In this episode we start our look at Swiss tanks of the World War II era that need adding to War Thunder, ideally as a Swiss subtree in the French tech tree.<br /><br />In these tanks we have some rather diverse designs, from Czech designed light tanks like the Panzer 39 to the domestically designed Nahkampfkanone 1 and unusual looking Nahkampfkanone 2 tank destroyers, before finally coming full circle to the Czech built Panzerjäger G13.<br /><br />So join me today as we learn more about these Swiss tanks and why I think they would be good additions to War Thunder!<br /><br />Intro: 00:00<br />Panzer 39: 01:10<br />Nahkampfkanone 1: 06:21<br />Nahkampfkanone 2: 13:13<br />Panzerjäger G13: 16:51<br /><br />Sources<br />Doyle, H. and Jentz, T.
