Vehicle Description

The quintessential sniper tank destroyer, the Hirschkäfer boasts a gun with exceptional accuracy and handling, while the vehicle's excellent mobility ensures freedom of movement across the battlefield. Though unforgiving of even minor mistakes, with careful positioning, the Hirschkäfer can pick the perfect moment to deliver a devastating enhanced shot.

Historical Reference

A project for a German tank destroyer from the 1970s based on the Leopard 1 with an autoloader. The designers believed the vehicle could efficiently hit enemy tanks from ranges at which return fire would not pose a threat. However, it was found that this task could be performed perfectly well by the latest Bundeswehr tank, the Leopard 2, which was in active development at the time. As a result, the military decided not to build a prototype of the vehicle.
