What is that used for in BTR?

I would guess the could be used for the either panzer og Gep. Grenadier Divsions, OR they could be used for some internal movements.


There are 2 factories producing those, in the 1943 campaign.

Fords ?

hmmmm, I thought they were Opels ??

nothing

for now

IIRC they are in the game as generic armament factories (eg the one in Belgium) - so yes, abstracted representation of softskin motor transport. Fords were even more ubiquitous on both sides than many people realise - the Soviet GAZ trucks were based on Ford components, for example. The Romanians based their late war TACAM tank destroyers on captured T-60s since they were the one model of Soviet AFV for which they could easily source mechanical spares, since the T-60 used GAZ engines, which were basically Fords, and the Romanians had a Ford subsidiary plant of their own, with further spares available from plants across Occupied Europe.

ahhh, the Ford Plant is the one building the Opels
