notice how on these pictures the soldiers that sit inside the universal carrier and the sdkfz 251 have their heads stick out!
in the in-game UC and sdkfz, the soldiers are completely hidden inside, is this a deliberate choice? because in real life your head would stick out of those vehicles... just asking

I love that site, the drawings a so immaculate!

Do you think they may have got the dimensions of the model slightly wrong? Cos the occupants in-game look alot smaller then irl

 

[SchutzeSepp]

well i made a 1:35 model of a sdkfz 251 once, and i remember that the two driver seat in front were lower than the rear seats. there was a little step between them. in the game if im right the seats are all at the same level

BTW, is there any chance of having the sdkfz pakwagen in a future update? its not like a complete new vehicle
since its just a halftrack with a pak gun. this could make of the sdkfz a vehicle "not to mess with" giving the
infantry anti-tank power without having actual tanks de-stabilising the battles

Can you give us a date on when the patch is going to be released, in oktober or november?

Exactly, here another one:

So looking over the shield of the MG should be possible.
Allthough that has been suggested on several occasions.

 

[killerbee_zor]

will the new map danzig have a new ambient sound?

ofcourse, you only had to stand up. But it isn't nessesery for the infantry because that would be hard to do for the animator.

if the infantry inside the sdkfz could stand up and shoot outside then that would make the sdkfz an incredibly effective mobile bunker. think of panzerfausts... or commanders that could use binoculars and call strike through the sdkfz radio

and instead of making animations for this, why not just open the back doors so you can walk in and shoot out of it going from stand up to crouch so your in cover between shots

That soldier in the back is holding a nagant! (sorry for the random obsorvation)

its probably a reenactment picture, the vehicle is way to clean and unmarked, plus the picture quality is to good

 

[Gwart]

Its a post war Czech built Hanomag in the above pic ,

 

[Felix Ostheim]

Please make standing to look over MG shield possible on the halftrack, taht would be so useful.

I doubt that you'd use a Panzerfaust in a vehicle, especially if people are sitting behind you.
It is very risky to use a Panzerfaust in a not open place. You could do that with the PIAT.

Thanks for the clarification Gwart.

 

[LukeFF]

think of panzerfausts...

...and the burns you'll leave on them when you fire one off.

 

[Avron]

Don't misconstrue me, of course I like every new content to ro but I can't get into the new update.

The two vehicles are nice new 3d models but they don't bring any gameplay enhancements. I don't think bringing the panzer IV H is a good idea because the skirts aren't modeled realistically enough. In real life they fellt easily off.
The BF mod Battlegroup42 has a feature for random missing skirt plates:

The enhanced view distance is very promising, even though no official map uses it. But I hope in the future!

The seating on the 251 series was all on the same level,drivers and passengers.

Whilst seated the head was way below the top of the vehicle,unless you we're 7' tall or had a really big hat on.

and where did you get this information? im holding my sdkfz 251 model in my hands right now and the driver seats are defenately lower than the passenger seats, at least 30 cm! and i also have ww2 books with pictures that clearly show that sitting passengers have their heads stick out. the reason for this level difference is the spring system of the track wheels that is placed underneath the passenger area. you will notice that the driver seats are lower since they are above the first tracktion wheel that has no suspension system

I doubt that you'd use a Panzerfaust in a vehicle, especially if people are sitting behind you.

right, but if youre the only one standing up, then you can fire it without problems.

 

[Gwart]

Your right , i've found some groundbreaking evidence in the last few minutes that proves it.

Speaking of model kits though here's a sprue for Dragon's 'D' model 251

All nice and 'level' for the seats to go on, with maybe a 4-6 inch difference in r/l between the seat
cusion heights.Thats for Drivers and Passengers.

Hardly a full foot as you claim though.

Are you referencing the Tamiya kit>?.

 

[TheClosedPistachio]

ZOMG! Where can I get a LEGO halftrack??

Also, awesome job Tripwire!

I was so hoping for a transport for the russians, and my hope came true in a most unexpected and cool vehicle!

I hope we see more lend-lease stuff in the future(tanks). Although, after you guys add more soviet/german tank destroyers/SPG's.
