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!

For what it's worth, if you wan't to make it easier for the new players, for the love of god, please don't match them against +1.0BR (all of my friends has quit playing :( )
YEEEEE GERMAN STUFF WOOOOOOOOOOOO THANKS GAIJIN!!! but I really want another TIER 5 JET FOR GERMANY.
I myself am at tier III-IV and have went way past reserve tanks, but I can't wait to try this tank out! I think this will be a great opportunity for the new players in the German tech tree to combat the M2-M3's and BT-5-7's! Also, when are we getting Japanese tanks? I want my Soviet Japan!
Yes, good, this is what we want. Stop adding post-war monstrosities, and get back to the things which didn't break the balance completely! More WWII tanks please!
I want my Leopard 1A1 or Sturer Emil ;-;
Both are planned for the next update Stuhrer Emil 100% confirmed, leo 1A1 not directly mentionned but officialy planned too
is there a chance for the Sturer Emil ?
*facedesk*
Confirmed already
This is awesome! I only have 1 question: Are there plans to add in japanese tanks? If not, at least some as premiums for the US? And, if it's not redundant, I have an idea for the userskins system, if you're willing to listen to one of the little guys who play your game.
Japanese ground force confirmed but really doubt its for this update, you may see them end 2016 with Italy as from the Q&A infos says
Japanese tanks top priority over Italian and French tanks, due before 2017 as from Q&A.
Interesting addition, first early-tiered German panzer devblog in quite some time. Now the only major public apealing additions left are the Schwimmpanzer II and Tauchpanzer! (Sadly, we have no data sheets on those >:)
I love this, the filling of the cracks in the tank trees that result in bad Matchmaking. This stuff makes the game more fun for everyone. Now all we need in the German tree are some medium tanks or light tanks to fill out the spots at 5.3 and 7.3. I will definitely play around with this cute little thing.
was hoping to see the M48's and/or the 150mm german SPG
