This guide gives you many of the designs of German tanks of the Interwar and WW2 period
 
 

Introduction

The German army would develop many designs of tanks over the period of the war and this guide will try to give you the ability to produce as many of the vehicles as possible from historical designs as well as some blueprint tanks.
 
 
Keep in mind the Tank Designer in HOI IV doesn’t allow for a lot of variety in the modifications so many vehicles will be stuck with the same gun.
 
 
The design may say basic radio however you can put whatever radio you want on any of the tanks with the listed basic radio modification. Also the armour and engine upgrading is up to your own preference.
