The German Hanomag 251 half-track was a useful armored half-track used for troop transport and also, some of the hanomags were converted to mobile anti-aircraft and some were equipped with rocket launchers that would fire 320mm rockets. These hanomag's rockets were highly inaccurate, but effective for bombardment of allied positions. A group of Hanomags would be used to rain down rockets on allied bases during German offensives.

The 251 Hanomag's armor was good against small arms, such as machine guns, but artillery, explosives, and tank attacks could severly damage the Hanomag.
