Gun-armed halftracks - PoorOldSpike - 11-25-2007 GUN-ARMED HALFTRACKS This series of pics shows every armoured halftrack in Cmbb and Cmak that totes a weapon above and beyond the standard one or two machine guns. (I shall cover soft-skinned halftracks and truck-mounted guns etc in due course) Passengers -The only armed halftrack in the entire game that can carry anything is the German 251/10 (37L/45), it can carry a halfsquad or any inf HQ unit, or a single support weapon such as MG/ schreck/sniper etc, or it can tow a light/medium gun (but it can't carry passgrs if towing) GERMAN 251/22 75mm L/46 251/9 Stummel 75mm L/24 250/8 75mm L/24 251/10 37mm L/45 250/10 37 L/45 250/11 20mm Tungsten 250/9 20mm L/55 251/17 20mm L/55 AA 251/2 81mm Mort 250/7 81mm Mort 251/16 Flamethrower 251/21 Quad MG AA (All the German halftracks below are included in Cmbb AND Cmak except for the 251/21 QuadAA and 251/22 75L/46 which Battlefront didn't include in Cmak) (The 2x Mortar carriers can only fire in frontal cone, the whole veh pivots if you assign an impact point outside the cone) (Battlefront have done the wrong gun graphics for the 251/17, 251/21 and 251/22) RE: Gun-armed halftracks - PoorOldSpike - 11-25-2007 RUSSIAN RE: Gun-armed halftracks - PoorOldSpike - 11-25-2007 ALLIED Reminder - none of them can carry passengers (not even a sniper), nor can they tow anything T19 105mm L/23 M3 76mm L/35 T30 75mm L/16 M15 37mm L/54 AA M21 81mm Mort M4 and M4A1 81mm Mort M16 Quad HMG AA (The M4 and M4A1 Mortar Carriers can only fire in rear cone, the whole veh pivots if you assign an impact point outside the cone, but the M21 Mort Carrier fires in a forward cone) RE: Gun-armed halftracks - Antoni Chmielowski - 11-25-2007 Excellent set of pics as always Mick !. Keep up the good and informative work !. RE: Gun-armed halftracks - Chipmunk - 12-09-2007 So which armed halftracks do you think are the most useful? I like best the ones with mortars such as the SPW 251/2 because of the large amounts of ammo these vehicles carry compared to leg mortar units. RE: Gun-armed halftracks - Randalll - 02-01-2008 I never realized how useful the mortar carriers could be until this game game along. I like how you can pinpoint target areas that haven't revealed enemy contact but would seem to be an obvious position. Also, the availability of an 'instant' though small smokescreen is great. RE: Gun-armed halftracks - British Tommy - 02-05-2008 Agree 100% with Antoni, a job well done old spiker! :)
