Description

GarageImage Begleitpanzer 57.jpg


The Begleitpanzer 57 is a Rank VI German light tank with a battle rating of 9.7 (AB) and 9.3 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.73 "Vive la France".

At first glance, the Begleitpanzer 57 may be confused for a SPAA due to the light armoured chassis and a rapid-fire 57 mm auto cannon. On the turret's is also a TOW launcher that can be fired in a SACLOS manner, meaning it will automatically align itself with the cross hair in flight.

The Begleitpanzer 57 overall construction is similar to that of the T114 with light armour all around that even heavy machine gun ammunition can penetrate through the sides. The turret's nature with its exterior gun mount also has its similarities.

As a light tank, the Begleitpanzer 57 carries a great firepower punch for its mobility despite its lack of armour. A rapid firing 57 mm cannon carries enough penetration rivaling that of the ZSU-57-2, but the addition of a TOW launcher system makes this vehicle a dangerous opponent by being able to engage a variety of target at its leisure.

While the cannon shares the caliber with the Russian 57 mm gun, it is quite different in performance. The Russian SPAA has a slightly better combined fire rate and significantly more accuracy at range. You also start to lose the penetration advantage at 1 km compared to the APHE belt of the ZSU-57-2. All of this combined makes you very reliant on your ATGM, of which you only have 6. Upgrading to the better ATGM is highly encouraged, the APHE belt can be completely ignored as it can not reliably perforate Russian side armor.

Usage in battles

Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • 57 mm useful against light armoured vehicles like light tanks and Leopards.
  • Great for spotting / disabling tracks and cannon parts.
  • Can take out aircraft from a 45 degree angle or lower.
  • When flanking, can easily destroy tanks from the side.
  • Armour can withstand 7.62mm (.30) bullets from the front, but higher caliber AP will penetrate.

Cons:

  • Most high-caliber machine guns (higher than .50 cals) will go through any of its armor.
  • Its 45 degree gun elevation makes it vulnerable to high angle attacks.
  • Easy be hull broken.
  • Cannot take on most tanks from the front.
  • Fairly low ammunition count.
  • Lack of a stabilizer
  • Gun breech can be damaged from 7mm machine guns
  • Must stop to use AGTMs

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
