Im looking for info on the HWK 30, There are rumors it's a Mexican-German collab and a further development of the RU 251, it seems to have a different mantlet to the RU, same gun and turret otherwise. And the Hull has been extended to the rear, likely for a more powerful engine. But its like finding a needle in a haystack, no info at all

World of Tanks. What a waste of time that is.

Im interested in the historical relevancy of the AFV's within the game that are very not very well known, or the "evidence" is horse crap

For your considered opinion, I thank you. It is still a waste of time.

Documents for it exist in the Bundesarchiv. Whether Wargaming's vehicle is factual or not remains a mystery.

Here is another version which i assumed was tested in the early 70s. Probably for the same purpose as the TOW version. Only this one used an Milan ATGM. This version was not adopted either. it surely kept the capacity to carry infantry.
