Missing: 7,5cm PaK40 auf RSO

Post by Wiedrock »

The game seems to be missing one of the non-prototype SP AT guns.

The "7.5 cm PaK 40 auf Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO)" appears to be missing.
Sources vary, but they state a range between 60-90 pieces produced.
Production started in late 1943 and it seems they were mostly delivered in early 1944. After which production was halted.

considering it was a complete failure (to slow, too low horsepower engine, chassis massively overloaded) it's probably no good to include

Ostfeldzug without Raupenschlepper Ost. :(

The vehicle earned the nickname “Rollender Sarg Ost”, a play on the RSO abbreviation. This nickname translates to “rolling coffin east”, reflecting the thoughts of the soldiers who operated it.
Finest German engineering and everyone is bullying the RSO. :(

The RSO itself was fine, just not with with the gun placed on top
