Notes: The SdKfz 222 armored car was fast and maneuverable, though its cross-country performance was limited by only four wheels and its power-to-weight ratio. It was used throughout the war. The chassis was overloaded by the 20mm gun and turret. The gun was fully automatic and loaded from a 10-round magazine. Typical ammo load: 100AP, 120HE.
