Good people on the AHF,
What would be the vehicle of choice for towing the 12,8 cm PAK 43 (Krupp)

Hi piet,

Taking into account that this gun weighed around 10ton, I suppose that it needed at least one SdKfz 8 12ton halftrack, although sometimes the Germans used smaller tractors to tow loads that exceeded their theoretical towing capacity.
