Hey Tanker,

You talking about this beast?

An explaination from the net, "Interesting conversion was Ausf D1 (some sources state that it was an early model Bergepanther** ) fitted with bolted on PzKpfw IV Ausf H's turret (that could not be traversed), which served as a command tank of schwere Heeres Panzerjager Abteilung 653 on the Eastern Front in early/mid of 1944. The same unit used other early model Bergepanther that was mounted with 20mm Flakvierling anti-aircraft gun and Flakpanzer T-34(r)."

Hope this helps...

I saw that one too with the same explaination. At first thought it would be fun to try but then though a shame for accuracy that the turret is fixed. Still... :problem:
