Half tracks - Herr Straße Laufer - 04-11-2010 This is the place to discuss them. :smoke: :chin: I like them. They taste just like chicken! ;)  HSL RE: Half tracks - Scud - 04-11-2010 OK. What do you do with German SPW 251/9s (Stummels)? Recon? Maybe ambush? Spotting? If I use them in any kind of offensive capacity they rarely get a kill or even a disruption. Most of the time I find a nice quiet spot in the rear, park 'em in a clump of trees and forget about them. Dave RE: Half tracks - Glint - 04-11-2010 Useful for bringing up troops and the extra halftrack units, i.e, SPW 251/9s, 251/10s etc, give some support to them against any infantry. Is it the 251/10 that has an AT Gun mounted as well? Not sure if that's in the oob's or not either. regards Peter RE: Half tracks - Herr Straße Laufer - 04-11-2010 SPW 250/9 20mm Recon Halftracks - Combat unit and very useful for recon ... until enemy armor shows up. Then I use them in a strict recon role, with hiding to be the key. SPW 251/1 Halftracks -Transport/Combat armed. Useful for close support of infantry. SPW 251/2 81mm Mortar Halftracks - Combat and useful in close support. I often use them to shoot and scoot against soft targets. SPW 251/9 75mm Howitzer Halftracks - Combat and useful in close support. I'll keep them at a distance and fire, or use them the same as the 251/2. I do use them all in close assault with infantry or armor involved. :chin: HSL RE: Half tracks - Big Dawg - 04-11-2010 YES, YES MORE HALF TRACKS RE: Half tracks - Von Earlmann - 04-11-2010 HEAVENLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-) RE: Half tracks - Glint - 04-11-2010 what about the spw251/10?

It's a half track with a light anti tank gun. I'd use it like all the rest. Each have their strengths and weakness? :chin: HSL RE: Half tracks - Glint - 04-11-2010 Ahhh! It's the 251/22 I'm on about. All the support these halftracks can supply has to be useful in certain circumstances? Certainly not to be hidden away in woods and forgotten surely? Oh, and thanks Ed for the comprehensive listings, much appreciated! RE: Half tracks - Cole - 04-11-2010 Please guys if you don't want to discuss half tracks or read about it then let the thread grow. Already this thread has given me some information I haven't seen before, specifically the 15 different types of HTs available. Also seems like the threads will move towards tactical use of the HTs instead of an argument about close assault, etc. Good stuff here. As for my input well I'm usually a Russian player so don't have much to offer but looking forward to the discussion. |
