As is apparent from a number of photos on German ebay, the If.5 was quite common vehicle. After a quick search ( http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtop...2124&start=555) it seems, that it was used in infantry division for transporting of MG-34 as MMG and in a secondary role, to give AA cover (although during combat the MGs should be rather dismounted and used on the ground?..)

That's a pretty clever solution as well. The AA sights seem to be an integral part of the
Zwillingssockel double mount, so no fumbling with detachable AA sights and the guns are always ready to fire at aerial targets when mounted.
It appears that the tripod mounts for the MGs were usually carried in the same cart, so definitely they would be used when not on the march. The cart mount is high enough to be very vulnerable to machine gun fire and artillery. Unfortunately there is no way to model this flexibility in the game.
