SdKfz 251/22 Ausf D (PaK 40) ?

[T34 Glory]

just maybe a silly suggestion.

but this vehicule may be a good add, particulary in some infantry maps or combined maps.
Sometimes i get pissed of seeing players just use the 251 for move faster and just abandon it istead of using it as a support role.

This one may help a bit and add a "light" armored vehicule with a good fire power for support, but still vulnerable.

also, since there's already a 251 in the game, modeling one should not be too hard? (i'm not a modeler so i may be wrong)
but just removing the MG and making a Pak 40 should not be a big deal?

i would love to model one one, but i know nothing about modeling

tell me what you think about it.

I think it

 

[EvilHobo]

AHz is working on it.

 

[D3terioNation]

Does anyone know how far they've got with it?

 

[Lt_Kettch]

It got delayed because they planned to release one huge pack with the truck, KV-1 and everything else at once

But they didn't tell when it will be done.

 

[D3terioNation]

Good things come to those who wait huh?

Model has been complete for months. We are finalizing another half-dozen items for one large roll-out.

It's a cool vehicle but I'm not sure if it would make much difference to the game. Basically it's just a StuG with paper armor and slightly better speed.

 

[Slyk]

Its all about how a mapper wants to implement it. You could say the same for any vehicle stock or custom. Why have a Tiger when an IS-2 will kill it? Same argument. Mappers should create plausible scenarios where a variety of weapon platforms can have a role, not just chuck them in because they can.

Surely you won't be able to have as very many passengers with that gun in place will you? Thinking that the halftrack has yet to see someone actually use that front passenger seat next to the driver.

 

[SchutzeSepp]

these baby's didn't have passenger seats anymore, instead ammo storage boxes. not sure if this will be the case with this vehicle in game.

i think it can compete with the stug, it has faster reload, drives fastre and is a tougher target , smaller target but higher (can be an advantage) and the stug can hardly take any hits, so that wont make such a big difference here.

 

[Slyk]

Our version is built on the TWI stock model. It's not a fancy new vehicle but gets the job done so yes, it has a passenger seat. It comes with three skins. It is quick, fast shooting, and very easy to hide/ambush with. Mappers should plan ahead to place cover usable for the vehicles, much like you see in the opening of the video I linked to above...all but impossible to find in a patch of bushes.

As a side note, we now have two additional vehicles being released with the upcoming package. More on that later in a new thread where we can show off all the vehicles with their skins and variants of each vehicle.

 

[2fisted]

Damn, a few of these would be perfect in Pripet_Marsh1944 imo.

The speed & ability to set up an ambush with this sdkfz will be sweet!

Remember that this is a vehicle from '45.

Since most of you have seen this, it's nothing new so consider it a bit of a teaser for the upcoming package. And yes, we realize the number is wrong on the lower-center picture. Blame TWI for being lazy and not giving us two sides to the skins. We'll have a new number for release.

 

[EvilHobo]

Well hmm, if it wasn't produced until '44 that makes it void for 1941 maps then eh?

And what does using "Elnya" or "Klin" for promo pictures have to do with that?
