Sd. Kfz. 251/9 II to Tank

So you might actually think 5“tanks” is unfair?

Like I said it’s long overdue. Gotta keep it fresh

Two wrongs don’t make a right. That’s a designated tank destroyer

At the moment there isn’t really such a thing as an infantry support vehicle since the “tank” slot covers pretty much every vehicle type

But that shouldn’t be an excuse. There are tons of miscellaneous vehicles. It would be a fine BR 1 Assault Gun

The point is it’s about proper vehicle class.

I’ll never give up! These simple mistakes should be corrected

Besides outright changing it the only compromise would be that everyone who has this event APC squad keeps it as is, but the 251/9 II is rereleased as a RT tank.

Though I will specify that these are 2 individual vehicles. Some people have this legacy APC squad, everyone can unlock the true “tank”

I never said it needs to be 200% historical accurate but it’s about doing as best as it reasonably can. Vehicles like the 251/9 were not infantry carriers so it should be the “tank slot”. Standard 251 is APC, every other variant was some AA, assault gun, tank destroyer, etc

Otherwise let’s make every tank an APC since soldiers rode on their backs

:rofl: Now I’ve read it all.

What parts of history you like to keep?

What is long overdue is put back this APC in BR2, where it belongs and was intended to be.

FYI, you’re not supposed to be fighting within an APC anyway: APCs are mobile spawn points; they should be hidden well somewhere close to an objective, and should also avoid fighting while making its way to that point—otherwise, you give up its position to the enemy (who will definitely try to blow it up). The onboard weapons are there for defensive purposes only, and should only be used if absolutely necessary.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter where this APC is slotted—BR II, BR III, etc.—It should be used in the same manner at any BR.

While we’re on the subject… I’ve seen many people blowing the horns on APCs as they drive toward the objective. All they’re doing is announcing the APCs position to the entire enemy team. It really makes no sense.

Not an APC but map prop.

Does not even have a hatch for quick dismounts so what do you expect here?
Do you expect 9 man to just squeze past the already crammed turret and exit through the small hatches that way?

I remember someone suggested making the
LVT A1 and LVT A4 into APCs :nauseated_face:
