Vehicle Description

The Rheinmetall Begleitwagen is a Tier III German medium tank. It has a 7.5 cm gun with impressive damage per shot. The vehicle's armor is average for its tier, while it has decent mobility. This Begleitwagen is most effective when trading shots at close range, making use of its high alpha.

Historical Reference

In the second half of 1934, the Germans started developing a tank designated as the Verbesserten Nb.Fz. The Rheinmetall company was responsible for its design. The vehicle was supposed to weigh 17-18 tons. Its armament consisted of a short-barreled 75 mm gun and a coaxial machine gun. Another machine gun was placed on a small turret at the front of the hull. Higher-density configuration with the transmission in the front helped dramatically reduce the hull length. There were also plans to use a special V-shaped 10-liter 12-cylinder Maybach HL 100 TR engine with 300 h.p. of power. Rheinmetall produced a life-size wooden mockup, and later a chassis out of construction steel. Many improvements were made to the latter, but it did not become the base for the mass-produced tank.
