Hmmm, 4 seats and a 7.92mm mg...sounds like a real war winner. It isn't even 4 wheel drive.

...It isn't even 4 wheel drive.
Neither was the M3.

Neither was the M3.
Since when do halftracks require 4 wheel drive?
-
The kuebelwagen was basically the German jeep.
For frame of reference, anyone remember the VW "Thing" sold in America in the 70's?
That's pretty much what it looked like.

A lot of us older geeks know that but...Eric has to start posting more information than his usual "blah blah, we need blah blah blah" and that's it. There is no real justification for a Kubelwagen other than "it would be awesome to have"...(like the B-29)...and I for one am not feeding him the data or the justifications.
-
You're right!!! The B29 would be awesome! :lol

You asked Eric if the M3 wasn't getting the job done for him. Afterward you mentioned the Kubelwagen doesn't even have 4-wheel drive.

I usually have to look through my books for right information and data. And there is no german Jeep in the game yet so the Kuebelwagen would fit the space. I saw one once with 2 mg42 on it.

Operative word being once. Of all your "we need..." posts few if any have any pertinent data in them and I'm not sure if you realize this or not but if HTC cannot get their hands on the technical data (the nuts and bolts stuff), you're wasting keystrokes with all these wishes.
Just to make it easier for yourself and avoid some of the flames...try putting down the picture books and 5th grade revised history stuff and follow the examples of others wish list items. You need to find reliable data that can be easily found and a photo to show what you are wanting to put in for consideration...then figure sometime in the next 5 or 10 years HTC may get around to it if it makes sense to include it.

more info on the kuebelwagen
The Volkswagen ("People's Car") was the product of Porsche and Mercedes-Benz engineering and design created in 1933 at Adolph Hitler's request, with the first production units - the Type 62 - appearing in 1936 - and based on Porsche’s VW Beetle design. When the type was selected to fill the ranks of the German military, several requested changes were implemented to produce the Type 82. By war's end, some 50,000 to 55,000 examples of the Volkswagen "Kubel" (meaning "bucket") or Kubelwagen (meaning "bucket automobile") would be produced - the name derived from the bucket-type appearance of the seats. Full production would begin in 1940.
The Volkswagen Kubel proved reliable, robust and well-liked by all banners that it operated under and served in the respect that the American Jeep would for the Allies. The Kubel was a light-weight and inexpensive production car with the capability to operate effectively on road and off road. Power for pre-1943 vehicles was served from a Volkswagen 4-cylinder engine producing some 24 horsepower and 998cc while 1943 models and on were served with a 25 horsepower engine delivering 1,131cc. The operational components of the Kubel design proved efficient and easy to maintain under the harshest of battlefield conditions and the air-cooled engine meant that it could operate well in colder temperatures when compared to a liquid-cooled derivative.
Crew protection was nothing more than a body made of sheet metal. The covering consisted of a convertible top covered with canvas with screens covering the windowless doors. Four doors served as the exit/entry methods for the driver and up to three passengers.
The Kubel appeared in a variety of types including the Type 92 which featured an enclosed body design. A tropical version known as the "Tropenfest" was also delivered when it was found that the Kubel in its basic form failed to impress in hot climates. These were fitted with special tires to navigate the deep sands of North Africa.

It's probably not something a lot of resources should be diverted to, but for scenarios and such it would be cool to have some country appropriate vehicles and troop transports and such, rather than have to sub the jeep and C-47 for every country.
So OK, +1, but only after a lot more important stuff is done.

agreed

Istanbul IS Constantinople!
But i thought Byzantium? :headscratch: :banana:
-
Nope....... The man is correct. Constantine, the night before his army sacked Istanbul, saw the Labarum in the sky....... He converted his army to Catholicism and the next morning they won a victory handily. Istanbul became Constantinople.
But i thought Byzantium? :headscratch: :banana:
But I'm still trying to figure out what this all has to do with socioeconomic instability in China..... :headscratch:
I know, I know!!!! :aok

You both have it wrong...Constantine was the demon hunter who survived a suicide attempt and was destined for hell unless he could redeem himself.
Byzantium was an old Greek (?) colony I believe...before Constantine took it over and turned it into the capital of the Eastern Roman empire (aka Byzantine empire)...it wasn't known as the Byzantine empire until modern times.

the Eastern Roman Empire was when the Empire was split in order to well...keep order. When the Western Roman Empire fell with the sacking of Rome the Eastern section became an independant Empire and was renamed the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantine Empire slowly declined far into the 2nd A.D. melennium

what about the ottomans?
The Byzantine–Ottoman Wars were a series of decisive conflicts between the Ottoman Turks and the Byzantine Greeks that led to the final destruction of the Byzantine Empire and the rise of the Ottoman Empire.

The Ottomans are the reason its called Istanbul today. When the Byzantines were destroyed the Ottomans took over and renamed it...again
