🇩🇪Rheinmetall Begleitwagen (MT-3, premium)
Historical Reference:
In the second half of 1934, work began in Germany on creating a tank designated Verbesserten Nb.Fz. The design was handled by Rheinmetall. The vehicle was intended to weigh 17–18 tons. Its armament consisted of a short-barreled 75 mm gun paired with a machine gun. Another machine gun was mounted in a small turret at the front of the hull. A more compact layout with the transmission placed in the front allowed the hull to be significantly shortened. It was also planned to use a special V-shaped 10-liter, 12-cylinder Maybach HL 100 TR engine producing 300 hp. Rheinmetall produced a full-scale wooden mock-up and later a structural-steel chassis that underwent numerous revisions, but it never became the basis for a production tank.
