Combat Mission Units: German Halftracks SKDFZ 251 

Same here! ;)

Yeah-yeah-yeah can relate!

*Stummel (means stub in english) Hummel (bumblebee) is the nickname of a ww2 german artillery vehicle so i can see why they might get mixed up

@@___seb3341 Oh yes of course! Thank you for the correction!

You're welcome! They're a nightmare.

I remain firmly in the "Use a tank instead" crowd :P

@@usuallyhapless9481 as much as I can agree there are times when the coolness factor outweighs the rational thinking in brain factor, plus I'm pretty sure they're cheaper.

@@usuallyhapless9481 Yeah well you didn't have "use a tank instead" as an option in the poll

@@usuallyhapless9481 they are really nice poor man's assualt guns that let you allocate your tanks else where while still giving your infantry some howitzer support Edit: especially in closer range more built up area where it's nice to be able to keyhole and areafire some HE into a dug in positions. Especially when you consider the fact that Pz IV/stugs are only going respond slightly better to accurate Bazooka fire

So do I!

Little howitzer shells :P It's only 75mm.

They are all coming to Steam (slowly), where they are subject to sales every now and again!

@@usuallyhapless9481 Have they published any kind of schedule for the steam releases? I am eager to get my hands on their WW2 content but until then your video backlog is keeping me going :D

So, a quick link: community.battlefront.com/topic/140718-2022-the-year-in-preview/ TLDR: Normandy in March/April; Italy in (Jun/July), Red Thunder (Sept/Oct) and Final Blitzkrieg (Dec/Jan). Might not pan out that way, but that's the plan!

@@usuallyhapless9481 You are a legend!

Could be an Ausf C vs Ausf D thing. The version in CM is the Ausf D.

You learn something new everyday. Makes sense!

Yep. Hope you like tanks :P

@@usuallyhapless9481 Speaking about campaigns, what happened to the Shock Force 2 Afghan campaign?

That sounds awesome!

It would depend a lot on what USMC ToE Battlefront uses. I have no idea what it's like in hypothetical 2017- assuming they're similar to how they are in SF2, I'd expect them to struggle in straight-up QBs but shine in scenarios/campaign operating in their intended role amphibious things under a significant naval airpower/EW snowdome. In short, I think it would be fun to play USMC vs RU combined arms, but precisely because it would be a significant challenge for the Marines.

@@usuallyhapless9481old post but kind of interesting in light of Force Design 2030 and the retirement of Marine tanks. One of the major criticisms being lack of anti armor capabilities in the new Marine Littoral Regiment.

Nope. I'd guess they were not vehicles supposed to be hanging around the frontline or were never made in numbers to justify getting a model. You can get off-map nebelwerfers though, which are basically the same thing.

Thanks! Usually just a lot of googling, yeah. Honestly, it's the hardest part sometimes!

reinforcement mechanics are in single player campaign's however it's up to the campaign designer on when you get reinforcement's

yup, you're not the only one. The style of the empire's uniforms and vehicles was taken from Nazi Germany.

Alright ill bite, if only to save Hapless the effort, I think your point is that they are meant to be used as flanking force? However, as well as being very impolite and referring to a propaganda tune for a source rather than Military History Visualised, you also forget this is a direct guide for Combat Mission. In combat mission you cannot flank as much as you may want to on a strategic level, there is only a limited area of play after all and its much more about tactical level decisions, so even if your point was true it wouldn't apply. I would advise being more polite in your comments if not trying to understand this is for a video game, surely if you honestly care about this being addressed it would be better to do it in a kinder manner?

@@TopHatHat I would advise you to collect knowledge on subject matter and then respond. You attack the information not person but as your said it your self, this is so far out of your lege that all you can respond with "its rude". So you wasted every ones time contributed nothing and showed to me that you are stupid. Here is a tip for the future, you dont value information on how much you like it but on the date provided to you. I dont ell stuff and I dont care if you or any other fanboy like sit. I have provided a fact, you have provided emotions. Go and wipe your tears off you embrace your self.

How about you Panzer Liedown on these nuts lmao

If Hapless truly wants to learn how to properly use halftracks, he may also want to consider listening to Ghost Division by Sabaton
