The SdKfz 222 version of the vehicle was armed with a 2 cm KwK 30 L/55 autocannon and a 7.92 mm MG34 machine gun. The third crew member was the gunner, relieving the commander of that task. Some versions included a 28 mm armored piercing cannon.

History

The SdKfz 222 Armored Car was an up-gunned variant of the SdKfz 221, mounting a partially-closed turret with a 2cm KwK38 gun, and a light machine gun. With slightly more firepower than the SdKfz 221/223, it could knock out light vehicles yet lacked the armour for heavy combat. Just as with the SdKfz 221, it had poor off-road performance and tended to stay on roads. It was normally led by a SdKfz 223 radio-equipped armored car, when patrolling ahead of the Panzer and Panzergrenadier divisions.

Tactics & Tips

  • The Armored Car can completely devastate infantry, even more so if kiting.
  • Although it is "armored", it is still vulnerable to small arms fire (especially to the U.S. Rifleman's BAR's)
