Sd. Kfz 234

Background
German armoured wheeled vehicles were in development even before the outbreak of the Second World War. Battle experience in Poland showed potential and the idea of the armoured car was taken further. The earlier models were improved and upgraded, with one variant even designed for the hot climate in Africa. Nicknamed the "Puma", it saw action in the western theater, but was replaced by the more simple Sd.Kfz. 234/1 after mid 1944.

Strategy
The Sd.Kfz 234/2 also know as the "Puma" broadly resembles the appearance of Sd.Kfz. 232. It replaces the 2 cm autocannon with a 5 cm main gun.

Being fast, nimble, and cable of holding its own in combat, the Puma is best used as an ambush vehicle. It can hit the enemy and move quickly to another position.

The Puma also works well against enemy tanks if their crew is distracted. Always go for the rear, hitting and taking out their engine. The fast car works wonders in flanking positions.

The armor is light but can take several shots from the front, save hits from heavily armed tanks like the Firefly. Always remember to use the speed of the vehicle to your advantage. But take cover when needed.
