Is that a GVT? It looks a little different than the couple of pictures I have.

Erik,

Umm, I think so. Found it doing a different search.

Robin,

Thanks. Looks a little cramped. I'd hope the shell ejection is straight back and not off to the sides.

Saw a photo of a rocket/missile being fired out of this thing, or was that the Kpz 70? It's all just a blurrrr now. LOL.

Anyways, Left side eject and right side eject=OUCH in the middle!!!

See ya in the funnies.......

Hi Brian, It`s a Gefechtsfeldversuchsträger Leopard 3. This one is preserved at the Barracks at Augustdorf. I been on it years ago, a very low silouette vehicle.

There is a 'Panzer 46' community on Facebook.
Currently there is a builder modifying the Jadg E-100 to have dual cannons.

but this is his specific page:

Its fake....both of them.

As for WoT, it goes both ways...as much as you think they don't do research, they actually do. They have been measuring the thickness of the armor on some vehicles (like the US T29,etc) and even have a couple original research books on Russian vehicles.

Some of the paper tanks are in there for game balance...not historical accuracy, though most of them did exist is drawings or where partly developed, but never put into production.

It is an game and not a simulator. Playing a game vs a couple Tigers for example in a 75mm Sherman wouldn't be much fun for either side...the Tiger would break down all the time and the Shermans wouldn't be able to penetrate it.

The "wild cat" has a headache and the other one can't penetrate. Yup, certainly sounds like no fun at all ...
