Last time, I suggested adding the armed Willys jeep for the Allies.

today I propose the Leichter PKW. K1 type 82! This time, for the Germans, I suggest adding this little gem!

Empty weight: 725KG

Length: 3.74m

width 1.60m

height: 1.65 m

The engine is a 1130cc four-cylinder, air-cooled unit!

The engine itself only develops 25 hp at 3000 rpm; for maps like Enlisted, it is neither too powerful nor too weak!

Important detail: the engine is located at the rear!

More than 52,000 units of this model were produced; an amphibious version was also manufactured. (14,000 units).

You might say, “Yes, but that already exists.”

And you’d be right! But he’s not armed! Here’s a picture of the baby!

There was a version with the MG42 facing rearwards !

There are other versions, a little funnier!

And the best part? Our Italian friends have their own version! Identical to the German version, but with Italian machine guns instead of the MG42!

Or better yet for the Italians, judge for yourselves!

I still doubt its authenticity, but just seeing this model makes me dream. I’ll leave it anyway. If I find the model, I’ll write it below!

yes it can.

outcomes depends from the user.

reminds me of those smooth brain who used to complain about the bike being bad, yet you see them charging tanks or taking the main road towards the objective with no allies on sight.

and blaim it on the bike lol.

pack a panzershrek / panzerfaust and it won’t be so low :wink:

even though, premium riders are objectively better due to the engineer being able to build most buildings.

Any weapon or class can play at any level, it’s not bad classes it’s better choices. You can bring a m1 carbine at br5 but a m2 carbine would be better

Personally, I use motorcycle squads for reconnaissance and quick sabotage, and in tier 5 they work like a charm! :grinning:

Bad does not mean useless, a pistol can kill but I would not be using it at high br unless it’s for a BP task

A small mistake on my part: the last photo shows a Horch 901 KFZ.4 equipped with a .30/38 caliber anti-aircraft gun! Used in Africa!
