Tank description:

The Spähpanzer SP I C is a German tier 7 light tank.The reconnaissance tank destroyer was being developed by Hotchkiss and Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz companies from 1956 through 1962 in order to increase the anti-tank capability of recon tank battalions. A 90-mm anti-tank gun was planned to be mounted on the new vehicle. The project was eventually declined. The number of prototypes built is unknown.The SP 1. C is very slow compared to its counterparts and has trouble reaching its low top speed of 58 km/h, but with its great forward gun depression of -10 degrees it can make good use of terrain to hide its hull while firing. Flanking can be done, but one should equip 105-Octane if one intends to flank in this tank frequently. If you want a good active scout or a tier 7 ELC, then you should be looking at getting something else. After learning to adapt to it''s unique playstlye, one will really enjoy the grind.The Spähpanzer SP I C leads to the HWK 12.
