 <!-- ''In the description, the first part should be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert a screenshot of the vehicle, so that if the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, he will immediately understand what kind of vehicle the article is talking about.'' -->
-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a rank {{Specs|rank}} German SPAA {{Battle-rating}}. It was introduced in [[Update "Ground Breaking"]].
+In the end of the Cold War, the Bundeswehr reorganized towards a quick reaction force (Krisenreaktionskräfte) and recognized the air defense capabilities for the new organization was lacking. Requiring a highly-mobile and lightweight system to defend against low-flying threats that is able to keep up with the new force, a competition started in 1990s that selected the Leichtes Flugabwehrsystem (Lightweight anti-aircraft system) produced by a cooperation between STN Atlas Electronic and Wegmann & co. The design was based on the Wiesel 2 platform to allow for easier strategic transportation, and the entire weapon system consisted of several vehicle types: the weapon carrier ''Ozelot'' with Stinger launchers, a reconnaissance and fire control vehicle that helps monitor the airspace, and a command post vehicle to help coordinate the air defense batteries. The weapon system and the Ozelot began replacing the outdated Gepard SPAAG by 2012 as the mobile air defense system for the Bundeswehr.

 === Engaging planes ===
-Engaging planes is more challenging due to the missile's low turning rate and energy retention. It is recommended to lock the target using your optical sensor or direct lock in the gunner's optics, but this is not required. As a rule of thumb for fast flying planes, aim as much as possible in front of where the plane is going to be and a little bit higher. Engaging a fast flying plane that is not flying towards you or away from you will usually cause the missile to miss. Experienced pilots will try to spot the white fume trail of the missile launch and will turn very hard, which is very likely to out-turn your missile. Since maneuvering planes will lose energy, you can drain the energy/speed of the plane to a level where you can hit it with your 3rd or 4th missile. If you wait with the launch of the 4th missile until the plane is at 1.5 km, the plane cannot engage you after evading the last missile. However, if you fire your last missile in the magazine too early, they will use their guns to wipe you off the map. Unless you can replenish your missiles on a cap point, it may be more efficient to not fire at planes circling your position.

-The Wiesel 2 entered service in 2001. This new vehicle was larger, faster, stronger and more advanced than its predecessor. The Wiesel 2 was outfitted with a more advanced engine and fuel injector along with automatic transmission. The vehicle also saw an upgrade in armor, as it was slightly more advanced than the Wiesel 1's. Lastly the Wiesel 2 received an air conditioning system for the crew’s comfort in the small tankette. Lastly the Wiesel 2 received an integrated NBC protection system to ensure the crew’s safety against nuclear and chemical threats.
