Mobility of the Vehicle is excellent and will take you wherever you need to go. Use this mobility to be able to quickly reach and prepare a sniper/ambush position, because it's all that's going to help your lack of machine guns and/or weak armour. Be careful when making sharp turns at max speed as the vehicle has a chance of tipping over.

The main gun of the Sd.Kfz.251/9 is, in effect, the same gun that you will find on all Pz.IVs found before the F2 model, as well as various other vehicles. In fact, this vehicle shares the same BR as its medium counterpart, the Pz.IV C. The difference between the two is that only the former gets access to the more capable Hl.Gr 38C round, which is frankly overkill at Br 1.3 (the most dangerous thing at 2.3 being the B1 Bis) but it does come in handy should more heavily armoured vehicles (e.g. Matilda, Shermans, KV1 if you were that desperate/crazy enough). The stock APCBC round has a potent Explosive filler and already has decent penetration for its BR, but do try to have a handful of HEAT rounds ready in case they are needed. One upside of the (relatively) large caliber of this BR is that you have access to a capable HE round, which makes overpressure of lightly-armoured/open-topped vehicles possible, a useful thing in case the local M13 MGMC shows up.

Ammunition
The available ammunition offers a wide range of shells to engage all types of targets:
- K.Gr.rot Pz.: APCBC; a slow shell with explosive filler mass that will knock out any tank with a single shot but has an average penetration power.
- Hl.Gr 38B: HEAT; a shaped charge with good penetration and without penetration loss over distance. Only penetrates flat vertical surfaces but the post-penetration damage is very effective on open and lightly armoured vehicles.
- Hl.Gr 38C: HEAT; a shaped charge with increased penetration over the previous shell. Very useful against heavily armoured targets.
- Sprgr. 34: HE; useful for destroying open and lightly armoured vehicles.
- K.Gr.Rot Nb.: Smoke; useful to blind enemy vehicles that are too remote for you to disable so that you can progress towards objectives.

Note:
- Shells are modeled individually and disappear after having been shot or loaded.
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the vehicle, the features of using vehicles in the team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view but instead give the reader food for thought. Describe the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Highly mobile for the BR, will get to one's destination first and quickly.
- Potent gun with a fast reload that allows for versatile engagement of enemies
- Gun depression makes hull
Cons:
- Open-topped, vulnerable to HE rounds, artillery strikes and strafing aircraft
- A single shot can knock out the driver, gunner and loader at once, leaving you vulnerable
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the vehicles;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
