Matt "Xoom" CallahanThe M3 Halftrack is receiving its final touches from the Production team and today we wanted to share with you some additional screenshots, mainly from the internal (crew member) perspective. Continue reading for some more information how armored personnel carriers will be introduced, their affect on game play and see the current work in progress views. Thanks for your continued subscriptions making efforts like these possible. S!

This armored troop carrier is well equipped with an M2 .50 Caliber machine-gun mounted on top, and 10 seats for troops to sit in. It is also capable of towing light-medium anti-tank / anti-aircraft gun, much like how the 251 Halftrack for the Germans do today.

We have been thinking (though not confirmed) of eventually making the APC's of WWII Online (M3 HT for the US and French, Universal Carrier for the British, and 251 for the Germans) be the primary vehicle deploying mobile spawns. Respond with a comment to let us know what you think about this idea.

It seems to me to trucks should primarily be placing FMS's - where safe to do so - and APC's be used to transport infantry between the FMS, and closer to town (in the attack). Making APC's the primary FMS placement allows for FMS's to be placed closer than trucks can survive if coming under rifle-calibre fire, and some of us already think the FMS min distances are far too close already. Finally, if an ML sets the FMS, then despawns it to respawn as infantry, then it's lost, and unavailable to those who might wish to use it more properly. APC's to place FMS's, BAD IDEA. In fact, I'd go as far as saying they should not be able to set FMS's.

Just like axis personal carrier the gunner is unprotected and will be killed in seconds. Developers should concentrate on equipment that will make a significant difference. The panther for the axis and M16 multiple gun carriage for the allied.

Looks great! Like the spawn idea. Just make them a bit quieter. The 251 and SdKz are louder than a tank.

I really like the the idea of half tracks being primary vehicle deploying mobile spawns. I think it will have a very much positive affect on game play. Currently one spawns as truck to set up a mobile and despawns after. Having a half track with a gun means there is a reason not to despawn and instead support the infantry in attack. Hopefully, half tracks with AT guns could also deploy mobile spawns too as they could protect the mobile spawn from rushes of enemy armor too.
