Sd. Kfz. 251

The Sd. Kfz. 251 was the standard German armored personnel carrier during World War II. They are a common enemy in the series, and are typically destroyed using anti-tank weaponry such as Panzerfausts or Panzerschrecks. In almost all appearances, they are shown armed with an MG42. On certain occasions, they are also shown in their capacity as troop transports.
==Call of Duty==
Halftracks are a common armored enemy in the campaign of Call of Duty. They are never seen transporting troops. Instead, their MG gunners provide withering suppressive fire. The fact that the machine gunner is protected by a bullet shield also makes them very difficult to pick off. Generally, shooting the machine gunner is enough to stop the threat, but they may also be destroyed using anti-tank weaponry such as the Panzerfaust 60, the Panzerschreck, the FlaK 88 or the Flakvierling. They cannot be damaged by bullets or grenades.
==Call of Duty: United Offensive==
In Call of Duty: United Offensive, half-tracks were used to transport units and also for providing covering fire. In the first mission, when the German forces open an attack on the American defense line of improved foxholes and mortars, the Germans used half-tracks in their assault intending to breach the American defense line while transporting SS Volksgrenadiers.

==Call of Duty 2==
In Call of Duty 2, half-tracks are encountered numerous times in the campaign, generally as armored support, personnel transport, or as rocket artillery (Panzerwerfers). They can be destroyed using the Panzerschreck. If the half-tracks are carrying Germans, the player can go to the door where the soldiers come out of, and shoot all the Germans, including the gunner. The player can use nearby walls and objects to parkour on top of the half-track, from which they can mount the MG-42. The driver of the half track can also be sniped from the front by shooting through the unarmored vision port, causing the half track to stop and the occupants to dismount. However, if the machinegunner has not already been killed, they will pose an issue with this strategy.
