[p]Commanders![/p][p]Among the new Tier XI additions introduced in Update 2.0, comes a machine unlike any other—a scout that redefines reconnaissance. Fast, compact, and cunning, the leKpz Borkenkäfer doesn’t just see the enemy… it marks them for destruction.[/p][p]Forget passive spotting. This is active, precision-guided scouting.[/p][p][/p][h2]LeKpz Borkenkäfer: The Precision Spotter[/h2][p]Germany introduces a new predator to the battlefield: a lightning-quick light tank that turns information into firepower. With a remarkable balance of speed, concealment, and view range, the leKPZ Borkenkäfer can slip behind enemy lines, detect threats before they see you, and then do something no other scout has done before—weaponize scouting itself.[/p]

[/p][h3]Special Mechanic: Laser Target Designator[/h3][p]Press X to activate the leKPZ Borkenkäfer’s groundbreaking Laser Target Designator. Your next shell gains special tracking capabilities, applying one of two unique effects depending on your target’s status:[/p]

• [p]If the target is already spotted: The mark intensifies enemy exposure—keeping them visible for longer and amplifying the damage they take from allies.[/p]
• [p]If the target is unspotted: A special marker appears at the impact point, revealing that “an enemy is here.” The silhouette isn’t shown—but the position is shared with your team.[/p]

[p]This system revolutionizes teamwork. The leKPZ Borkenkäfer doesn’t just spot—it coordinates, marks, and multiplies your team’s firepower. [/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][carousel][/carousel][h2]
