Burstyn Motorgeschütz

A pre-war tank design, although surprisingly modern it was rejected by the army.

Design
Thought up by the Austrian engineer Günter Burstyn, and presented to the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1911. The unique articulated arms allowed it to easily climb obstacles when raised, and cross trenches when lowered. It also possessed a turret, something that would be seen on tanks again until 1917. Armament was fairly light, one 37mm gun and two machine guns were planned to be mounted, but the prototype never received them. Only one prototype created and rejected.

Pros Cons
 * Fast
 * Excellent off road capabilities
 * Turret
 * Thick Armor
 * Mediocre weaponry

Campaign
Do not make the same mistakes as your real life counterparts, one of the first things you should do is attempt to revive this design and put it in serial production. They will be most useful against the Russians and Serbians, the terrain on the Italian Front is too mountainous for armor to do much good, and getting them farther south than Serbia will be rather complicated due to a lack of roads.
