Steyr RSO/01
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raupenschlepper_Ost
It would be great to have this tractor in the game, especially in the variant with 2cm FlaK 38,
I do not know if it would be useful but there is even a 3d model available:

Raupenschlepper Ost (German: "Caterpillar Tractor East", more commonly abbreviated to RSO) was a fully tracked, lightweight vehicle used by the Wehrmacht in World War II. It was conceived in response to the poor performance of wheeled and half-tracked vehicles in the mud and snow during the Wehrmacht's first autumn and winter on the Soviet Front.[1]

The RSO was a contemporary with somewhat similar Allied full-tracked small artillery tractors in use in other armies (such as the Soviet STZ-5 "Stalingradec", and the U.S. Army's M4 Tractor), mostly originated from the pre-war light to medium series of Vickers artillery tractors.

Two variants of this vehicle were built: the basic cargo carrier, and a self-propelled antitank vehicle armed with a PaK 40 gun. Both shared the same chassis.

The RSO is included in the stock game.
But i agree that a version with a Flak gun would be nice

[Piotrek1]

That's true, I was mainly talking about the version with Flak 38, but it could also be other versions.

[enry711]

Looking forward for them!

I was just about to say, I saw that thing in the IL-1946, I have painted a skin for it too.
But I do not think there is a version with a flak gun on top of it.

To be honest, the game already has quite a few flak guns being transported on WW2 vehicles/tanks,
what I would like to see is a modern Toyota 4x4 pick-up Truck with a flak gun ! 
To be used as a terrorist vehicle in the Middle-East maps for us to go flying into action and shoot those things !

Yep totally agree with max
I personally like the idea of a Flak RSO but i also agree that we need modern vehicles as well
I requested the Black Hawk some days ago and with trucks armed with .50 cal i can create a proper somalian campaign!

Also modern tanks for NATO are badly needed.

Sorry, you are too late. We have a complete army of NATO+U.N. vehicles + Tanks.
Also modern Flak Tanks from Russia. Monster machines with fire-Power!

Ah !

Stock RSO is confusing treated.
I use not short time to find it in FMB.


RSO is shown up in Stationary Object menu, but not in Vehicles menu.

In looking into each STD/ ..../ ini files , No single vehicle entry is provided in stock games for RSO.
It appears as a member of some German Columns ---- "German Motorcycle Column" (GermanyCarsColumnD) , "German HQ Company Heavy Tank Batallion Tiger II" (Stab_sPzAbt_TigerII) and .... .


Btw,
its stock 3d model looks a bit cheap ..... ?

[Piotrek1]

@Max,
the version with Flak 38 can be found here,
https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/lightwave-steyr-rso-flak-38/955510
with all due respect to your preferences, not every player uses modern vehicles, for example I prefer those from the WWII period .

I was just about to say, I saw that thing in the IL-1946, I have painted a skin for it too.

maybe someone will write a campaign for terrorists (blue side).
@western0221
It's true, it doesn't look good, it would be great if someone wanted to improve it.

There exists a new version. It has more details.
Perhaps there could be an older (original model) version left inside the game from old times.
But there is a new version Raupenschlepper . At the moment I only see it in this German grey color. I will try to
paint other skins later.

[Epervier]

Yes, it's really the "stock" version! 
Fortunately, there was a complete reloock! 
In my 4.09/UP2.01 !

RSO is shown up in Stationary Object menu, but not in Vehicles menu.
