Tactics

The Mortar Halftrack is a good early unit when fighting the British. Use the incendiary rounds to quickly destroy trenches and early emplacements without jeopardizing your troops.
The Mortar Halftrack is the bane of the British early game, as their swift speed allows them to attack a target from all available angles. Although a beginning player may not (or cannot) do this, once you've mastered your gameplay (micro and macro) to pwndom, you can dance a group of Mortar Halftracks around your enemy and advance up the tech tree at the same time, leading to your endgame army, and zero Mortar Halftrack casualties.

History

The SdKfz 250/7 was a variant of the SdKfz 250 series of light halftracks. It was intended to be the transport for an 8cm GrW34 mortar team in the heavy platoon of a Panzeraufklärungs company (Mechanized Reconnaissance). The team could also fire the mortar from within the halftrack, providing them extra protection and mobility. Up to two of these halftracks were provided per Panzeraufklärungs company.
