General information
The Ostwind II (German for "east wind") was a German World War II-era prototype self-propelled anti-aircraft gun built on the chassis of a Pz.IV medium tank. Unlike the first Ostwind, it was armed with two twin 37 mm FlaK44 cannons. According to some sources, several prototypes were assembled in 1945; however, it did not enter into mass production.
The Ostwind II was introduced in Update 2.43 "Storm Warning". The anti-aircraft gun's main use is to protect ground forces from enemy planes. Its rapid-fire 37 mm guns can destroy an aircraft's wing with a single hit. However, the Ostwind II's open turret makes it vulnerable to aircraft and tanks. This version of the Ostwind II differs from the original in that it has a camouflage net.
