General

Better known as the Scania P124CB the WLS and WLS-P (Wisselaadsysteem and Wisselaadsysteem – Pallet Du: Swap Loading System) are heavy 8x8 utility trucks based off the Scania 4-series of commercial tractors. The WLS version is equipped with a stowable container handling unit capable of handling standard 6m (20ft) ISO containers while the WLS-P has a Hiab material handling crane (non-functional) and is fitted with a multi-lift load handling system to carry a variety of flatracked cargo including:

  • Lumber
  • Fascines
  • Miscellaneous tarped cargo

Note that both versions can be set to carry no cargo. As currently modeled (rev. 4.156), these vehicles cannot perform re-supply operations and serve no practical tactical role beyond that of a high value target to be either defended or destroyed.

Although the modeled WLS and WLS-P are specific to the Netherlands, the Scania P124CB series is also in use by both the Irish and Swedish militaries, and the vehicles have civilian markings available for scenario design purposes.
