It also fields severalvariants of the ubiquitous French Renault UE tracked tractor,either as unarmed light tractor/transport (UE630(f)), firesupport/weapon carrier for the heavy Hotchkiss HMG (UE630(f) Sicherungs)or armed transport for scouts (UE630(f) MG) much in the same way as theBritish Bren Carrier. Speaking of which, Major Becker’s workshophad first tried its hands on Carriers abandoned by the British at Dunkirk, andthose few remaining in 1944 were used by the Luftwaffe tomount either a 20mm Flak gun (Flakpanzer Bren(e)) or Dutch Böhler47mm anti-tank gun (Panzejäger Bren(e)). This motley assortment ofobsolete & tinkered vehicles gives the 16. LwFD theability to provide its infantry with some level of support against enemyinfantry or light vehicles.
该师还投入不少的法制雷诺UE拖拉机作为运输工具或火力支援。21装甲师的Becker少校的实验首先就是从敦刻尔克英国人遗弃的装备上开始,到1944年,德国空军用他们来装载20毫米防空炮或荷兰制47毫米反坦克炮。这些五花八门支援装备聊胜于无,能够给予步兵一些火力支持。
Its early anti-tankguns are restricted to a few PaK 38 50mm guns, althoughthe Panzerjäger Bren(e) provides a more mobile gun and theSoviet gun-howitzers in the artillery tab can double as decent anti-tank guns,just like in the 91. LLD.
和第91空降机动师类似,该师的早期反坦克武备只有PAK3850毫米反坦克炮,改装的机动反坦克炮和缴获苏制野战炮。
But where the 16.LwFD truly shines is the anti-aircraft tab. There, the AA crews aredoing what they’ve always trained for, and are all experienced in the use oftheir guns. Elite Flak 88mm comes in number, including two ofthem from Phase A. Light bombers and “light” off-map artillery are alsoavailable in early game in the AIR tab.
接着,第16空军野战师在防空火力上却十分出彩。防空班组各尽其职,精锐的88炮数量众多,从A阶段起便有2门。在空军栏下,轻型轰炸机和地图外炮兵一样能够供指挥官差遣。
In this phase, the division really is moresuited for defense.
该阶段该师更适合防御。

In Phase B, moreinfantry is available, including heavy HMG team with s.MG 271(f),German designation for the French Hotchkiss 13,2mm, giving theGermans a counterpart to the US .50 cal. It also receives a few of itsfirst two StuG III F/8 & StuH 42, and itsanti-tank capacity is enhanced by a few Pak 40.
Once again, it is in theAA tab that’s it gets the best improvement, with two self-propelled Flak gunson NAG 4500 heavy truck, the NAG 4500 37mm (armoredtruck variant) sporting a modern Flak 43 gun, and the NAG 4500Drilling (unarmored variant) with two triple-15mm guns. Thatmakes six very heavy MG indeed, 50% more and of bigger caliber than theAmerican M16 half-track. Finally, it gets the Flakzwilling37mm, a twin-37mm towed gun. And of course, more elite 88mm.
B阶段,更多步兵抵达,包括法制霍奇凯斯13.2毫米重机枪班组,3号突击炮,StuH42和PAK 40反坦克炮。防空火力继续得到加强,两辆自行NAG4500防空重卡,NAG 4500 37毫米防空炮以及装备两挺三管15毫米机枪的NAG 4500 Drilling。还有37毫米高炮和更多精锐88炮。

With its best income inthis phase, 16. LwFD can either push forward as much as it canto later try to hold the captured ground, OR stay on defense andaccumulate a war chest for the next Phase…
In Phase C, 16.LwFD gets what it had lacked in the previous phases to really getmoving: StuG III G (including command variant), JU 188 heavybombers, heavy Hs 129 B3 Panzerknäcker and 210mm off-mapartillery support, still in Beo.Storch.
该阶段的经济达到顶峰,第16空军野战师可以进攻并守住占领的阵地,也可以继续防御。在C阶段该师得到之前缺少的装备:3号突击炮G,JU188重型轰炸机,HS 129 B3坦克开罐器和通过空军侦察机观测的210毫米地图外炮兵支援。
