Tank description:

The Wespe is a German tier 3 self-propelled gun.Self-propelled gun on the basis of the outdated Pz.Kpfw. II. The vehicle was designed as a mobile artillery unit for armored forces. The armored cabin with the modified 105 mm field howitzer was mounted on the middle and rear parts of the chassis. This SPG was a successful re-use of the outdated chassis. A total of 700 vehicles were built from 1943 through 1944.It is an excellent SPG for its tier. It is somewhat accurate and has a good gun with a high alpha damage for an SPG. Its traverse speed is slow, and the engine has low horsepower, so it requires good positioning at the beginning of the battle; it takes time to change position. Later SPGs are significantly faster.The Wespe marks the end of its German self-propelled gun line.
