  1.  @ChristianThePagan  imagine if Wiesel had 1)electric drive and wider tracks for increased off road and silent running capability; 2)had mast erector launcher to mount both the ATGM and thermals/radar? I guess we'd be speaking of Wiesel 2 then though.

  2. ​ @johanderuiter9842  ah yes, the "5 Shermans per 1 Tiger" myth strikes again. Pity that irl it required 0 Shermans to see abandoned Tigers on the side of the road which either broke down, used up the whole liter of fuel they had or crew just shat themselves and ran because plane flew nearby.

  3. ​ @INSANESUICIDE  that's what he was referencing. However him saying "Ukraine oblast liberated" makes him sound like a typical tankie ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  4. Technically speaking Wiesel can be basically classified as power armor😂 Wouldn't be surprised if it can be used inside a building or on top of one either. Tankettes didn't have turrets, this one has. And Universal Carrier left people in the open, this one doesn't.

  5. Chieftain, you probably won't see this, but: Is there a merit of mounting Wiesel 1 autocannon arrangement onto Leopard 2 tanks in case of "low intensity conflicts" where the height of the tanks isn't as detrimental and usage of main gun may not be advised at all? I mean, it's a ready module, just install the whole mount onto the (commander) hatch. Boom, 2 hours of work, done, a week in testing, ready. So why not? Or is NATO and IDF experience say that it isn't a good idea?
