Designed as a medium-weight reconnaisance vehicle, it's development ended early with the advent of the defeat. It was to be armed with a 7.5 cm KwK 42 gun. At first, a modified Panzer IV turret was proposed, but it couldn't mount the gun, so a modified lighter version of the Schmalturm was used.
Based on the Hetzer hull (which, itself, was based on the Pz. 38), it was to use a 450 hp engine while weighing no more than 15 tonnes combat-ready.
Controls:
W, A, S and D for steering.
AG 1 for activating the turret.
AG 3 for lights.
AG 5 for hull MG.
AG 6 for the main 7.5cm gun.
VTOL for turret.
Trim for gun.

Great design!
@Mainblocks Not really. I thought of building the Pz 38 TM. But the Pz IV turret was too ugly. So I did my best at building a Schmalturm. The inspiration actually came from the Aufklarungspanther (aka Awful Panther) which was a tier 7 tank in WoT. So I thought of building something with the same role but lighter (thus the inspiration from the Pz 38 TM which is lightweight and looks badass too).
I even once considered to place a modified VK 16.02 turret on it which was to mount a 7.5 cm gun, but it was looking too ugly.
@PhantomBladeCorp I mean, the inspiration is taken from sdkfz 234 Puma and the panzerkampfwagen V Panther series :)
@AudioDud3 'kay, you won :(
@AudioDud3 NU!
@AudioDud3 Nu
@Mainblocks Panzer 38 Weiterentwicklung ;)
Sdkfz 234 Puma ? (inspiration)
@PhantomBladeCorp nice job. The fact you managed this much detail and cuteness and awesomeness in one day, hats of to you my sir
@Mrloominati You know what's funny? This thing really is little xD
I'm glad you like it. Literally built it in a single day.
Very cool little machine
