The Sd.Kfz.251/10 was a later variant of the well-known and widely used German WWII halftrack, equipped with a 3.7cm anti-tank cannon for increased firepower. Tankers will have the chance to add this special version of the Sd.Kfz.251 to their in-game arsenal by taking part in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist” in War Thunder!
Sd.Kfz.251/10, SPG, Germany, I rank. Premium.
Pros
- Rapid fire universal gun
Cons
- Low protection
Developed on the basis of the unarmored Sd.Kfz.11 halftrack, the Sd.Kfz.251 entered service with the Wehrmacht in 1939 and was intended as the primary transportation vehicle for the Panzergrenadier units of the German army. As such, the vehicle was intended to taxi troops into battle and protect them from small arms fire and shrapnel. By the end of the war, over 15,000 units of the Sd.Kfz.251 were built.
However, platoon leader vehicles received a special upgrade to their firepower in order to increase the effectiveness of fire support provided for advancing infantry. Namely, the standard machine gun mount was replaced by a turret housing a 3.7cm PaK anti-tank cannon. These versions, designated Sd.Kfz. 251/10, served with the Wehrmacht until 1944, by which time over 300 units were built.
The Sd.Kfz.251/10 will be one of the prizes awaiting tankers who take part in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”, starting soon in War Thunder. This infantry support version of the widely used German halftrack will mostly be seen in lower rank battles, where its decent mobility and quick-firing 37 mm anti-tank cannon are sure to cause some damage to the enemy lines.
However, while the Sd.Kfz.251/10 is well-protected against small arms fire and sharpnel with up to 14.5 mm of armor plating, it still remains vulnerable against dedicated anti-tank cannons as well as artillery fire and aircraft due to its open fighting compartment. Circumventing these drawbacks by simply changing positions frequently however will be more than enough to turn a seemingly harmless APC into a deadly low rank tank destroyer with some nifty premium bonuses!
Be sure to add the Sd.Kfz.251/10 to your collection of German armored fighting vehicles in War Thunder by taking part in the upcoming crafting event “Strategist”. Stay tuned to find out more and good hunting tankers!

please give P-51A TL again its been 5 years already!!
Nice! The first Sd.Kfz 252 in-game, hope to see the version with the PaK 40!
Well thank god this isn't the pak 40 version. Many people including me would have been very angry if the pak 40 version was a crafting event vehicle. Anyway now that we finally have a sdkfz 251 chassis, a host of long awaited possibilities open up, including the pak 40, mg 151/20 drilling, flak 38, and kwk 37 versions. I really hope at least the pak 40 and mg 151/20 drilling versions come as normal tech tree or squadron vehicles.
can we have 10 crew members on this?
and not all standing up waiting to be shot... geez mod the next lot ducking down taking cover ffs
This will definitely be the start of a series of Sd.Kfz.251 vehicles. Later on they will add the /2, /4, /9, /17, /21, /22, /23... each one behind a more expensive paywall/girding event...
i bet they will do it like the pumas the 50mm will be in tech tree and rest behind paywall... i hope i am wrong.... 1 behind pay wall is fine but let the others be in the damn tech tree
Let me guess: if there's a boat in this event, it's gonna be American. So far you have the other two most played nations getting content, that just leaves the US.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY. No really I've been wanting this thing in game forever Gaijin. Hope we see a version of it in the tech tree too
all of them and the shorter 250's
What do devs that claim to be making a realistic and historically accurate game do with iconic vehicle models? Well, why, they introduce them in a one-off event, so that as little people as possible get them, and newer players are forced to buy them off the market. Then they prompt to add more obscure as fuck prototypes that debatably never existed and never saw combat. And THEN they delete one of the most iconic german vehicles from the tech tree. Haha, bad decisions bo BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
this will make me happy on its own it a great collectors peace and at the same time a step in the right direction since it gives us the possibility for more German halftracks. but i really hope that in the future we get the better versions in the tech tree
Nice vehicle, but now gaijin we need ALL the other variants (or at least the pak 40 variant), you can't escape your fate! On a side note, many people complain about having for now only russian and german vehicles, but it is logic as they already have fullfilled regular trees, there is just a need for more regular vehicles for other tree for the next major update and none to few german, soviet/russian and american vehicles.
