Schrullenhaft Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 I can only guess at this, but considering the chassis similarity to the previous armored cars currently in CMBO (234/ 1/2/3) I'd say that there is a good chance that this vehicle will make it in (though the Rarity Factor should make it expensive for its effectiveness). Take a current 234 series model and make some changes to the weapon system wireframe and textures and you'd have the vehicle (uh... there are a few other details besides this though).

offtaskagain Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 I wouldn't mind having the SPW 251/22 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 As far as I know (and that's not much) most of the committed 234s were sent to the western front. I m not sure if one ever even fired at a soviet during the war. I could be wrong thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrullenhaft Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Actually my guess is that most of the 234 series armored cars were actually seen on the Eastern Front, but I have no references about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Leader Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Hey Schrullenhaft, what you're saying makes sense, since Germany was throwing EVERYTHING it had to stop the red tide coming, but on the other hand, the pictures I've seen of these things seem to have been taken either by Americans or in American occupied territories. Of course, it could be because that is all we have access to, but you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schrullenhaft Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Looking at the page that Lewis posted (and the dozens of other pages that were near copies of it) it seems as if the panzer divisions in Normandy got the first batches of 234 series. After the Normandy breakout and retreat across France several of the panzer divisions (SS & Wehrmacht) were transferred to the Eastern Front (Hungary, etc.). So quite a few 234 series actually saw action in Normandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Username Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 The puma had a turret that was supposed to go on a recon version of the panther. A leopard or something like that. It, the puma turret, was more a use of something that never panned out. Kind of a custom run if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
