Base model and first production series of light armored car built on a standardized chassis for military use. The Sdkfz. 221 was armed with a single 7.92 mm Maschinengewehr 34 (MG34) machine gun, manned by a two man crew, and had 4-wheel drive. Armour protection was originally 8 mm thick, but increased to 14.5 mm later in production.
History
The SdKfz 221 Armored Car was a common vehicle in reconnaissance patrols. Protected from small arms fire, and armed with a single light machine-gun, the SdKfz 221 was ill-suited for heavy combat. Its four-wheel design gave it poor off-road performance, which limited it to scouting roads and well-maintained trails. They were utilized by the Panzeraufklärungsabteilung (Mechanized Reconnaissance Battalion) of Panzer, and Panzergrenadier divisions as their main recon element. A patrol of one or two SdKfz 221 were led by a single SdKfz 223 radio-equipped armored car.
Tactics & Tips
- Scouts Cars are lightly armored, and can fall quickly to small arms fire, but they have a MG 42, which does good damage against infantry.
