SdKfz 251 C -> soon

Intro:

The first production run of the M5 was completed in December 1942. Changes to the demand for half-tracks led to reduced orders from the U.S. Army, and the M5 became "limited standard" in the U.S. military. A total of 7,484 were produced before production was stopped in October 1943. Almost all M5s were supplied to Allied nations (the British Commonwealth, France, and the Soviet Union) under Lend-Lease.

Features:

LeftCtrl + 1/2 toggles ON/OFF the driver armoured shields

3 variants:

  • M5 -> driver, .50cal gunner, 8 passengers
  • M17 MGMC -> driver, x4 .50cals, 1 passenger
  • SU-57 -> driver, 57mm APBC, 1 passenger

-> When shooting any of the 4 main track wheels (check images) with any AT or heavy damage weapon, both acceleration and speed will decrease incrementally by 25% up to 27% of its original value when all 4 of them are destroyed

-> Engine can be damaged by direct fire (check images), reducing it’s mobility

Scripted features:

  • Destructible decorative elements randomization on spawn
  • Working lights (press T to toggle them ON/OFF), set ON by default when playing on night maps, compatible with Lezvin’s amazing night/day cycle mutator (here)
