WoT Supertest: Straussler V–4 Detailed Stats + Historical Reference

Straussler V–4 (Germany, Tier-3, LT, premium)

Historical reference:

In the fall of 1936, Manfred Weiss designers were tasked with developing and building an improved version of the V-4 tank. The armament was a 40 mm cannon and twin 8 mm Gebauer machine guns. In the spring of 1938, work on the second prototype of the vehicle was completed in Csepel: the frontal part of the hull was greatly modified, and the turret was enlarged as much as possible due to the turret with observation devices. A few months later, the final tests of the V-4 were carried out, which resulted in the tank being canceled due to unreliability and poor mobility. After this, the vehicle’s weapons were removed and until 1944 it was used as a tractor. In 1945, the V-4 went to the Red Army as a trophy. The further fate of the tank is unknown.
