armoured recon vehicles in normandy
« on: 19-11-2009, 01:11:23 »
well we have lots of scout cars on the most of africa maps and i think adding more scout cars to normandy can be interesting

i mean their spawn time shorter than tanks
they are also faster than tanks
they are very useful in an attack (flanking and destroying defences like anti tank guns even hiding tanks etc.)
they are very useful in defence (repelling enemy infantry attacks, ambushing enemy tanks etc.)
it's really funny to use them
and maybe they can be very useful spotting targets for artillery ( i mean they are scout/recon cars right?)


in short, i'm suggesting
1. adding armoured recon vehicles nearly every map (of course not infantry maps like point du hoc etc.)
2. adding ''spotting targets for artillery'' ability (like stug)
3. replacing the puma's mg 34 with the mg 42

Yes.  The Puma was one of the very few german armoured vehicles that actually used the MG42, not the MG34.

Hanomags :P  One interesting mount I've seen is some halftracks mounted the operating parts of a lafette, minus the legs, onto a pintel mount, and then mounted the MG onto that.  The stummel halftrack out here in California uses that system, and is pretty damn cool.

Think you can post a picture?

What vehicle is mounted on? Looks like a weird combination. Is a hanomag with the short barreled 75mm variant?

It is a big surprise, I never saw anything like it. I thought that the space was so reduced that you could barely mount an mg on it. I hope this gets implemented in the mod someday. Especially the Pak 40 variant needs this.

Say you implement a halftrack with a 75mm gun; should it function like the Marder do in 2.2 or how it did in 2.15 i.e. you have to switch places before firing. I'm torn between the two options.

Im against the idea of driving and shooting at the same time, because this is a half track. You should get a driver and 2 gunners; 1 for the main gun/ and the other for the back mg.
