Default Re: German OOB 16: minor corrections

I do love the way things like this take on a life of their own and spin off in unpredictable ways.

Looking at the production dates and what we have in the game I have to question these three units....

166 - SdKfz 250/11 - uClass 032 : slot 1 - Available 01/043 to 12/046
218 - SdKfz 251/10a - uClass 125 : slot 1 - Available 01/043 to 12/046
832 - SdKfz 221/2 - uClass 240 : slot 1 - Available 07/043 to 12/046

they must have been very very rare past the beginning of 1944 which means one or two of those units might be deleted but that should give some of you something to investigate for me and the first thing would be when the SdKfz 250/11 with the 2.8 was in service.

Also, I will be revising some ammo numbers based on Culver and Feist's info. The number of rounds for the 37mm and 28mm versions is far too low in the game and the revision will make them far more potent


OK,----- reading the text of the book says that mounting the PzB41 was a "common" modification early in the war on a stock SdKfz 250/1 simply by replacing the Mg34 mount at the front of the fighting compartment and it goes on to say that the PzB41 was phased out of service because of the Tungsten shortage but "Isolated examples lasted long enough to be mounted in the 251/1 Ausf D which appeared in the fall of 1943."
