| |
| − | <!--''In the description, the first part needs to be about the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle, as well as its key features. In the second part, tell the reader about the ground vehicle in the game. Insert the screenshot of the vehicle. If the novice player does not remember the vehicle by name, they will immediately understand what kind of vehicle it is talking about.''-->

| |
| − | ''Describe armour protection. Note the most well protected and key weak areas. Appreciate the layout of modules as well as the number and location of crew members. Is the level of armour protection sufficient, is the placement of modules helpful for survival in combat?''

Try not to use more than 6 points for each of the characteristics. Avoid using categorical definitions such as "bad", "good" and the like - they have a substitution in the form of softer "inadequate", "effective".''-->
| |
| − | '''Pros:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Unlocks potent PzGr 40 APCR belt that is identical to the German 20 mm autocannons
| |
| − | * Reasonably fast on flat paved terrain especially roads
| |
| − | * Good acceleration
| |
| − | * Much quicker than other tracked competitors because it can steer both sides at 45° angle
| |
| − | * Very sharp turns
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Cons:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The "Armor" is only barely adequate at stopping rifle calibre bullets, everything else will shred it
| |
| − | * Only 8 rounds per magazine, which is quickly expended
| |
| − | * Long reload for a small magazine
| |
| − | * Individual shells don't do much internal damage upon penetration
| |
| − | * PzGr 40 belt requires unlocking a tier IV modification
| |
| − | * Default belt is 50/50 API-T and HEF-T Shells
| |
| − | * API-T struggles at longer ranges or even at slightly angled armour
| |
| − | * Off-road is lacklustre
| |
| − | * Sharp turns make it prone to tipping over
| |

If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.''-->

| − | An advanced automotive design, with the similar AB 40 it gave the Italian Army a modern armoured car during the Second World War. The {{PAGENAME}} had a 4x4 layout, with four-wheel steering and fully independent suspension. The freely rotating spare wheels, positioned midway along the sides of the hull, prevented the vehicle from bellying out when crossing obstacles. It also had a rear driver position. The AB 40 had 2 coaxial machine guns in the turret and a third rear-facing machine gun. The AB 41 had the 20 mm gun in place of one of the turret machine guns, and also had an increase in engine horsepower over the other design. In total 24 AB 40 and 560 AB 41s were built. They served in the reconnaissance units of armoured, motorized and cavalry divisions, as well as in independent recon companies and platoons, with 4 vehicles per platoon. The AB 40s only were used in North Africa, but AB 41s were active on all fronts, including 30 sent to Russia.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Germans seized 37 AB 41 and another 20 in production when Italy fell in 1943. They used these, along with 102 AB 43s converted back to a 20 mm main gun, and known as AB 41/43s.
