Grilling the Grille: A slight peeve.

[Pezz]

The 38(t) is probably easily one of my favourite tanks, it's variants included, notably the Grille SPG. This unit is not available in Dynamic Campaign, despite it being present on the eastern front, and yet there's this one armed with a 30mm autocannon?

I tried my utmost to find out what the heck this thing was, as I'd never heard of it before this game. Google was not forthcoming, Wikipedia doesn't know this tank existed. It was a ghost. Turns out that two, only /two/ of these vehicles were converted from munitions carriers in Prague, 1944 (Thank you obscure tank enthusiast websites!). It was less exciting a rabbit-hole than I'd hoped, and did not ease my dismay over the lack of an actual Grille in GoH's dynamic campaign.

My request is thus: Please add the Grille SPG to the dynamic campaign in place of this version. The 3cm model is practically fictional by comparison to its iconic sibling, is my reasoning there, and with anti-air options already covered in droves, it falls by the wayside as a novelty research purchase I feel :v

Thanks for sharing. The 30mm wasn't very common, that's true. Maybe we'll get around to more common versions in the future.

I never knew this thing existed haha, where is it used in game?

It's in the German research tree, near the '88s for the dynamic campaign. I think it's an AA gun, on a Grille's body, which admittedly, does not sound like a bad thing in the slightest. My guess would be it's ideal for AA support in slightly spicier areas of the battlefield perhaps, where towed guns lack survivability and the means to rapidly relocate moderate distances.

While I do want my beloved SPG Grille for sure, I'm gonna grab this guy in my current run and see how he fares. With Conquest Enhanced, aircraft are a real thorn in one's side, so it may just be a wunderkind I have yet to understand and appreciate :>

Turret-less AA is the worst thing, that's why nobody hear about it. It work great as an anti-infantry however. I mean this thing only existed in a blurred image in 1944 which I'm not even sure it's the same thing. If it's the same thing then it was an experimental project because they were trying to figure out how to fit a Flak 103/38 on a mobile chassis that spawn the Kugelblitz project.

Look like the dev was flipping through some obscure docs in some museum and decide to add this thing because it look cool...lol.
