most likely yes. There might be other versions comming out with it. I hope we get one with a towed 88mm. That would be awsome!!!

The 251 wasn't used for towing 88's. For towing such huge guns there were specialised artillery tracors, like the Sd.Kfz. 7 or sometimes even bigger ones.

Some 251 trivia:
The Sd Kfz 251 was the German army's standard APC from the Polish campaign right to the end of the war. There were four marks of 251, the Ausfs A to D. 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.
-
Well, with all of these updates and the 3 or 4 more modeled planes or tanks coming up, will this be AHIII??

SdKfz 251/1
Crew of 7. Had 2 MG34s or MG42s. Had 5: 28cm Sprengranate (HE round) and 1: 32cm Flammgranate (incendiary round). After France in 1940 J. Gast KG, Berlin were ordered to create a projector for the Wurfgerät 40. The elevation was +5° to +40°. Firing took 10 seconds and the range of 1.9 km for Sprengranate and 2.2 km for Flammgranate.
-
Yeah well it all started with the new P-39 right?
Hey one question. At the end of the movie "The Dirty Dozen" what kind of German vehicle did the few surviving Yanks getaway in? If I remember right it looked awfully like the 251.
-
SdKfz 7 artillery tractor.
-
AHII has some exciting stuff coming soon. Salute AH.
(yeah, I know, sounds like shameful sucking up) But they deserve kudos for giving us more. In my case, more stuff to die/crash in.
