The version we have here is the Ausf C, which was produced from 1940 to 43. The A and B looked very similar to the C, but the D was extensively revised and looked a bit different.

Yes, I know there were models A - D, but which variant of the "C" model do we have?

It is a 251/1, the standard troop carrying version. The rockets are a weapon option you select in the hangar.

Is this half-Track more hevily armored than the M-3? Also can you kill a GV with the rockets?

Im having visions of the new GVs roaring out of the woods upon a helpless Bish town. The 20mm flakwagons mowing down Lancstukas. The 251s flinging those big rockets all over the place.

What a beautiful sight thats going to be.

Im curious... since those rockets are probably like the PT boats, in that its kind of hard to tell where they are landing, will we see jeeps or other GVs acting as artillery spotters?

From what's said about it, they will not be able to be aimed like the rockets on our pt boats.

They are fixed in pre set angles.

Doesnt mean we wont have the option of setting them up, or maby using a dot command to set the range.

angelsandair · « **Reply #28 on:** February 28, 2008, 02:29:04 AM »

Well, with all of these updates and the 3 or 4 more modeled planes or tanks coming up, will this be AHIII??
