Panzerkleinzerstörer Rutscher

Also known as the E5, was a competitor to the much more widely known Jagdpanzer 38t "Hetzer"

Not a lot of information is known about this vehicle, likely due to documents being destroyed during the last months of the war.
There exists only one real photo that i know of, and that of a wooden mockup, so its use in combat is highly questionable. Either way, i found it to be a fun building experience, until i had to actually make it work.. Which i did, and rather well i would say-

Now, enough of the chit-chat, lets get to business..


-The Rutscher is equipped with one single-shot Heavy Autocannon, as to replicate the use of a supposed Anti-Tank recoilless rifle

-Ammo count of 20 in a drum located directly beneath the breech, which, as stated above, must be loaded manually

-Due to space limitations, the crew was cut down to one, instead of two

-A compact but powerfull drivetrain manages to get the Rutscher up to its top speed of 50 Km/H quite effectively, with the reverse gear matching the forward gear

Now, how do we use this mean gal-


Nothing complicated here, once you get a hold of the control handles, its as simple as presing the starter switch, starting up the Radiator Fans, and pressing the clutch all the way.

Simple W/S controls due to, yet again, space limitations (Thats right! There isnt enough space for an extra gearbox!)

Now, keep in mind that the gun sometimes likes to get stuck if you try to elevate or depress it too much, so just watch out for that.

That should be all, an upload after a while, and i have another dozen vehicles on the backburner, so stay tuned!
