The '''Begleitpanzer 57''' is a Tier 5 progression [[Light Tank]] under [[Marat Shishkin]]'s dealership.

==History==
Class: Light Tank (Prototype)<br>
Developed: 1975-1977<br>
Service: N/A<br>
Vehicles Built: 1<br>
Operators: N/A

Created by West Germany, the Begleitpanzer ("Escort Tank") prototype was built on a Marder IFV chassis as a private venture to accompany IFVs to battle and to provide fire support with its powerful 57mm Bofors cannon. The development was launched in the mid-1970s with the vehicle being unveiled to the world in 1977. Unfortunately, the vehicle was unable to attract any buyers and never went into production. A notable feature for the vehicle was that it could carry a small scouting party, which effectively doubled the total crew for the vehicle by utilizing the scouts to assist with reloading. 

==Vehicle Traits==
*Stealthy: This vehicle does not lose any camouflage when moving at any speed, which is handy primarily for scouting.
*Improved Reverse: This vehicle can drive backwards much faster than other vehicles can.
