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!

Looking forward to finally having a 251, although the PaK 40 one would be cool (I guess we can hope for one in the future, hopefully as a tech tree vehicle). Crafting events seem to always get hated on by the community and yet they keep happening.... curious.
I mean, this is really kind of a trash-tier reward. Tier 1 with a 37mm compared to the various other half-tracks with larger guns? And I assume all of the top-tier rewards will be non-premium as well? Idk about other people, but I do these events to get good grinding vehicles, not non-premium oddities or low-tier premiums that really don't help you grind anything. Of course, you can likely sell at least the top-reward on the market, but the price for the last ones is already not worth the grind.
Can we get this kinda event for SB players?
When does it start?
Okay, I mean this shouldn't be that hard to get right?
OMG one the one hand YESSS i have waited for so long for this and on the other NOOOOO why if have to be an event, i will get it just hope other Sd.Kfz.251's go in the tec tree omg will we see the willies jeep as well? i can only hope
cant you have the guy at the back crouch rather than be unrealistically standing up saying "shoot me, shoot me" ?
where's the mg over the back door? did Hans steal that too?
This is annoying. I really hope that half-tracks are relegated to light tank status as there is a severe lack of them in the German tech tree. They are already flooded with tank destroyers at the moment. For instance the Sd.Kfz. 251/22, the half-track with the 75mm PaK 40. That can easily be slid into the 4.0 or 4.3 slot and if given light tank status gives that slightly higher tier some scouting potential. Right now the 'scouts' of Germany fall on 2.7 and lower, and 6.3 and above.
Without getting into Premium there is a severe lack of them. I get there was a lack in the war as well, but so many of these scouting vehicles that could be added are being turned into Premium. I have my own share of Premium tanks I do admit, but Germany needs a bit more love in the scouting department. Especially mid-tier. For anything mid-tier you HAVE to rely on the Sd.Kfz.234/2 (2.7) or the Sd.Kfz.221(s.Pz.B.41)(1.0). It is insane to ask that. I'm not asking for made up vehicles, but come on
Oh boy if they are adding a 37mm, the pak 40 251 is soon...
