You should know that the Puma is being done.
I would think that an easy project with far ranging consequences for the game would be to do the entire range of SdKfz 251 series vehicles.
Should be the same basic body with just upperhull modifications to most.
Either way, thanks for all the time and effort you're putting into the game.
Good Hunting.
MR
I have questions regarding 'PzC' and the sdk 250 and 251.
Now...
Am I wrong?... or:
250 is a two 'bogie' (tread wheel) Half Track (with angled-hull sides), while the 251 is a three bogie longer version with both early angled-hull versions ['A'] and later straight-hull versions ['D']. (?)
If someone knows the correct stuff, I'd like to know. There are many HT variants and lotsa dis-info out there.
Most HTs --250 [short: two wheel], 251A-D [long: 3 wheel], 252 munition [short; sloped rear], 253 obs [short; flat hull top] -- come from ubiquitous 'sdkfz 10 or 11' ("prime mover").
-------------
Regarding your desire for a 251 Geshutze series. I agree, the more occuring variants of the 251 w/gun should be done as a representative of class. (Which ones though?...)
Mrrah? did a WIP 251-A/10, but there were isolated issues (for one user) and the stock 37 ATG he put on it had the high profile front shield (of the stock gun).
(Also needed are a few combat train vehicles --turretless recovery, munition tractor-'schlepper'-things-- for "breakthrough"-to-rear scenarios. Also I wish the moterraader/ kradshutz was finshed.)
