The Sonderkraftfahrzeug 222 (Sd.Kfz.222), also known as the Horch Armored Car (豪須裝甲車) from the name of its manufacturer, was the second variant in the series of light four-wheel-drive armoured reconnaissance vehicles (Leichter Panzerspähwagen) manufactured in Germany between 1935 and 1944 by Horch. A substantial quantity of German-made equipment was transported to China in 1933, marking the start of the Kuomintang government's army reorganising program. When these vehicles were shipped, they were still painted in the dark grey of the German army. The Chinese Nationalist Army emblem was painted on the right rear side of the armoured car body and under the turret after it arrived in China, but the original German emblem was retained. The Sd.Kfz.222 was deployed by the Chinese Nationalist Army's special motorised unit. Its mission was to serve as a fire support vehicle for the reconnaissance corps when scouting alongside the less heavily armed Sd.Kfz.221, which was armed only with machine guns. The Chinese Sd.Kfz.222 is an early model; thus, it differs slightly from that of the German army's Sd.Kfz.222 in terms of tires and gun system.

Introduced in Update "Sky Guardians", the Chinese Sd.Kfz.222 offers the Chinese Army's early-rank ground units swift attack autocannon armoured cars, which are extremely rare in Chinese tanks. As the autocannon lacks the capability to penetrate even the many light tanks prevalent in the early ranks, players should always try to flank the enemy whenever possible. Since the main autocannon has a high elevation angle of attack, this light tank can also be deployed for anti-aircraft tasks. This light armoured car will provide Chinese ground forces players with valuable insights into other nations' doctrine during World War II.
