Leopard VK 1602

[Leinad]

Might make a suggestion on the official forums for it. What do you think?

I think it's one of the derpiest tanks I've ever seen.

Considering they never even got a prototype out of the project, I doubt you would see it in WT. Though Germany is still in need of more recon light tanks.

They'll never add it

Turns out, there is actually a user mission with it.

Maybe as a rare event vehicle

Exactly my thought.

Paper vehicle :/

I wouldn't be against it but the one of the few thing gaijin now gives a clear "No" to is paper vehicles.

It will likely be added as this was found alongside the type 65 before last year's summer event.

you realise gaijin are actually concidering removing the paper vehicles we already have (they were only added to fill gaps when the tech was still limited), there is no way they would add another

Hmm did not expect that lol. Looks pretty legit.

Still pretty weird. Maybe because it's a pretty clear design with no controversy over its configuration.

i guess because the turret from it was actually made and reused on the puma we already have though i never heard anything about a hull being constructed

[Baron901]

While I believe it was never properly built a mockup was created :

At the same time why would gaijin bother adding it to the game files? I'm not saying Mike is wrong and I'm definitely not saying the leopard will be added but it does lead to many questions.
