T 34 mit 15mm Mg 151 Drilling

[Ghostmaxi 873]

I want to suggest the T 34 mit 15mm Mg 151 Drilling, the gunmount is allready in game on the Sd.kfz 251, but this model to be exact a Bergepanzer T 34. A Bergepanzer T 34 is a recovery and maintanance tank where the Turret was removed and often additional towing equipment and tools was stored in. This Bergepanzer T 34 was further uniquly modified to fit the 15 mm MG 151 Drilling. It was created because of the need for mobile protection of the Panzertruppen againt low flying airplanes which became a ever growing threat of the german army, which was in dire need of more Air protection with the problems of production and long travel ways.

This particular T 34 was captured and converted to a Bergepanzer T 34 by Oberschaftführer Ernst Albert, the hear of the Refugee unit of the SS JgPzAbt 561. It was build in April 1945 supporting the rest of th 286 Infanterie Division and SS Regiment Falke in the northwest of Frankfurt an der Oder (a river) at the side of 3 companies of tanks and Jpz 38 (t) where it most certainly was destroyed with the rest of the devision.

It would be a good Premium or Event vehicle (because of its captured nature) and be a well protected mobile AA platform. It is quite easy to implement as you can allready see in game the Mg 151 Drilling.

The gun would be the known Mg 151 Drilling 15 x 96 mm ammo 500 round outer barrle 1000 inner barrle extra carried ammo is unlikely (at least on the vehicle itself, but more on a truck in the convoys it was protecting.)

 

Crew: 3

Mass: ~25-26 tons (cince the turret is missing)

Speed: 53 kmph

HP: 500 HP/T: >19

+1 for sure, this is a fascinating vehicle and would make for a great addition to the game.

+1 I thought this had already been suggested.

It would be nice if they put this 1.5 cm t 34 in the game while, at the same time, they upcaliber the weapons on the 251 to 2 cm

Would be nice to see in the game.

But only as a event vehicle. For a easy event. Since there ain't really anything special with this.

Its just a T-34 chassis with the same turret as Sd-Kfz 251/21. A easy asset flip for a quick and easy event
