as Pz.Sfl.IVc.
Stats (Elite)
HP = 820
Weight = 30t
Speed = 46/15 km/h
Engine = 440 hp
Traverse = 30 deg/s
HP/t = 14.67 hp/t
Armor = 60/30/20
Turret Armor = 1/1/0
Gun = 8,8 cm PaK 43 L/71
Pen = 203/237/44
Damage = 240/240/295
RoF = 9.84
Acc = 0.32
Aim time = 2.3
Turret traverse = 18 deg/s
View Range = 390
And after that,It continues into the Rhm.B WT
Oh,And the replacement of the Pz.Sfl.IVc at tier 5 is the Marder III ausf.H,Armed with 7.5 L/70,As stated here.
So that's that,What your opinion about it,I'd try of thinking of other balancing thingies.
But too occupied at the moment because I'm thinking of creating a British LT tech tree idea.
Also,This is an idea,Don't take it negatively. And sorry for thinking of adding more German tanks,
