I want the awful panther though…
Exactly my thoughts! Give us Aufklarungspanzer Panther back xC
Exactly my thoughts! Give us Aufkl. Panther back xC
That’s the SP.IC without an autoloader.
Wow, such a new tank, very innovative, no copy at all…
It existed in metal. I’ll take it
If they think, that they’re going to take my RU, and give this thing instead, then i’m done with this game.
What I think is going to happen is that this will be the Tier 10. The RU 251 will be Tier 9.
This will be the Tier 8, an improved SP 1 C, the new Tier 10 is described in a previous post
this will become the new tier 8, ru will become tier 9 and the rhm panzerwagen will be the tier 10
It looks exactly like a SP1C with better armor… even the same 90mm Mecar gun.
New premium? typical
That’s not premium, it’s T8 regular LT that will preceed Ru 251
This will be the tier 8. Ru 251 will be t 9 they have already shown the T10
Uhm, they sorta need to fill in tiers now that the tanks will be bumped up by a tier.
IMO this will be the tier 8 after tier 7 SPIC and Ru 251 will be tier 9 as expected…
I had it backwards… This at tier 8 makes sense. Then the RU at 9.
Looks like the Tank TAM….. but with a little gun kkkk

Made in Germany, rise by Mexicans… lol
This one is the Mexican SP1C
So SpIC and then basically another SpIC at tier VIII…..people won’t be happy with this.
I liked the SpIC a lot, so I’m pretty stoked. Then again it probably won’t be as fun without an autoloader :/
I liked the SpIC a lot, called mine the spicy because of all the memes I had in it :’)
Don’t know how to feel about this tank, I doubt it will be as fun as the SpIC without an autoloader.
So simple, bring back the Aufklarungspanther with a 90mm Rheinmetal DM1 in tier 8.
I guarantee that the barbaric hoards will applaud WG.
Why they do not up-tier the SPI C too. They could put Aufkl. Panther back as a tier VII!
i miss the scout panther… this is cool but the scout panther needs to come back. it was easily my favorite tier 7 lt along side the wz131.
Another shit German tanks.
Buff reload to 6 seconds at least. 7 seconds for 240 alpha on a tier 8 light. That’s a joke.
Also buff spic by: reduce weight to historical 6 tons while leaving engine power. This will give it half decent power to weight to offset the shit mobility of the tank.
Also buff gun handling stats by about 20% ish. Test and adjust to see if it needs more or less.
It’s 2013 dpm, you’re purposing 2.4K that’s a bit too much, but 2.2K seems reasonable for this thing.
This tank’s is bug fat and sluggish as all he’ll. Trust me….the only thing it has is half decent penetration and good view range. The DPM is meh and the shell speed…..oh God. …
So it’s a fail SPIC dumped on Mexico by Germany. Epic.
Never built… the ones on mexico were the HWK-11… the APC one, not a recon vehicle on any case
I can’t wait to see Wiki entry for this contraption. Especially the “historical gallery” section. I did a quick search but only found a copy of a page of old Jane’s digest where it is described as HWK-11 hull with 90 mm gun turret. No picture.
Because the HWK-11 was an APC used on mexico… the HWK-12 was a proposed concept mounting a 90mm recoiless rifle on a turret… but only proposed, no prototypes built
Note that i said RECOILESS RIFLE not an actual tank gun…
From what I can tell by comparing specs here and on WoT wiki this is not even much of a upgrade from SP1C.
Its basically same vehicle with 10mm armor “upgraded” to 14mm, top speed from 58kph to 64kph, same gun, same size, same hull and turret traverse, view range from 400m to 410m.
Same russian bias as always…. despite this new spic is million times ligther and have no armor, the LTTB beat him not only on speed but in hp/ton ratio power…oh! ofc in armor too… lttb is like 12 times armored….
All the new LTs tier 8 will be shadowed for the russian LTTB (same story on the tier 9s… T-54 beat em all)
That’s because LTTB in game is a fake (surprise, surprise). There are several documents. One is the technical drawing of the the hull. Another is army requirements. First of all “requirements” is something that army wants rather than what can actually be delivered.
Initial reqiurements of 1943 called for a 14-15 ton tank with 45mm frontal armour, 220HP engine (2x110HP diesel engines actually) and top speed of 45km/h.
Requirements of 1944 for “Light tank with heavy armour” have weight increase to 20 ton and frontal amour increased to 75mm (90mm is scribbled with pencil. It could have been done by anyone at any time and therefore cannot be accepted as a part of historical document). Engine was supposed to be rated at 300HP.
In game we have fake 90mm of frontal armour, fake 700HP engine and fake 68km/h speed. Result is “light tank” that is lighter than any tier 7 medium tank while being roughly the same size and having thicker armour. It’s also faster than any tier 7 MT. And has a fake gun with better penetration than most tier 7 MTs. In other words the only two historical things about it are name and shape of the hull.

it’s looking promising…a very worthy ru251 legagy on tier 8 if the dpm will bw ok. View range is outstanding for tier 8.
Its a WG lie. No light tanks were built of this variant for or by Mexico. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedena-Henschel_HWK-11
40 vehicles, all were APC’s. One was tested with a 20mm gun turret with a co-ax 7.62mm. Third version same modified vehicle with turret received a more powerful engine and a French designed turret with a 7.62mm mg
i want aufklarungspanzer panther back 🙁
