When I was conducting the German activity kfz/9, I found that driving on the roads in Normandy was extremely difficult. The vehicle was very sluggish and couldn’t climb slopes exceeding 40 degrees. When encountering small roads, it would skid on the spot. I thought that even driving a small car wouldn’t be like this. Now, the grip ability of the vehicles has been greatly exacerbated in some unstable areas. Usually, since we mainly operate in cities, there’s no problem. But on muddy ground, it causes major problems. A single crater can prevent a tank from moving. Currently, the main issue is that the vehicle’s power is insufficient. It just drives through the craters carelessly. I hope it can be strengthened soon.
So I said
The German camp urgently needs new infantry transport trucks.
It can be obtained through an activity or purchased at a cost.
More types of transport trucks are needed.
I mean vehicles aren’t supposed to be efficient at driving off terrain or climb slopes above 40 degrees. In real life if you get a tank stuck in a crater you will need a specialized recovery vehicle. You should pay more attention when operating tanks instead of driving it into a crater. In addition, buffing vehicles like this will also make AT mines less efficient since vehicles can easily travel off road.
I mean it does become a problem when tanks can’t cross trenches, but I think it’s been dealt with since I haven’t been getting any tanks stuck recently.
Except Halftracks literally are designed for offroad driving. The problem isn’t driving into craters, it’s that the horrendous drive model of halftracks makes the offroad vehicle barely able to climb a miminal slope, not even up to roads sometimes.
Using AT mines efficiently includes blocking other paths. There’s nothing changing with a more powerful engine in vehicles. Not blocking other ways to the objective makes AT mines as useless now as it would with a proper and useable engine in APCs and othe vehicles.
No, no, no. That’s not what I meant. For the German model, the new one that’s lying in the editor also has a 37mm APC. Don’t worry. Just wait until DF wants to extract it later. The main reason is that this vehicle has difficulty moving on the road. Well, it’s a problem with the entire vehicle.
Let’s start with the part about climbing a 40-degree slope. I did exaggerate a bit. Ah, it’s just that when I was driving this German military transport vehicle, I found it extremely difficult to operate. I said that on flat ground, driving on that kind of Normandy stone-paved road would take a whole day. It really made my blood pressure skyrocket. But after you mentioned it, was it actually because of the vehicle model?
Oh, to be honest, when I play World of Warships, even in the most historically accurate mode (the full-scale battle mode), I think the engine of the vehicles… when compared to the level-up process in the game and observed, there is still a significant difference. I think Df might have intentionally weakened some aspects to accommodate the infantry. I can still see T34-85 speeding on the grassland and the German Blitzkrieg in historical videos or movies.
The reason why I posted this was because when I was playing a conquest map in Normandy, that was me. There were three points to capture. One windmill. One church. One radar position. During the conquest mode, when I emerged from the respawn point of the tank vehicle on my PC, I found it very difficult to move because there was a roughly small hill in front. Only those heavy tanks could climb over it. In that game, I spent a lot of time driving an APC just to be able to climb over this steep slope, but in the end, I still failed. Although we won against the opposing team in the end, I still can’t forget this incident. So I’m posting this to tell everyone. Because I asked others, and they also encountered many of these situations, especially the German APCs - because the Soviet side either had flat terrain or Berlin’s concrete ground. The Allied forces all drove those super powerful horsepower vehicles, like the Bren tank. They generally didn’t encounter these problems.
