End a hangar queen status
« on: June 11, 2013, 07:17:58 PM »
People complain about the ability of a jeep or m3 to be able to repair tanks instantly. Why not take the vehicle repair (still allow ammunition) away from these vehicles and give it to the Sd.Kfz? Since it was actually used as a tractor of artillery during the war this would be closer to a role it fulfilled than anything the M3 or jeep did. However, it would be better if we could get the tank recovery vehicles added that were actually used to recover medium and heavy tanks. Still, I thought this might help get the Sd.Kfz out of its current uncommon status.

Or just give it the "useful options" it did have like the M3

I actually agree, its easy to up a Tiger 2 and have someone on stand by bring you sups in a Jeep. Fact is 99% will sit on concrete, but to actually need to supplies, you shouldn't be able to get them at a snap of a finger. (Jeep).

True any roaming aircraft with a 30 cal can take down a jeep, m3 or Sdkfz, however its far to easy to resupply a vehicle if you have any help - and its almost instant.

HTC could make use of the SdKfz 251 in a number of ways.  For purposes in AH, they could use a mortar version (something not currently in AH), the infantry support gun (very similar to the LVT4), the AT version (75mm AT gun with serious AP ability), an AA version with triple 20mm (faster than wirby, %25 less firepower, yes slower than M16 and more firepower than M16), and for EW use the3.7cm or 5cm AT gun would be nice to see as well.

The SdKfz 251 is a very capable gv, but the #1 use for it (carrying troops) is over shadowed by the M3 due to speed.

I support anything that would result in increased use of the 251.  I also think that the M20 75mm Recoilless Rifle should be added to the Jeep with a small perk price to reflect its very late war usage.
