There is a new update posted today over at the <a href="http://xww2.bf1942files.com/mambo/" target="_blank">Experience WWII</a> mod website. They are back with some new media to showcase. Here's what they had to say:<blockquote>During the early years of panzer development it was recognized that the infantry should be equally mobile. A full-track vehicle seemed to costly, wheeled vehicles with the required cross-country performance were not available. A halftrack vehicle with the official name Sd.Kfz. 251 "Gepanzerte Manschafts Transportwagen" evolved.
There are earlier developments on the 3-ton chassis, but for the 251 they are a sidesteped. An Anti-tank project of three 75 mm equipped examples in 1934 and 1935. Büssing-NAG is ordered, in cooperation with Deutschen Werke, in 1937 to design an armored hull for the 3 ton artillery prime mover chassis. That starts its design-life with Hansa-Loyd-Goliath in 1933 but is standardized as Hanomag Hl Kl 6 (Sd.Kfz. 11). 1938 sees an order for a pre-production series. It is tested in Kummersdorf later that year.</blockquote><center><a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/Hanomag_1.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_Hanomag_1.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/Hanomag_2.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_Hanomag_2.jpg"></a><br><a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/Hanomag_3.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_Hanomag_3.jpg"></a> <a href="http://www.totalbf2.com/images.php?img=news/images/Hanomag_4.jpg"><img src="/news/images/thumb_Hanomag_4.jpg"></a></center><br>Nice to see a new update from the team.
