Today we kick off a new series looking at World War 2 Tanks that need adding to War Thunder, with this first episode looking at German World War 2 tanks. <br /><br />So join me as we take a look at various attempts to improve the Panzer I and II, a Czechoslovakian alternative to the Panzer II, a look at what the Panther might have been like if history had gone just a bit differently and a look at the various heavy tanks designed by German before adopting the Tiger Tank! <br /><br />Support me at ⬇️ <br />☕Buy me a Coffee➡️ buymeacoffee.com/Toreno <br /><br />Social Media ⬇️ <br />🦋Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/toreno.bsky.social <br />🌍Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Toreno4 <br />📸Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toreno170 <br />🐘Mastodon: Toreno17@mastodon.social <br />🧵Threads: https://www.threads.net/@toreno170 <br /><br />Sources ⬇️ <br />Anderson, T.
