Title: New german transport
Post by: Graf_Radetzky(CZ) on 01-07-2010, 13:07:16
Allo,
yes i know that it is all hard to make and code etc., but i would like to suggest some more german trucks. Allies have already Chewy, 2 Bedfords and GMC. Germans have just Blitz.

So:
Sdkfz 7
(http://www.achtungpanzer.com/votw/sdkfz7_2.jpg)
Krupp L2
(http://imcdb.org/images/053/067.jpg)
Horch 108 or 901
(http://www.vmv-olomouc.com/images/horch108.jpg)
(http://www.tankmodel.com/images/collection/1-2/147.jpg)

AND I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SUGGEST MOTORBIKES  ;)

neeeeeed motorbikes!  Been saying this for a looong time now.  Just one, zundapp.  Make it super fragile to gunfire, but as fast as a kubel, maybe a tiny bit quicker.

Yeah and put 'em in the desert and make a rally Paris-Dakar map  ;D
But I would definetly like to see more German trucks. I read that it was a logistics nightmare to maintain German trucks because there were so much of them and each had different parts etc. while the allies used few of them with compatible parts.

I would but I willl not drill extra holes for a MG mount in a original sidecar and can only have on for WW2 Reenactments. Anyways 10% or less of sidecar bikes had MGs on them. They are alot of fun to own but lots and lots of effort and $$$$ is required to keep them going. Would be awesome to see them in game though.

No, people will just use it to zoom around and break through into flagzones which looks retarded. The less kubel type vehicles we have, the better.

Was just trying to say that if one side gets something than the other side needs to get something too. Whatever it may be. Stg44 ZF was 5 minutes of work (I'm guessing), so I can't figure out why we couldn't have an M1 Garand scoped? Both things were way rarities.

But, the Willy's mounted .50cals by standard. FACT. US had progressed from the .303 to the .50 so it's nothing BIAS talked or what-do-I-know.

Thats what they were supposed to be used for but in quite a few instances American frontline officers would request these jeeps for scouting, delivering messages to CO's etc. But as you said the vast majority of them were convoy AA escorts.

The Sdkfz 7 was in Fh 0.7 so they are certainly aware of it. I am sure it will reappear if it they want it for a map and some devs are willing to make it.

The Krupp L2 looks pretty cool too. I would love to see that in game. From the looks of that vehicle I doubt anyone can be too worried about players 'zipping' around in one.

^this.
Anyway, speaking of the Sdkfz 250, there are two variants I´d love to see in-game:
1.) Sd.Kfz. 250/3 leichter Funkpanzerwagen
    Command variant, equipped with radio equipment and "bedstead" aerial frame.
This would serve as a commanders vehicle. It could actually serve in Africa and would represent Rommels "Greif" (=griffon) command vehicle he used in North Africa.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/37/Bundesarchiv_Bild_101I-217-0493-22%2C_Russland%2C_Sch%C3%BCtzenpanzer.jpg)

This pic was taken in Russia, but it was used in Africa aswell.

2.) Sd.Kfz. 250/8 leichter Schützenpanzerwagen (7.5 cm)
    Support variant armed with a 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24 gun and an MG 34.

As an infantry support vehicle this ariant would be great. It´s still vulnerable and no tank, but it would give infantry alot more punch. I´m not sure if they served in Africa or Normandy, but for a future Eastern Front this version is a must.

(http://www.achtungpanzer.com/images/sdkfz250_8.jpg)

There exist several other variants of this cute little APC, but I thought these could be usefull in FH2. More information can be found here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sdkfz_250).

The short 75mm varients of the 250 and 251 were used mostly as HE support for tiger brigades, so they could be placed anywhere the Tigers are, much like the Pz3N.

Sounds great. Tigers could deal with tanks, while infantry uses the 75mm guns to engage infantry and "unworthy" targets for the Tiger.
Btw, Mudra, do you have any info what kind of ammo was carried? I can imagine them having a small amount of HEAT rounds, but I haven´t found any info on that matter.
Title: Re: New german transport
Post by: VonMudra on 13-08-2010, 10:08:08
IIRC they carried a couple HEAT and AP, but almost all was HE.  They were supposed to work very close to the Tigers, so the Tigers took out the tanks, the Panzer 3N and 250/251 types took out the bunkers/AT guns and infantry.

'Stummel' SPW's weren't used by Tiger battalions, besides the Panzer III's were dropped from the Tiger battalion TOE after March '43 (and ony the 501st, 502nd and 503rd were formed in time to use the original TOE).

The Sd.Kfz.250/8 was used exclusively by Panzer Aufklarungs Abteilungs, A Gepanzerte Aufklarungs Kompanie would usually field two in it's Heavy platoon (along with four sMG and two 8cm mortars). The heavy coy of the battalion would also usually have a platoon six. The same goes for the Gepanzerte Panzergrenadier Abteilung, two Sd.Kfz.251/9's per Panzer Grenadier company and six in the 4th kompanie of the Abteilung. The Sd.Kfz.251/9 was also issued to Panzer Aufklarungs Abteilungs in lieu of Sd.Kfz.250/8's.

From a practical view the only variant of the Sd.Kfz.250 that ought to be included is the Sd.Kfz.250/9 armoured car, the Sd.Kfz.251 has the same variants and more (bar an analogue of the 250/9. The 251/23 was planned but it's highly doubtful that any were produced), performing the same roles.

Look at it this way: You get loads of german updates now. But when and if FH2 gets to eastern front, you wont be getting too many or too frequent (presumably anyway) updates about german equipment. Then you'll be screaming out RUSSIAN BIAS when you only get russian equipment.

You realize that just because it served in a different company doesn't mean its role wasn't used alongside the Tigers, right?  It was essentially the replacement for the Pz3N.
