Team Yankee West German Kanonenjagdpanzer Zug (x4)
The Kanonenjagdpanzer was a post-war development of Germany’s famous World War II Jagdpanzer concept. Armed with a 90mm gun in a low-profile casemate hull, it was designed to provide West Germany with a cost-effective tank destroyer during the early Cold War. By the 1980s, these vehicles were still in service, offering ambush capability and fire support alongside more modern Leopard tanks. In Team Yankee, the Kanonenjagdpanzer Zug adds unique character and firepower to Bundeswehr formations.

About the Vehicle:
Developed in the 1960s, the Kanonenjagdpanzer carried a 90mm gun in a fixed superstructure, optimized for defensive ambushes and direct fire support. Although eventually outclassed by newer MBTs, it remained in use into the 1980s, reflecting NATO doctrine of layered defense and battlefield flexibility. Its small profile and mobility made it effective in concealed positions.
