== Historical Data == Half-tracks were very common in the various [[Axis]] armed forces. They gave the German army a great mobility, which was important during its "Blitzkrieg" assaults on neighboring countries. Many halftracks were modified to suit different roles in the battlefield. The Light AT Halftrack was one such modification, achieved by replacing a halftrack's MG34 machine gun with a 37mm anti-tank gun. This gave the Panzer divisions a highly mobile tank destroyer. The 37mm gun is a pre-war Pak 36; it was a useless piece of equipment against tanks, but as time went by and the Germans actively upgraded their shells with tungsten-cored armor-piercing shells. Eventually, the shells were also upgraded with shaped-charged warheads, enabling the half-track to engage and destroy tanks. Even though it does not have the caliber to destroy enemy tanks quickly, a few of these units can halt an advance thanks to their gun crews' superior training. === Reference === At [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Wikipedia]: *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3.7_cm_Pak_36 Pak 36 3.7cm gun] *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SdKfz_250 Sd.Kfz.250 half-track]
