Qbicle 97 Posted February 2, 2023 Source: https://aw.my.games/en/news/general/development-flakpanzer-gepard Quote In Armored Warfare, the Gepard will be a German Tier 8 Premium Armored Fighting Vehicle and a reward vehicle of the Eclipse Battle Path, obtainable by unlocking Level 19 of the Battle Path. The Gepard will be a typical self-propelled anti-aircraft gun that will depend heavily on damage output and long spotting range rather than its armor or stealth. The vehicle’s hull will be similar to that of Leopard 1 and the manned turret armor will be steel-only so right off the bat it’s clear that this vehicle isn’t going to withstand a lot of damage. Of additional protection measures, only smoke grenades are present.

The combined rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute is nothing to sneeze at, although we’re still tuning the firepower details in order to make the vehicle viable. Of interesting ammunition types, the Gepard will feature PELE-like FAPDS ammunition as a Workshop upgrade. Mobility-wise, the vehicle will be identical to its Leopard roots – in other words, it’ll be similar to a slower light tank or a lighter MBT such as the Leopard 1A5. After all, with its 45 tons it’s not exactly a spring chicken. Click the image to open a larger version And last but not least, there are the camouflage and spotting range values. We are looking at 25% camouflage and 380 meters of viewrange although the latter will be possible to enhance via the Radar active ability similar to the one of the Draco AFV. And that’s pretty much it – just a solid vehicle for you guys to drive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
