[Development] Radkampfwagen 90: A leopard on wheels

The Radkampfwagen 90 is a German experimental wheeled tank, developed during the 1980’s to equip the Bundeswehr with a highly mobile and well armed combat vehicle. Despite never making it past prototype stage, tankers will soon have the chance to field test the Radkampfwagen 90 on the virtual battlefields of War Thunder in update 1.97 ‘Viking Fury’!

In War Thunder, the Radkampfwagen 90 will be a new wheeled vehicle, making its way to Rank VI of the German ground forces tree with the release of update 1.97 ‘Viking Fury’. Similar in design and purpose to the already familiar Rooikat, Type 16 or Centauro wheeled tanks in the game, the Radkampfwagen 90 gives German tankers access to a highly mobile and very well armed light vehicle, perfectly suited for the dynamic combat conditions found in high rank battles!





The Radkampfwagen 90 will soon become available for research to all tankers as a new German Rank VI light tank, coming to the game as part of the upcoming update 1.97 ‘Viking Fury’. In the meantime, be sure to stay tuned to the news as the release of the update draws ever closer. Until then, tankers!
