Splendid, now I can advocate for modifying the event vehicle to this standard and then adding the base model into the tree. Will Gaijin ever do it? No, but now that we have a unique version the production model is open for interpretation as far as I care.

There was no MG 15 Zwilling but the MG 81 Z and I´m quite sure that´s what is mounted on that Sd.Kfz. 234/4. You can see it on the second picture. The beltguide is clearly visible.

I’m strongly considering making a post of cumulative ideas for those kinds of vehicles once I finish finals. I have a lot of replacement vehicles in mind.

If this gets added as a new model, it will likely be named “Sd. Kfz. 234/4 Berlin”.

Here is a similar photo of other trucks with them on the flat bed.

A little bit off topic, but in addition to the previously posted Prototypes of the Pz.Sfl.II, the guns, 7,5 cm K.37 L/41 were also mounted on the Panzerzug 3. Which i assume to have now found 2 photos of.

An armored train infantry ambush event would be fun running round protecting the train or attacking it.

As this thread is all-encompassing, I’ll post an American field mod, albeit one that has a German flair to it.


Now, in lower quality versions of this image, the guns are often mistaken as .50 cals. In this higher resolution photo however, we can clearly see that this is a German system, mounting two MG 151s with a potential third having been present before the mount was field modded.

This M5A1 Stuart was spotted in the towns of Sušice and Lnáře, apart of the U.S. 4th Armored Division that liberated the area in May of 1945. A number of other photos exist, and a caption from a local museum notes that the guns are of 20mm caliber.

Looks great would be a awesome suggestion post.

Most likely there to mop up infantry then aircraft as Stuarts where more of a infantry support vehicle by that time. Not ideal but better then nothing a gun that size can still nock out a MG or sniper in a building.
