Back in the 1920’s Germany had started to develop new tanks for a possible future war. Officially they were prohibited from putting such vehicles into service, however the Panzerkampfwagen I (Pz.Kpfw I) was put into mass production in 1934 - it was the first modern German tank with machine gun armament and bulletproof armour.
| Though the development of such a vehicle was successful, German military command understood that the country needed heavier machines. That is how first Pz.Kpfw II and then Pz.Kpfw III were created. |
 |
 |
The Pz.Kpfw III design had requirements of a 37mm gun mounted in a rotating turret, a 250-300 h.p. Engine and a maximum speed of at least 40 km/h. The order for the first 25 vehicles for military testing was placed in december of 1935, the tanks were supposed to be put into service in Spring 1936.
 |
 |
The PzKpfw III Ausf. A was a modification based on the prototype and did not meet all the requirements - the vehicle’s speed did not exceed 35 km/h, mostly because of a poorly engineered chassis - the lower track wheels (5 on each side) had a large diameter and individual suspension. The next modification - Ausf. B- had smaller track wheels that were grouped in bogies. These vehicles were put into service at the end of 1937.

The PzKpfw III Ausf. B will soon be be introduced as a reserve tank in the German tank tree. It will be the first modification in the PzKpfw III branch and will “smooth” the BR difference for early German tanks - making it easier for new players.
The tank has lighter armour and less weight than PzKpfw III Ausf. E but has the same armament.
Meet the new vehicle in Update 1.59 "Flaming Arrows" and see you soon!

Don't forget to add Pz III Ausf A
It would be hella bad, since it just like a prototype. This one is enough.
Check article in this devblog - if Ausf B is ranked as Reserve how weak will be Ausf A?
Wacka, Wacka, BaBEEE! Aight Thanks THIS IS FAPPING NICE! and now the pz kpfw DW2.
Very cool, I like the detail on the commander's cupola, it is very different from later Pz.IIIs. This is a nice addition as the Germans are missing a good reserve medium tank. Lets hope the dev team can find a good German medium tank for the 5.0-5.3 BR too.
Hydrostat and the D-Benz built VK 32.01 Panther prototype.
I was looking into a few of those. Kinda sucks that we need more paper tanks to fill in gaps, but hey as long as it's balanced. Americans need more tanks at 5.7 as well, maybe move the 76mm jumbo down and add that Sherman prototype with the 90mm gun.
would you guys add the tu-4 in the tu-2-44/59 line?
It's coming this patch.
Last time i've checked it was soon(tm) but I'll take it. it already took long enough to repaint B29* ;) *Yes I know it's not the only change
some french and italian tanks pls. or hungarian
Ayyyyyyyyyyyyy :D Now gib something german at 7.3 so IS3 won't constantly get downtiered to king tiger Pls Very pls Pls
Hard to feel bad for the tiger zerg when they actually have to fight a tank they cant insta-gib while facerolling through a map
I don't find that King Tiger so problematic, I do get worried when I meet it in combat (with Panther A,G and Tiger E for the moment, didn't advance further yet), but I managed to defeat it, even face-to-face. It can be a bit tricky, but I don't find it such a big threat. From the sides, if you know where to aim (and you have plenty of space to aim and cripple/kill it), it's just a matter of time to defeat it.
Twin MG's in the turret! Thank you for not missing something that other games have :-D
Will you be adding in more Panzer IVs
But this is Panzer III :( Why no love and attention to this newest addition? :(
I am not much of a Panzer III fan, I am more of a Panzer IV fan, so will there be more Panzer IV's
And here i am. Just staring at these pictures trying to notice a difference between the both models.
Technically this is the worst version of all Pz. III in the game, that's why this is gonna be a reserve vehicle
Haha, did you found any differences?
You've GOT to be kidding me... THIS will be added instead of a long awaited Leopard & Gepard?!
yes...because showing something not Leopard or gepard means that those are canceled
(evil laugh) Who said it will be instead ?
