First time I've ever seen a German tank with the legendary 'log' on the back that so many Soviet vehicles carried. The Stalinwood spoilers are a meme in World of Tanks  and War Thunder.

What do you mean ?
Is it because the logs in world of tank was badly coded ? or something like that ?

Germans had them especially at the beginning of the war.
A famous picture:

If you want, we can find you more !

Combat Group Mühlenkamp 5th SS Panzer Division (5.SS-Panzer-Division "Wiking") in the Nuzhets-Stacja (Nurzec-Stacja). In the front of the Sd.Kfz.251 armored personnel carrier is SS Untersturmfuhrer Gerhard Mahn. Counterattacks were made in an attempt to contain the rapid advance of tank units of the Red Army during Operation Bagration. In the background, the tank "Panther" Pz.Kpfw. V Ausf. G. G. Man in the same armored vehicle is captured in the following photo.

That's Ausf A late. Wiking had Panther Ausf D, early Ausf A, late Ausf A during that period.

Nah, it's because every other Soviet tank has one and they look like spoilers. Especially because in WoT the Soviet tanks tend to have go-kart mobility for 'non bias' reasons. In War Thunder some logs actually have armor value (100 or 150mm) in the armor viewer, not sure if it's a bug or the devs are joking around.
