Description

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.

General info

Survivability and armour

The Sd. Kfz. 221 has very weak armour. It gets penetrated on every side, so you should think of it as if you have no armour at all.

The problem of the Sd. Kfz 221 isn't really the armour. Its that the gunner is exposed. A single coaxial bullet can kill him and with him you will be knocked out.

Mobility

The mobility on the other hand is great for a wheeled vehicle you can go up to ... km/h (... mp/h) while driving forward. The double steering axles which allows it to make tight turns even though it is a wheeled vehicle. There is one main flaw in the double steering axles design: You are not really able to drive straight forward after the slightest turn. Your vehicle will oversteer by itself and you need to adjust on the other side. This goes on if you go on full speed. The best way to lower this behavior is to simply slow down before your truns.

Armaments

Main armament

Give the reader information about the characteristics of the main gun. Assess its effectiveness in a battle based on the reloading speed, ballistics and the power of shells. Do not forget about the flexibilty of the fire, that is how quickly the cannon can be aimed at the target, open fire on it and aim at another enemy. Add a link to the main article on the gun: {{main|Name of the weapon}}. Describe in general terms the ammunition available for the main gun. Give advice on how to use them and how to fill the ammunition storage.

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 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:

• Very fast.
• Good rate of fire from the main gun.
• Good penetration from the 28/20 mm ammunition.
• Small profile
• Low shell drop

Cons:

• Limited gun arc
• Thin armor; nearly all enemies - including airplanes - will be able to destroy it easily
• As with all armored cars, it can't pivot like tanks can.
• Can easily tip over in a sharp turn.
• Only 2 crew members; one crew member lost = instant loss (especially if you don't have Crew Replenishment researched)
• APCR is the only ammo choice

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the ground vehicle in more detail than in the introduction. 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: 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>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
