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.
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.
So join me today as we learn more about these Swiss tanks and why I think they would be good additions to War Thunder!
