Question: SdKfz 251 Towing

[DRG]

That could be there was no date mentioned. It would be nice to see a actual photo of this version in action. There does seem to be more room for passengers although it would be a bit tight unless the vehicle crew was reduced from the older version but to make that work as a towing vehicle the game carry capacity would need to be 107. I suppose it's doable but I would like more info. Culver/Feist's "Schutzenpanzer" says the late version had a crew of 4.

The basic 251 has a carry cap of (1)13 so 4+6 ( the vehicle crew plus the gun crew-- the 107 requirement is for the crew + gun ) so with what seems a more compact gun mount in the later version it seems the added carry cap would not be wildly out of line.

Culver/Feist indicate the Luftwaffe crew was 6 so given the later version was 4 the 5 we have now would seem to be an average of the two
