Overview[]

European Escalation[]

A fast unit, the SpPz Luchs is a good recon vehicle choice. It shares many characteristics with the French ERC 90 Sagaie in terms of mobility and recon abilities. Yet, with an armor rated 1/1/0/0, it is still lightly armored but better protected on its flanks.

  • High speed. While slightly inferior to the ERC-90 Sagaie it is the second fastest vehicle of its category.
  • Good Operational range with low fuel consumption.
  • Side armour.
  • Good optics.
