German TT APC

Suggestions
1

Both USA and Soviets have trucks, while germany is stuck with a shitty Tech tree APC, which is just a plain worse version of premium one. My sugestion, replace german TT apc with Opel Blitz, the most used truck in German army, and rename APC driver to Truck driver. And make APC driver a premium class. (For those who dont understand, halftracks are slow AF, while trucks, like Gaz AAA, are fast, also german TT halftrack has no benefits for being an APC, becouse it is open from almost all sides, and dies to everythign the same way trucks do, so please darkflow, Opel Blitz is much more sensible option for germany)

Why is APC worse?
Also, the Sdkfz. 251 and 7 are not the same.

My bad, i meant 7 has worse mobillity

i’d rather get the opel blitz as a side unlock rather than replace the sdkfz 7.

or, increase the horsepower of the engine since it does a bit struggle on neutral steers/turnining.

yeah, but why? No one would use it, Opel Blitz would be flat out better, plus every other nation has a truck, so it would be logical, and balanced.

i like it, because it’s different.
and well, it’s a brand new vehicle.

one that isn’t actually imported from war thunder.

i doubt they will replace it for any reason after all the efforts that went though.

similar to bikes, flametanks etc.

so, as someone who would like the opel blitz as well, best options for it’s inclusion would be through a subfolder. or put the sdkfz 7 as subfolder

8

Well, then we end up with vechiles that no one uses, and there is 0 reason.Speaking for uniqueness, idk Opel Blitz isnt in war thunder too, but yeah i get your point.

And it good to block certain entrance of objective

Give opel better speed on road and give 7t better torque/offroad mobility (also give it neutral steering plz).
Imo they would coexist nicely with such characteristics.

Opel Blitz should be another vehicle aviable in the TT
i think that BR 3 goes perfect with it cause it’s very fast : )

12

i would say it would replace 7 t, and 7t would be a foldered vechile, coz yk Gaz AAA is also very fast

13

Hell no! Unarmored apcs should never be br 3.

I agree with the reasoning here. The Sdkfz is slow as hell and you’re right that it’s completely open so less protection for the crew. It is also true every other faction gets a truck.

I think the reason we got Sdkfz was because there are Opel Blitz’ already on maps so it would be very difficult to tell the difference.
(Its true the Studebaker can look similar to American trucks on maps but those are CCKW and can be distinguished)

I agree the Opel Blitz makes the most sense however I would propose the following:

A foldered option of an Italian FIAT truck with an Italian squad.

For US-UK, a foldered Australian Universal Carrier with our first tech tree Australian squad (Owen gun would also get a tech tree Australian squad).

I propose these for two reasons:

  1. At the moment we are forced to have a specifically German and specifically American squad for APC. Not everyone wants that and they shouldnt be forced to do so.

  2. Adding a FIAT truck and Australian Universal Carrier respectively means players have the option of a tracked APC or a wheeled APC in both Axis and Allies tech trees.

I believe the Japanese had a tracked APC if DF wants to add two options for each faction, likewise Soviets certainly had tracked APCs.
Alternatively I believe the Soviets had some fan powered sleds used for Arctic patrols, maybe these could be a foldered option since USSR maps often involve snow.

Note: I specify Australian Universal Carrier in order to distinguish from the event Universal Carrier. Australian Universal Carriers only had a single Vickers gun. There were also unarmed versions as well.

I say no to replacing it since it’s already there, but the Opel Blitz should definitely be added as a tech tree APC. I want to see more tech tree APCs and be able to pick and choose which one I want.

I think we shouldnt have the opel as a vehicle. for one its already in the game and is used as trnasport and b there is a lot more unique german vehicles most have seen the light of day for videogames

Well, why do soviets get GAZ AAA? GAZ was the most used transport in Soviet army, and Opel Blitz was the most used in German military, i think it would be reasonable and logical to add it. And for those who say that Opals are part of envirioment, maps can be redesigned in the name of balance, of which, this game doesnt have a bit
