My take on the iconic Opel Blitz 2.3 - Kfz 305 German WW2 multi-purpose truck.
This Blitz C command and radio car was used by frontline officers for planning and transmitting orders to the troops.

The layout of the rear cab is an approximation since doors need to be at least 90 cm wide for Bob's phat *ss to get through them. The rear side doors should be closer to 60 cm wide but it is what it is. The interior is my design as I could find no images of what they'd look like inside. Sadly Bob is too thicc to be able to move around much.

I added a rotating axle between the engine and the rear differential just for fun.

Info from truck-encyclopedia.com, somewhat edited.

The Opel Blitz 3.6 was adopted as standard due to a competition for military cargo trucks with off-road capabilities. The 3-ton Blitz won and the Opel factory received a massive order for what became the standard Wehrmacht truck. The Kfz.305 (4 x 2) was intensively used in many types making the 3-ton an iconic Wehrmacht vehicle. About 100,000 were delivered to the German military, displaying their characteristic lightning emblem on the radiator front panel. It was used in all theatres of battle where the German fought.

Aside their production and availability, what made these trucks immortal was their reputation of hardiness and ease of maintenance and repair. The European conflict saw huge numbers of trucks needed. In addition to military production many thousands of prewar civilian Opel Blitz S were drafted into army units as well. These were also brought up to army standard under the same denomination, Kfz.305, the sole official military designation for the Opel Blitz, whatever the type. In fact in total about 140 different army modifications were made on the Opel Blitz chassis, from radio cars to repair workshops, fuel trucks, mobile laundries or printing-trucks and staff buses or fire trucks as well.

From 1937 up to 1944 of the 140,000 vehicles built, 82,356 were listed as standard army Blitz S trucks, 14,122 as long wheelbase 3-tons and 8,363 with a shorter wheelbase, 2.5 tons. In 1942 Daimler Benz AG was involved under license manufacturing and these Mercedes-built Blitz were visually identical, called Mercedes L701. License production started only in 1944, after the destruction of the Russelheim plant by RAF night raids.

The Blitz became an integral part of the organization of Panzer Divisions. Their Ground pressure was low, despite a 2x4 drive, allowing them to overcome many obstacles and soft ground, even competing with three-axle trucks. The Eastern campaign fully took advantage of the Opel Blitz. Unlike diesel engines, their gasoline engines could be started with the help of just boiled water in very cold weather conditions. Large numbers of these were also captured by the Red Army from 1943 as trophies, and they went on to serve with the Russians until parts fatigue and cannibalization went to an end. The Russians loved them for the same reasons as the Germans. Many of these Russian Blitz took part in the great offensive in August 1945 against the Japanese in eastern China.

CONTROLS
WASD: Drive.
Spacebar: Handbrake.
L / Headlights: Headlights.
K / Hazard lights: Blackout light.
H / Horn: Horn.

Radio mast, trailer Warning Triangle and doors are all operated with buttons on them. The radio mast should really be a telescope mechanism but since that is impossible in the game I had to improvise. Due to the absolute rubbish rubber actuators in the game it's a bit janky going up and down but it works.
The spare wheel is for some reason impossible for Bob to lift regardless of how light I make it.

Feel free to edit, but if you reupload publicly in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

Hello Mean Green, I wanted to ask if you could create German armored recovery vehicles in different versions if you wanted?
Many thanks in advance

No, I'm afraid I'm tired of building planes, especially with the poor and illogical aerodynamics in the game that seems to be here to stay. So no planes for now at least.
