Sure, but they’re slower and more cumbersome. And Germany used way more trucks than they did halftracks.

Exactly. I love halftracks. They’re iconic. They feel so uniquely WW2, and probably the last major war to feature them so extensively, and why see I them as such an inherent part of it. Yet I also would prefer if Germany could have an Opel Blitz truck or something similar, and not just the tech tree Sdkfz 7 we have. Which offers no advantage whatsoever, despite being the slowest troop transport in game already.
For example it’s not like it has better mobility or better traction in off-road terrain, traversing trenches, or climbing steep slopes. It’s not. And it also happens to be quite noisy and squeaky when trying to flank and be discreet. Which is factual, (I can totally imagine halftracks to be very noisy) and I like that detail in game, but without an alternative it’s like giving Germany all the drawbacks without any advantage. Whereas trucks (Japan, USSR, Allies) can be quite ‘silent’ and be very sneaky, and they can also reach some very decent speeds very fast. Meanwhile the Sdkfz. 7 feels so sluggish getting it in motion. If it could tow vehicles as it did in real life I wouldn’t mind all these weaknesses, but in the state it is. The Sdkfz 7 it’s just not that cool.

Please make someone forward adding the iconic Opel Blitz to the tech tree as a alternative to the current halftrack!

Please please please devs add this
During WW2 Gemany needed them to keep up with their tanks as they supported infantry, since they were a mix of a truck and tracks vehicles, they were maneuverable, able to drive well on and off road, and were more protected that the standard Helena truck.

This would’ve made more sense the the Sd.Kfz.7

True, would a Opel Blitz be faster than current half track?
