SdKfz 234/4 (PaK 40) Armoured Car
(WGB-WM-223)

Born of a desperation for more mobile anti-tank weapons as the Allied armies closed in on Germany, Hitler ordered that the 234/3 be upgraded to carry the far superior Pak40 anti-tank gun.

As a stand-in weapon it was still deployed with reconnaissance units and proved quite effective.

The SdKfz 234 series were eight-wheeled armoured cars used for armed reconnaissance ahead of a formations line of advance. There were 4 official versions and possibly some 'unofficial' field conversions:

234/1 with a 20mm gun and MMG in an open-topped turret
234/2 Puma with the 50mm in a fully-enclosed turret
234/3 mounting a short-barrel 75mm gun in an open fighting compartment
234/4 with the long barrel 75mm Pak40 anti-tank gun in an open fighting compartment
SdKfz with Luchs turret i.e. a single example of a 234/2 Puma hull married with a Panzer II Luchs turret

In Bolt Action

Fast mobile weaponry such as this can make a real difference when it comes to securing an avenue of approach early in a battle. Particularly good on the flanks, move up to a good position early to hinder the enemy, or at least distract them from your real objectives.
