Kubelwagen...?

[SARFlytitus]

Just a question for the younger, more competent and trained minds: Am I the one who, because of my overly seasoned brain, has never seen the iconic Kubelwagen in game or has it really never been present? it is certainly not a complaint, given the lack of equally significant planes and vehicles in the Sim...just curiosity!

It's a mystery why the Kübelwagen was never added to the game. There were over 50,000 build during the war.

The closest we can get is the SdKfz222.

Interesting, Germany built 50000 Kubelwagens, the US built 640,000 Jeeps.

C'mon... compared to a Tiger, the Kubel is just a handful of extra pixels... let's have it in there.  🧐

I'd like to see a BMW R75 with MG34 attached to the sidecar.  or the Zündapp KS 750.  Shoot it while it's moving and see it tumble over and the riders thrown off.

Could also include the VW166 Schwimwagen

Thast's pretty much the story of WWII in a nutshell.

Exactly my thought! Although we'd be down to 15,000 vehicles.

 

Honestly, if a 3rd party wanted to make it they could probably submit it (I'd talk to the Finland team as they both have the contacts and some experience). I'd love to have a staff car or something like that to race around existing maps.

VW166

 

"If" created, it would be an interesting end of flight stat......

 

Classed as a land vehicle or water craft depending where it was when attacked & destroyed
