I love the Sd.Kfz.10 one of the most universally used and among most produced Halftrack of the German army. This time 1 of 2 or more equipped this the 1st Type of Mg 151 Drilling with shoulder stab.
The Armored version i suggest sadly aparently broke down / left behind but scavanged for parts, as such the only reminiscence of its armor are the factory Shield for the Drilling and a field mod for the drivers plate, but most likely other armor such as radiator protection as found on other such Fieldmods like the 5 cm Pak 38 Armed one is very likely.
In game it would improve the lines of the Sd.Kfz.10 along its many other brothers (which isnt at all represented currently in game) and would give a effective mobile low air protection.
The Sd.Kfz. 10 was designed and had its first prototype build in 1934 and after further development the first production of the D6 started in 1937 and in 1938 the D7 which was the pretty much final and main production model, of which around 17.500 were build till the end of production 1944. The Sd.Kfz. 10 was also used as the basis for the armored version Sd.Kfz. 250.
it was build by Büssig-NAG, Österreichische Saurer Werke, Mühlenbau und Industrie AG, Maschinenfabrik Niedersachsen Hannover, Adlerwerke and MWC Mechanische Werke Cottbus GmbH.
It was well liked for its low rolling resistance of only 5% higher than a 4 wheel vehicle of same size with a top speed of 75 km/h (Drivers were told to stay at 65 duo to wear) powered by the (in the final version from 1940 100 Ps HL 42 TRKM engine).
It was equipped with a at the time quite modern semiautomatic 7/3 Gear Maybach-Variorex Preselecter Transmission with easy use and great reliability.
It was used the whole war and used on all fronts as well as sold to Sweden and used by Romania.
Its mane use was as the 1t gun traktor as well as small troop transport and duo its availability and need often with guns mounted on top of it such as 2 cm Flak 30 (as 10/4), 2 cm Flak 38 (10/5) and as field mods with armor and often a 3,7 cm gun or 5 cm gun.
