The Light AT Halftrack served as the reconnaissance platoon leader's SdKfz 250 variant with 3.7 cm PaK 35/36. This was the same antitank gun used in a towed mode early in the war. It was normally without protection shield, if any it was a small one.

A SdKfz 250/10.

History

Used almost exclusively as the platoon leader's transport in a Panzeraufklärungs company (Mechanized Reconnaissance Infantry company), the SdKfz 250/10 could carry six men and was armed with a 3.7cm PaK36, instead of a light machine-gun. The PaK36 had acquired the nickname of "doorknocker", as its light round merely bounced off of enemy armor, but it was still useful against light vehicles or dug-in troops, when firing HE rounds.

Tactics & Tips

  • Although used to counter tanks, it is vulnerable to tank fire; best when supported by other units.
  • Tread Breaker is good for disabling vehicles and tanks.
  • Using tread breaker, together with range and the power of the Marder III can lead to devastating tank killer results.
  • Focused Fire helps improve its effectiveness versus infantry akin to sniping.
