The Krupp-Steyr Waffenträger is a German tier 7 premium tank destroyer.
A vehicle project by Steyr as a special artillery transporter that would be able not only to transport the gun but also to fire it from the chassis. To keep costs down and reduce complexity, the design used many components of the Raupenschlepper Ost, a tracked artillery mover. The turret and gun were supplied by Krupp. One wooden model and one prototype were manufactured by September 2, 1944.

Performance
Something of a cross between the M56 Scorpion and the Rheinmetall Skorpion G, the Krupp-Steyr relies on stealth to snipe from a distance. Binoculars are an absolute necessity, because the viewrange is rather short. Avoid closing with the enemy at all costs. The turret allows you to make the most effective use of a combination of cammo net and binoculars, and offsets the fact that the Krupp-Steyr is not as stealthy as the M56 Scorpion. Unfortunately, the poor engine power and low top speed make it difficult to maintain a suitable distance. When retreating the enemy will overtake you, when avancing you may well fall behind the battle and become useless. The key to success is stealth. This vehicle can be very effective on maps with good concealment, but will struggle badly on city maps.
N.B. The two small viewports at the front block the gun depression, causing the gun to point upwards. This can become a fatal vulnerability should you find yourself forced into a turning fight at close range. However, the area of the hull either side of these viewport bumps is cut down, allowing for great gun depression which can be utilised for sniping from otherwise difficult positions.
