Flakpanzer Iv Wirbelwind

The Flak 43 was housed in an open-topped, hexagonal turret, allowing for high-angle fire and better visibility for tracking fast-moving aerial targets. While this left the crew vulnerable to shrapnel and overhead attack, it greatly improved their reaction time and effectiveness. Beyond its primary anti-air role, the Ostwind proved equally valuable in engaging infantry and light vehicles, thanks to the high rate of fire and explosive impact of its 37mm shells.

Produced in limited numbers late in the war, the Ostwind was assigned to anti-aircraft detachments within panzer divisions. In Bolt Action, it offers German players a versatile support vehicle capable of both defending against aircraft and threatening ground units. Its distinctive silhouette and battlefield utility make it a standout addition for both players and collectors seeking to expand their late-war German forces.
