General Information
The PzKpfw I Ausf B ohne Aufbau based on the existing PzKpfw I and was in use from 1936 to 1940.

The PzKpfw I Ausf B ohne Aufbau was the first fully tracked repair and maintenance vehicle produced. It was used until 1940 when it was found to be too small to perform recovery on the increasingly larger main German tanks. It was then used as a training vehicle

It was track driven with the engine and drive sprocket to the front of the vehicle, the track fed under 5 roadwheels, and then under a rear idler, finally returning to the front drive sprocket via 4 return rollers.

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.

The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre, the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
