This particular model should be able to carry one crate of vehicle supplies. Thereby increasing its hitting strenght.

And why "should it" ? There is no room anymore with that huge gun installed.

It normally carries 4 crates of vehicles supplies. There should be room for one crate with the gun. It's a good selling point.

Reviving this one.

The sdkfz has no life. It is a true hanger queen. No one is going to pull it out over an M3. So, threw a artillery piece on it and one box of vehicle supplies simultaneously and let's call it an addition.

The SDK has no life only if you don't do the homework.. Find the firing spots and you can take out large targets from out of sight in 3 seconds flat, each.  With some teamwork you can shut down a small field in just 3 seconds.  5 SDKs all set in firing position with supplies out, or 3 SDKs with some maneuvering involved.  You'd have to know the firing positions and drive from the first to second (with 1 SDK free to backup any of the other 2 with .5 hangar's worth of ordnance), but even that's just a matter of seconds.

Watched a "squad" in EW take down HQ with sdkfz 251s and Lvts the other nite.

How much faster would this thing be than a Panzer if it had the gun in place?

If it was considerably faster, it would probably see alot more use than it does now.

Probably.

I LIKE IT  :aok  

For expert tankers, it should be a perk farmin monster, due to its vulnerability and risky nature...
But with good mobility, and heavy firepower..   Shoot and scoot, would be alot of fun in this unit...

C'mon guys, its an ambush weapon, never designed to stand toe to toe with tanks...

IMO, The game is becoming very much like canned ham... Great stuff, but a steady diet of it
gets boring, ya know?   I'd like a little spice in my food...

Lets put a little ginger on it!!!

Moot,

I have completed that homework assignment last year. The sdk's rockets are quite devastating from 2 Km out. Most guys are not going to complete that assignment.

So, an artillery piece and a box of vehicle supplies gets this puppy some more time. I agree with RipChord. This is an ambush wagon, perk mobile...

Also it can be given the option of carrying three troops or a box of vehicle supplies. Now you can go in and capture a base strapped to the teeth.  :D

Cheers...

but they weren't very powerful


 +1 on this suggestion,I do a lot of ambushin when I'm in a gv,and the only perk-farmer now is the T34/76,it works pretty good,but it bounces around a lot and dosen't look as cool as an SDK :P

The 251/9 would be the better bet, imo.  Having a 75mm infantry gun to help take out towns similar in ways to the LVT4 would be nice.
