Dang! was hoping the US soldiers would be a small stumbling block at least
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

20mm, but only one Skink ever saw combat and it never entered production due to lack of need.

Total lack of foresight on their part. We need that in game.

That's a bridging vehicle based on the Pzr 1 chassis. Called a Brückenleger. Pretty useless given the small size of the Pzr 1.
