Sd.Kfz. 231 8 Wheel Variant image - Normandy 1944: European Theater mod for Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts
Normandy '44: European Theater combines a higher level of realism with a more elaborate doctrine system, which incorporates almost 50 different military units that took part in the period of Jun-Sept 1944. This spectrum ranges from divisions of free Polish and French units serving under the main allied armies to volunteers from the Eastern Front that served in the German Wehrmacht. This is only a small portion of the doctrine variety however, as we feature numerous well known units of all factions as well. The mod also features numerous new abilities and custom made units each with a completely revamped size and structure. Between custom made units and structures with historically correct skins, Normandy '44 offers over 150 NEW UNITS, making for an almost endless variety of different scenarios and unit actions. Combined these factors provide for an experience unlike any other mod for CoH!
This is the eight wheel variant of the Sd.Kfz. 231, Sonderkraftfahrzeug 231. The hull was modified from the original six wheel version in order to swap the main driver and reverse driver and radio operator positions. This was done to allow for placement of the engine at the rear and the tri-axle truck chassis replaced with a pair of 2 axle four wheel trucks, rendering an eight-wheeled, all wheel drive, all wheel steering chassis to improve off road capabilities and maneuverability. The turret was also altered to a hexagonal shape for increased internal volume. Armament is one 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 and an MG34, both mounted in the turret.
Great looking model you've got there.
Fantastic detail! I just hope that small caliber cannons have improved enough to allow this wonderful model to have a useful application.
looks a bit like a rail car but at least your going for something new
Cool! Great model!
NICE
