While I've seen a bunch of posts pointing to how Minor trees can get expanded, I'm surprised by the lack of recommendations for the trees that actually have the most players. As I've posted [before](https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1tmc6ud/why_is_gaijin_letting_one_of_the_big_three_gather/), the German tree is in need of a significant level of support.

Here are 11 vehicles that will meaningfully reinforce the German Tree.

|Vehicle|Description|BR|Source|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|Keiler ET.01/02|Germany Needs something to pair with the Beigle-57, and currently the OF-40 Premium one ups the Leopard 1a5. The Keilers and other early Leopard 2 Prototypes up the horsepower to 1500.|9.7|[https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1itcw09/leopard\_2\_prototypes/](https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1itcw09/leopard_2_prototypes/)|
|Spah Panzer IC|Germany needs more light tanks and this is a great option for the King tigers at 6.7/7.0 with a 90mm heatfs cannon.|6.7|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/add-spahpanzer-kurz-and-spahpanzer-sp-i-c-for-germany-at-5-0-and-6-7/38842](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/add-spahpanzer-kurz-and-spahpanzer-sp-i-c-for-germany-at-5-0-and-6-7/38842)|
|Leopard 2 140mm RuAg|Germany needs something between 10.7 and 12.3, and this older 140mm testbed should give Germany that intermediate lineup. It's also vital to get Germany more Swiss vehicles before the French steal some from the German tree.|11.7|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/panzer-87-140-we-the-alpine-hammer/76081](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/panzer-87-140-we-the-alpine-hammer/76081)|
|Shark Clovis|Another option to pair with the Beigle 57, a Swiss IFV with the turret of the German Clovis project.|9.7|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/mowag-shark-fl-20-a-whelled-mbt/159933](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/mowag-shark-fl-20-a-whelled-mbt/159933)|
|AH-64E Gevechtshelikopter|A Dutch Apache that is both part of the German armed command chain AND uses FNF missiles.|||
|Fennek ATM|A fast atgm carrier to change up from the usual, a German-Dutch Fennek scout car with a advanced ATGM turret.|9.7|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/benelux-belgium-netherlands-luxembourg-ground-forces-techtree/30216](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/benelux-belgium-netherlands-luxembourg-ground-forces-techtree/30216)|
|Shark JaPz.K A2|A way to give the TAM a lineup, a Swiss IFV with the turret of an Austrian tank.|9|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/mowag-shark-fl-12-swiss-land-predator/159935](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/mowag-shark-fl-12-swiss-land-predator/159935)|
|Leopard 1 Prototype.|Germany needs more tanks after the King tiger, and this would ease Germany into the cold war.|7.7|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/leopard-pt-b-1-paving-the-path-to-a-new-era/276414](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/leopard-pt-b-1-paving-the-path-to-a-new-era/276414)|
|Cheetah PRTL Stinger|An SPAAG to bridge from the Gepards to the Skyranger, the German/Dutch vehicle should be very effective with upgraded systems and ammo.|10.3|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/prtl-gwi-cheetah-a-newer-better-dutch-air-defense-on-tracks/152484](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/prtl-gwi-cheetah-a-newer-better-dutch-air-defense-on-tracks/152484)|
|Skyranger 30|Germany needs something that can match Russian SPAA. The Skyranger has missiles and guns with AHEAD rounds, so that will be a good start.|11.0|[https://forum.warthunder.com/t/boxer-skyranger-30-precision-firepower/75173](https://forum.warthunder.com/t/boxer-skyranger-30-precision-firepower/75173)|
|Leopard 2 KVT|To pair with the 140mm Leopard 2, this is a 2a4 with additional amor and could access better ammo.|11.7|[https://en.rattibha.com/thread/1798788891492929669](https://en.rattibha.com/thread/1798788891492929669)|

This won't fix the light tank issue Germany has overall, nor the MBT one, but it would be a solid step forward.
