Cheeky thoughts on transport of guns

[Quintus]

Reading through another user's post, I came across this website :

There's an interesting depiction here :-

of a studebaker truck carrying three ZIS (3?) ATG's !

Now, THAT would be a funny thing to be able to pull off.

I recall I was recently able to load two German 28mm heavy anti-tank guns onto one truck. At first it was very confusing because the (overly) tiny guns are towed like regular artilley, and the two gun polygons 'overlayed' eachother so you'd only be able to see one gun but you could select both!

I didn't try loading a third onto the truck.

I distinctly remember in CMBO being able to tow 2 75mm Inf guns with one halftrack. Basically the computer said 4 crew + 4 crew is less than 9 (the maximum). I haven't tried it in CMBB, but I'll bet it works fine as long as the transport class stays below 8 or 9 (depending on the HT). In CMBO, I found it helps to tow two different kinds of guns to make selection easier.

Well, I couldn't get two "4" guns onto a transport "8" tow, so I guess CMBB 1.02 has closed that option off.

Nice idea though.

Yeah, I couldn't get 2 "4" guns onto the same tractor. HOWEVER, I was able to get a "3" and a "5" onto a SPW 251/1. the following picture clearly shows a Pak 50 and a Heavy Antitank Rifle.
