"Tiny Predator!"/"Sea Landship!”
Officially the Leichter Waffenträger, the Feldmaus was designed in response to the lack of strategic flexibility in the armoured units of the Rhona Pact, as Wandelburg attack could take weeks of set-up, requiring heavy transport, and cannot react to counter enemy armored thrusts. The Feldmaus was light enough to have the strategic mobility to do so, and once trench line broke down, the Feldmaus found it true calling, ambushing enemy convoys from concealed positions.
Assault operations in the Caproni Islands were handled primarily by the Fokker elements of the Rhona Pact, but nervous that they are ceding too much ground to their increasingly temporary ally, the Gotha military had employed expertise to design a new swimming tank, which then spiral out of control as more features were added, which meant more displacement, and this continued until the result is the underarmoured, oversized, and awkward Schwimmtraktor. The theory now was that it didn't have to be a good tank as island garrisons won't have any of their own, probably.
