TheCrow Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I think it would cool to see German squads with some garands, by example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trommelfeuer Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I'd love to see the Panzerjäger Bren 731(e) in CMAK, but I fear it will not happen... The germans had captured a number of the english Bren carrier armoured tracked vehicles during the course of the war. (for example at Dunkirk) They were found most useful and therefore used in german service under the foreign-vehicle designation Bren 731(e). Among other uses - most served as machine-gun carriers, others were equipped with 3,7cm PaK AT guns as tank hunters - they were converted to improvised tank destroyers with a mount of three Panzerschreck tubes and utilised by the Panzer-Zerstörergruppen ("tank-destroyer groups") who also took with them other AT weapons such as the Panzerfaust. The conversions were done by the field maintenance shops. The Bren vehicle had a length of 3.65m (12 ft.), a width of 2.05m (6 ft. 9 in.) and a height of 1.60m (5 ft. 2 in.). It weighed 4 tons, was armoured up to 12mm (0.47 in.) and used an 85hp Ford V-8 engine that made the little tank destroyer comparably agile and enabled it of speeds of up to 35mph. The Panzerjäger Bren was used mainly on the Eastern Front. ( But also in Northern Afrika ) Panzerjäger Bren 731(e) equipped with 3 Raketenpanzerbüchse 43 or 54 (Panzerschreck) tubes: 2cm Flak38 auf Fahrgestell Bren A Panzerjäger Bren "Zerstörergruppe": Panzerjäger Bren 731(e) with 37mm PaK 35/36 L/45 gun Gepanzerter MG Träger Bren 731(e) with Maxim MG08 gun Greetings, Sven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces_and_8's Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 Sven, Can you email me the link to the site where you pulled those pictures, it looks like a good one for a conversion job on a bren carrier model. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 That's some great kit! I want the triple-panzershreck one. I could sling some seriously molten TNT with that one. :mad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
