The Sd.Kfz.234/1 - A light reconnaissance vehicle for BR1

[GasMasters-live]

The Sd.Kfz.234/1 was a variant of the Sd.Kfz.234 platform, of which we have two versions in game already, armed with a 50mm (234/2) and short 75mm cannon (234/3). This version, the original Sd.Kfz.234, had a much different armament compared to those two. It had ‘Hängelafette’ turret instead of the version we know to use the 50mm cannon, which was a shorter, hexagonal design. The turret was open topped but had closeable mesh screens.

This turret used the same main gun as the Flakpanzer I, the 20mm KwK 38 cannon (450 RPM), and also had a coaxial mount for a MG34, but more commonly MG42 (which is the one used in WT). I think that instead of the low penning API-T shells used on other 20mm cannons, it should get HVAP-T shells which have much better penetration (48mm @ 10 meters and 45mm @ 100 meters).

Apart from that, it shares all the other stats of the Sd.Kfz.234 series does such as the good speed and reverse gearbox. Ideally this would be a rider vehicle, but would probably be implemented as a tank.

I think this should definitely be RT because it was the most produced variant

[warfare_master]

a better option would be the sdkfz 231, as it is both early war so low BR makes sense, it has an enclosed turret AND was wide spread on the fronts irl

[SneakyFishXII]

There is a lot of allied and axis armored cars that honestly should be in game.

And for the reason Gilt noted it should be in the tech tree before the Puma.

no cause 222 exists, fk the puma base, give something new

[GiltBurrito7238-live]

The 222, 231 AND 234 can all be added. It shouldnt have to be a competition, the more the better

Initially voted for Event (without squad), this changed my mind, thank you.
