ability to put sandbags on tanks

[Guppy35]

Would it be more or less perks for the wooden sides and wire grating on the hatches modifications?

  notice the 4 inches of dirt between the wood and the hull

Be some thing for spawn campers to do I suppose...........  fill the sand bags whilst waiting.

Sure... why not, and while we are at it, why not this too:

"Well, yeah, man, you see, like, all the tanks we come up against are bigger and better than ours, so all we can hope to do is, like, scare 'em away, y'know. This gun is an ordinary 76mm but we add this piece of pipe onto it, and the Krauts think, like, maybe it's a 90mm. We got our own ammunition, it's filled with paint. When we fire it, it makes... pretty pictures. Scares the hell outta people! We have a loudspeaker here, and when we go into battle we play music, very loud. It kind of... calms us down." - Oddball

Just even remotely going along with the sillyness of this post, HTC doesn't do field mods

i think the point of the sandbags was to trigger the fuse on the AP round before it hit the hull of the tank, so when it did reach the hull, the round was significantly weaker, and sometimes didnt penetrate at all.

Makes sence to me since the germans had a lot of APHE/HEAT rounds. I can see it helping with 50mm-75mm armed AFVs and ATGs depending on range, angle and luck but I dont think it would help after taking the 1st round. Might even be handy against some anti-tank infantry weapons aswell. (perhaps enough time to either get out of there or locate the target and return fire, or dissapate that infantrys anti-armour weapon)

Maybe they can make the burlap an orange color like the panzers "camo", make that Firefly and M4 stand out as bad as the panzer. *Poking fun at topic, as we dont have any sort of HEAT/APHE to begin with*

I do give you props however for a different wish other then "we need *insert 1945-1946 superdupernoober LW stuff* It would rulez"

idk if im correct but isnt the PnzrIVH side armor sheet a field mod or were they built in later in production lines?

I wouldn't think it's a field mod, not in this spirit. Sometimes things were refurbished at a depot level before going out to troops, not actually done by the troops themselves. That's not really the same as a field mod where some pilot hacks a P-38 to carry 6x50cal or whatever.
