Sorry whilst I know the SSPz are amphibious APCs, is SSPz = SchwimmfähigSchützenpanzer?
(sorry my german is self taught and not great  )
Batch 3 should do it! |
The Hyäne is a light-to-medium cavalry tank (think Walker Bulldog or PT-76)based on the chassis of the E-25 (which incidentally is also the basis for the Jagdpanzer Jaguar). It is purely hypothetical and is supposed to serve as the mainstay of the colonial quick reaction force's armoured corps.
The Büffel is an IFV (similar to the Bundeswehr's Marder) and is based on the E-50 chassis. It is available only in SS/Gardekorps mechanised formations. It is also hypothetical afaik.
The Serval is a light (airmobile / transportable) tankette based on the E-10 chassis (similar to the Russian airborne tanks). It is used in support of airmobile formations and paratroops. It is purely hypothetical.
SSPz. 44 is based on the Landwasserschlepper II. It is an extrapolation of what a German amphibious APC may have looked like. It is analogous to the US LVTs of WWII. It is hypothetical.
The SSPz. 60 is a logical extrapolation (analogous to the USA's LVT designs of the late 50s and early 60s - LVT-5s - but with some Soviet influences thrown in for good measure).
