SdKfz 251/22
« on: August 05, 2010, 04:21:45 PM »
Please give us the SdKfz with a Pak 40 on top. I mean it can't even outrun a T-34, so its not like the M18.

It will give us something to test how turretles GV's would fare, and what effect they would have on the game without making a whole new vehicle from scratch. It would also provide a source of limitless entertainment, just watching these things scurry around, running from your tiger.

I am a bit surprised that HTC does not, or rather has yet to add in more variants of the M3 and SdKfz 251 half tracks. Since the chassis is there, just a wee bit of engine performance tweaking for any added weight the mounted weapon may add, and shazam!... we have another card to add to the deck.

I'm sure there are a good number of players that would up an M3 with the M1A1 gun mounted on it to rush to town to fend off the hoard.

Just thought of another reason to add this: it will be the only high ENY GV with a good gun.

Why the hell not? Great idea! Question is, what year and what type of ammunition would we get?

Some stats on the Pak-40 :

Imowface, do you REALLY think that a panzer with an M3's armor would keep its ENY at 25? I'm doubtfull of that.


Joe, I'm guessing we would get HE and standard AP. But I would love to see the Tungsten cored round introduced. Maybe have it serve a similar role to the HVAP rounds for the T-34? I mean given its armor, it needs something to offset the armor if they DO give it an ENY 25.

thats what I was saying nemisis, you said it would be a high ENY gv with a good gun, and I said that they would probably lower its ENY

It didn't arrive until 6 months before the end, so that narrows the year down :)

I recognize the possibility but I don't think its likely. This would be the only cannon armed GV able to be out right killed, not just tracked by 303's.

Naaaaaaaaaah.  Really?   :headscratch:  It has more armor that the LVT, no?

just as much as the M3. Oh sure, its sloped a little, but its no tougher to kill IMO. I've killed one with the mossie's 303's before.

I want a Panther, King Tiger, Panzar III, and the sdkfz 251/22. More tanks should be added to this game, plus M-18, Perishing tank, and Cromwell. Gets a bit boring seeing the same tank on the field everyday, and it's mostly the M476 now and not alot of panzars, tigers, and T-34s like before. +1 Nem :aok
