The "Prototype Predator" || Radkampfwagen 90

The Radkampfwagen 90, also known as the Radpanzer 90, is an eight-wheeled combat vehicle prototype created by Daimler-Benz at the request of the German Federal Ministry of Defence. In the early 1980s, the German Federal Ministry of Defence tasked Daimler-Benz with building an armoured wheeled combat vehicle in response to the success of other countries' wheeled armoured vehicles, such as the French AMX-10RC. The combat weight was to be around 30 tonnes. In late 1983, Daimler-Benz began developing and manufacturing what was formerly known as the "Wheeled Demonstration Vehicle" and then the "Wheeled Experimental Vehicle (88)". The vehicle was ultimately designated "Radkampfwagen 90". The prototype was finished in 1986. Due to budget cuts and a deteriorating defense market, the Radkampfwagen 90 was never developed beyond the prototype stage. However, the test results were incorporated into the investigations conducted as part of the experimental program "Test Carrier Armored Transport Vehicle with Integrated Overall Protection," which later developed into the GTK Boxer armoured fighting vehicle. The prototype is now displayed in Germany's Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung (Defense Technology Study Collection) in Koblenz. The turret is a prototype version of the Leopard 2 main battle tank's.

I haven’t mastered this tank yet, you’re playing in a more aggressive style - but it’s a thinking man’s tank - no cowboying

[@adhx7506]

Does the Radkampfwagen get better when fully spaded? I currently just have the APFSDS and it feels so big and clunky. Not fast at all.

[@Marco187Polo]

yeah you need to upgrade it, then its really speedy

[@SrStakeholder]

I accidentally left setting at 2x 😮😅

[@madalinbuzdugan176]

To bad it doent have thermals..this makes it unplayable in a top tier lineup for me.

[@joestueckrath5275]

Doesn’t stop me from using it at top tier

[@Mango-vd1nn]

you could just use the drone, which is better

[@andrewsquire47]

I never even use thermals at top tier lol. If I do its very rarely.
