VEHICLES
VW 82 Kubelwagen: A fast Jeep suitable for
recon jobs as long as you stay out of sight.
Maximum Speed: 80 KM/H.
SdKfz. 251: Armoured semi-caterpillar
truck. Useful for attacking large groups of infantry because it can not
be damaged by infantry weapons and it has a fixed machine gun.
Maximum Speed: 60 KM/H.
Opel Admiral: Only suitable for transport
because it is not protected in any way and you can not shoot from it.
Maximum Speed: 132 KM/H.
Opel-Blitz: Like the Opel Admiral,
suitable for moving troops. It is very vulnerable and you can only fire
out from the back.
Maximum Speed: 85 KM/H.
Mercedes: Vulnerable and you can only fire from the sides.
Maximum Speed: 75KM/H.
BMW-R75: By far the most manouverable vehicle. Brilliant for recon because
it is fast and also has a fixed machine gun.
Maximum Speed: 92 KM/H.
Panzerkampwagen IV: Only designed to battle infantry so it does not stand
a chance in direct combat with a Tiger.
Maximum Speed: 42 km/H.
Panzerkampwagen V: Technically the same as the mark IV but both the
driver and gunner are totally covered so it's safer.
Maximum Speed: 42 km/H
Panzerkampwagen VI Tiger: This is a heavy war tank which can take out
most ground based targets, including troops.The Tiger's great disadvantage
is that it is incredibly slow.
Maximum Speed: 37 KM/H.
Gunboat: A slow vehicle but good for launching attacks on shore-based
targets with the machine gun or to launch attacks with your sniper while
you are safe in the middle of the river.
Maximum Speed: 15 KM/H.
Lancaster Bomber: Mostly only used as air support but sometimes used
to drop off and pick up troops. One fixed machine gun installed and two
places to shoot from.
Maximum speed: 462 KM/H.
Consolidated PBY Catalina: Only suitable for escape, no weapons or places
to shoot from. Of American origin it beat the Douglas design flying boat
for an order for the US Navy and was used widely during the war. Its main
job during the war was fleet-spotting, it was an RAF Catalina that spotted
the Bismark prior to its sinking.
Maximum speed: 315 KM/H.
The Lutzow (previously named Deutschland): German heavy destroyer. It is
now known that this ship carries with it a decoder with all German codes
encrypted on it. After the Allies captured the Decoder and the ship was
torpedoed by a U-boat the ship was captured by the Soviet Army.
Maximum speed: 26 knots.
German U-boat: The pride and joy of the Kriegsmarine. The Under-wasser
boats patrolled the trade routes to and from Britain torpedoing merchant
vessels to stop vital supplies getting to the United Kingdom. Many of the
Submarines were launched from locations around Norway. The Germans knew
what would happen if any of there ships were captured so the commanders
of these mighty weapons had orders to sink any seriously damaged and abandoned
German vessel.
Gunboat: A slow vehicle but good for launching attacks on shore-based targets
with the machine gun or to launch attacks with your sniper while you are
safe in the middle of the river.
Maximum Speed: 15 KM/H.
Assault gun: Very slow can't go as fast as a tank but it's gun is much
more powerful.
Radio jeep: A vehical used by four man SAS squads equiped with a long range
radio to talk to Allied Command and a fixed machien gun. Has good traction
and goes quite fast. The jeep is armoured but does not cover your men,
as long as you are going fast enough you should be safe you don't have
to worry about the car blowing up with your men in it.
Civilian car: Many civilians had cars through the war but petrol was
rationed so don't expect to find more than a couple of litres in the tank.
