Assault Halftracks [SPW 251/9]

[RNL Tiger]

OK so for the SPW 251/9 it is normal behaviour that at that range they look around and may decide not to fire. So what is the best range for them to engage the enemy and be out of normal infantry response ~250m. Or are these "assault" vehicles ones that like to get close and personal ~50-100m?

POS responded: "The 251/9 Stummel is armoured and therefore impenetrable by rifle/smg fire, so theoretically it could get to point-blank engagement range, but because it's open-topped with only a light gunshield the crew feel exposed and may decide to reverse or cower instead. Also, some HMG's can penetrate some light armour, another reason why crews feel fragile. Hey if you really want to try persuading them to plaster infantry, stand off at comfortable longish range and area-fire into the enemy position."
