A while back I visited a museum, where one of the exhibitions was one of the prototypes for the 'experimentalfahrzeug 8x8' (experimental vehicle 8x8) also known as 'radkampfwagen 90' (wheeled fighting vehicle 90).
- a 780 hp, 8 cylinder diesel, to push the 36 ton vehicle to 120 kph max speed. The hull is 7 meters long, and it has a 12 meter turning radius.
But .. what else is known about this vehicle? How heavily was it armored, against what weapons? How powerful was its 90mm gun? When was it built? How many were there built? Did it have any troop carrying capacity? (doesn't look like it) Why wasn't it adopted into service? If Stryker is any indication, there is definitely a place in the modern army for fast, moderately armored, wheeled gun platforms.
EXF 8x8 looks undeniably bad-ass though, IMO.
The Radkampfwagen 90, due to it's speed, may be used in a flanking manner, being able to go around the enemy and surprise them where they do not expect. When flanking, it is recommended to use roads if possible, as the Radwagen is a wheeled vehicle, and rough terrain will slow it down. However, even offroad, the vehicle is still capable of speeds that are much higher than many other contemporary MBTs. The scouting ability of the Radwagen can also be very useful, as it can help you support your team without risking the possibility of being spotted/noticed by firing your gun. The only downside to this playstyle is that the Radwagen is unusually large in size, most notably the hull, which makes it easier to be spotted.
In Arcade, the playstyle of the Radwagen changes a bit. Due to markers that will tell everyone where the Radwagen is, flanking is not as good of a strategy. However, the vehicle retains all other advantages, and due to the slight engine boost in arcade, will be able to hit very high speeds even offroad. Of course, enemies will also be faster in general, which makes this extra speed redundant. The vehicle's scouting abilities are useful in aiding the team. Your gun, for its tier, is good, and its decently low shell drop will aid in those long range shots that are common in arcade. Just remember - this is a light vehicle in a gamemode where it can't really hide, so when playing this vehicle in Arcade, be cautious.![Radkampfwagen Radkampfwagen](https://warthunder.com/upload/image/! 2020 NEWS/03 March/Radkampfwagen/radpanzer_90_02_1280h720_42fe92b5b7e16ab33ed142359636b61b.jpg)
In Realistic, the Radwagen's speed and scouting abilities are even more prominent. As mentioned above, it can flank around the enemy with stealth, and either scout enemies for the team or quickly knock them out with its very punchy gun. The team also will benefit from its scouting abilities, as in a gamemode without enemy markers, intel of the enemies whereabouts can be crucial to the team's victory.![Radkampfwagen 90 real life Radkampfwagen 90 real life](/uploads/1/3/7/3/137352117/204333718.png)
The Radkampfwagen 90 is a German experimental wheeled tank, developed during the 1980’s to equip the Bundeswehr with a highly mobile and well armed combat vehicle. Despite never making it past prototype stage, tankers will soon have the chance to field test the Radkampfwagen 90 on the virtual battlefields of War Thunder in update 1.97. The Radkampfwagen 90, due to it's speed, may be used in a flanking manner, being able to go around the enemy and surprise them where they do not expect. When flanking, it is recommended to use roads if possible, as the Radwagen is a wheeled vehicle, and rough terrain will slow it down. 독일에서 자체 바퀴 달린 탱크를 얻으려는 시도는 냉전 종식 후 경험이 풍부한 Radkampfwagen 90 자동차를 만들었지 만, 양산에는 들어 가지 않았습니다.
As far as I've been able to dig up, this was a 70's or 80's prototype armored 90mm gun platform, with - according to the following youtube -- a 780 hp, 8 cylinder diesel, to push the 36 ton vehicle to 120 kph max speed. The hull is 7 meters long, and it has a 12 meter turning radius.

Introduction
General Playstyle
The Radkampfwagen 90, due to it's speed, may be used in a flanking manner, being able to go around the enemy and surprise them where they do not expect. When flanking, it is recommended to use roads if possible, as the Radwagen is a wheeled vehicle, and rough terrain will slow it down. However, even offroad, the vehicle is still capable of speeds that are much higher than many other contemporary MBTs. The scouting ability of the Radwagen can also be very useful, as it can help you support your team without risking the possibility of being spotted/noticed by firing your gun. The only downside to this playstyle is that the Radwagen is unusually large in size, most notably the hull, which makes it easier to be spotted.
The Radkampfwagen may also be used in a playstyle of a fast MBT. While the hull of the Radwagen is weak, not really well armoured, and prone to hullbreak, and easy to hit, the turret of the vehicle has multiple well angled and very bouncy plates, both interior and exterior, which allows the turret to sometimes take hits without damage, or even ricochet some shells. This bouncy turret can be used in a hull-down position, like a ridgeline, or a pile or rubble. However, it is important to note that even though enemy shells have a chance of bouncing, it is best not to rely on this, and to use the vehicle's stabilizer and situational awareness to get the first shot off.

In Arcade, the playstyle of the Radwagen changes a bit. Due to markers that will tell everyone where the Radwagen is, flanking is not as good of a strategy.

- 30biliHKG3610 months ago@BaconAircraft Ah, this is the problem of the hierarchical differentiation mechanism produced by Gaijin. If you don’t want to see the angry stuff like Radpanzer 90 while driving the T-62, I think you can try to Stimulate Battle XD

- 150sneekibreekiasu5711 months agonice work but this is not warthunder we don't need to know this stuff which pretty much all warthunder players will know this information.And anyways this will be in the vehicle description on the warthunder wiki really nice work tho
- ModEternalDarkness11 months ago@Mrrobothaha that's why you should always first post unlisted, see if there's anything wrong with the post, and then use a 'publish' feature to make it public.
- 12.0kgirlsandpanzer11 months ago@EternalDarkness Oh no ! (TmT) this is already second time I upload this work >︵<
- ModEternalDarkness11 months ago@Mrrobothaha it's a bug that happens on upload. Only fix would be to reupload.
- 12.0kgirlsandpanzer11 months ago@EternalDarkness why the main picture of this page cannt preloading………
