Sdkfz 251/7 Pionier Hanomag
As someone who has periodically gone through the forums page by page, topic by topic a couple of times out of boredom at work or school, one omission always seemed glaring to me and the recent debate about the towing ability of the late model Sdkfz 251 made up my mind to ask about it: where is the Pionier version of the Sdkfz 251?
This is not a question asked lightly; I am of course fully aware of the chock-full OOB for Germany and that there are already myriad versions of the 251 and 250 families present. But assuming the bridge-laying class is available in SPWW2 it would have a tangible use and not just a "fluff" vehicle for Pionier platoons and companies. It could allow infantry to pass streams and fords much quicker and more efficiently.
I admit this isn't a perfect solution because I believe tanks would also benefit from this and that's not the kind of bridges the Pionier-track carried, but I figured I might as well ask if it had been brought up before and my searches simply didn't turn it up? As usual, this isn't a demand on Don or Andy, simply wondering what the reasoning was for its lack of inclusion. I'm sure there is a perfectly valid one if it had been brought up before; but if it hadn't, I'd be curious if it could be.
