Kfz.69 mit 3,7 cm Pak L/45 auf Sockellafette

poll I would like to suggest the Kfz.69 mit 3,7 cm Pak L/45 auf Sockellafette, which is an dedicated build Kfz.69 Krupp Protze which was armored and equipped with a 3,7 cm Pak L/45 mounted on a 360° Podestrial Mount. In game this would add a fast and mobile vehicle with a fun and effective gun to the german tree that can be effectively used even in citys to peek around corners and is MG proof from the front and HMG from afar. The inofficially called Krupp Protze was 6x4 Truck of the 1 1/2ton cl…

Leichter Flakkraftwagen Kfz.81 (Krupp-Protze)

poll I would like to suggest the (specific) Leichter Flakkraftwagen Kfz.81 (Krupp-Protze) (Light AA vehicle) (more on that below). It would be the duo vehicle together with the Kfz.69 also based on the Krupp-Protze. It was part of the Lkw. der Fliegerabwehrtruppen, which included the Kfz.81 and 83, which had a 2 cm Flak 30 or 38 (81) and a light spotlight (83), the Kfz.83 existed as leichter Scheinwerferkraftwagen I and II. It was the heavyer truck counterpart to the Sd.Kfz.10/4 (and 10/5), wh…

Field modified vehicles are the best they have a lived in feel as there was a need to do these changed. ERA put that on steroids for better or worse.

[BatjeMB]

Oh sorry, I missed those. I’ll give them a read!

Renault UE mit 3,7 cm PaK 36

Renault UE mit MG 34 Zwilling

[Metal_Bandit]

I think this looks suspicious.

[Spr4yz]

Wicked!

[Ghostmaxi]

[KillaKiwi]

No way 😮

So the front is definitely modeled wrong in the game. As the front and the gun mantlet are too wide.

While the hull in WT is modeled after a Pz II L but it shouldn’t have the fake driver viewports and the sides should angle inwards.

[Ghostmaxi]

Hard to tell yes. But maybe also production differences between them (i think 2?) And i highly doubt they will remodel it in game.

[Ghostmaxi]

Also, in game its modeled on an Ausf.H. The sides are anlged slightly. Tho yeah the fake drivers viewport its incorrect. Tho could also be an early thing that was later on removed, like with the Sturer Emil and the StuG III Ausf.F L/41 prototype.

8,8 cm Pak L/71 auf S. Maultier

If you find more photos of them, feel free to post them. There is a good chance of more photos of them, conciddering that 2 of 4 Drawings have photografic evidence of being build.
Along these 2 there was also a drawing of this:

10,5 cm LeFH 18/40/1 (Sfl.) auf 3t Zgkw

poll I would like to suggest the 10,5 cm LeFH 18/40/1 (Sf.) auf 3t Zgkw, a cheaper alternative to the other Geschützwagen and Waffenträger, beeing pretty much a 10,5 cm LeFH 18/40 on an armored halftrack, the Sd.Kfz. 11. In 1943 the lack of SPGs was still aparent and alternatives for easy and fast production were searched. The vehicle was one of them, having 1 prototype finished on the 27. Sep. 1943, presented to Hitler on the 22. Jan 1944 with 4 more of the planned 50 0-Serie beeing finnished…

2 Sd.Kfz.251 with 12,7 mm DishK

Gepanzertes Sd.Kfz.6 with 2 cm Gebirgsflak 38

[Ghostmaxi]

This thing would be so much fun in game, with german ammo.

Kettenkrat pulling 3,7 cm Flak 39 (r)

[CharAznable3]

Is this a German use of the 37mm or was this some sort of post war cold war thing? Anyway it could work for infantry where you pull the gun around.

[Ghostmaxi]

Id say WWII use, they captured a good amount of them and produced own ammo for them, they reused the L/4,1 shells of the 3,7 cm SK 30.

[CharAznable3]

such trailer stuff would work wonders for infantry mode.

[BSpiel8-live]

What about this RSO variant? Is it really a PaK 38 like some say or just a mistaken PaK 40?

RSO 01 5cm Pak 38 - Nevington War Museum
Also, in terms of suggestion material, there is also the first prototype on the original wheeled gun carriage with limited traverse

And this experimentally uparmored vehicle, maybe for premium?



7.5 cm Pak 40/4 on RSO : Germany (DEU)

[Ghostmaxi]

I made a suggestion for the 5 cm one already, still pending. The normal one is also already armored, just angled and this is flat.
