Hi,
I'm currently in the midst of making my own tank game and am currently looking for a suitable late war, lightly-armoured 12,8cm tank proposal. Whilst looking around, I found this interesting vehicle, the "Einheitswaffenträger mit 12,8cm L/55 K81", and was wondering if anyone had any more information regarding it except for the one image linked below. I believe it's also the vehicle Trumpeter has made a model of, specifically their "12.8cm PaK 44 Waffenträger Krupp I"

thanks :)

Nope, they're different vehicles as far as I can tell. The Waffenträger auf Panzer IV, or Mittlerer Waffenträger, is this:

Ah okay. I don't have that book, is there any information about the vehicle or is it just mentioned in passing?
 
Thank you so much! I've also found out myself just now it's the Mittlere Einheitswaffenträger and also known as the Krupp I (Egen) Waffenträger. Apparently a prototype was developed with a 10,5cm LefH, which was supposed to be interchangeable with a 12,8cm as seen in my original image and a 15cm sFH.

Attached are some photos of the prototype

Looks a lot like a French Mk F3 155mm gun; Mk F3 155mm - Wikipedia
