The Sd Kfz 251 is a Transport Vehicle, the German Sonderkraftfahrzeug 251 half-track that became the standard armoured personnel carrier of the Wehrmacht from 1939 onward. Thousands were built in several variants for carrying infantry, command, and weapons. In-game it is a tracked vehicle weighing 7.8 tonnes with seating for 11 — driver, gunner, commander, and eight passengers. The MB HL42 petrol engine produces 99 horsepower (12.7 hp/t) for 52 km/h forward and 10.7 km/h reverse. Armament is a single 7.92mm MG34 in the forward fighting compartment with a 1x sight; the vehicle relies on speed and infantry dismounts rather than heavy armour or firepower.
