"Since the invasion of Normandy by the Allied forces in 1944, the Axis have been in trouble with their opponent's air superiority and the sheer number of planes they can have in the sky at any given time. While they were developing jet powered aircraft, they also worked a lot on ground vehicles that could protect the troops. The Möbelwagen Ausf B (Model B) is the latest generation of these vehicles, built on the venerable Panzer IV chassis. But with six brand new guns. It is presented here in its Kondor Camo Pattern, as used in the Middle-East circa 1947."

Thing about some of these what ifs? is that they can stretch credibility a bit. The Dust setting aside, I have my doubts that if the war continued past 1945, and especially if Germany was resurgent, they'd make a new variant of the Mobelwagen with simply 6 30mm Mk103 cannons, when vehicles like the Wirbelwind, Ostwind & Kugelblitz were actual things designed to replace the Mobelwagen & other AA vehicles of that type. The Kugelblitz in fact may have seen actual combat at the end of the war. Damon. |

Might be faster to replace damaged 20mm guns with the Mk103s. |

The mobelwagen did not have 20mm cannons to begin with (at least only the prototype did), but instead mounted a 37mm FLAK. Damon. |

Ah. I can't keep track of what German flaktrack has what gun(s) except for the big 88s. |
