The Opel Maultier is a German halftrack converted from Opel Blitz.

Description[]

The Opel Maultier is an Opel Blitz truck with its rear wheels exchanged for tracks of captured Universal Carriers. This gives the vehicle better off road performance. The Maultier proved its worth especially on the muddy roads of Russia, where it excelled in supplying frontline units. As with the Opel Blitz, the Opel Maultier has space for a driver and a passenger at the front, and four more passengers at the back.

As with any other troop transport in the mod, the vehicle can provide first aid and ammunition to its passengers, as well as repair for friendly vehicles in the vicinity. It is unarmed and unarmoured, therefore one should avoid direct engagement with enemy forces whenever possible.

The Opel Maultier may also appear towing PaK 40 anti-tank gun in some maps. Another variant carries a 2cm Flak38 anti-aircraft gun on its truck bed.
