The Camionetta AS 42 Tipo II "Metropolitana" 47/32 is the third variant of the Camionetta Desertica Model 42 light reconnaissance car family. The AS 42 (Africa Settentrionale = North Africa) was built on the same chassis as the AB 41 armoured car but with a two-wheel-drive powertrain designed specifically for desert operations, especially reconnaissance. Its origins can be traced back to requests from North African divisions for a long-range, highly manoeuvrable vehicle similar to those used by the very effective British reconnaissance and raiding force, the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG). The main guns that could be installed were a 20 mm Breda Model 35 autocannon, a 20 mm Solothurn S-18/1000 anti-tank rifle, or a 47 mm Breda Cannone da 47/32 Model 39 tank gun. The armour was 17 mm thick all around the chassis, with three 12 mm bulletproof glass plates for the windshield.

Introduced in Update "Fire and Ice", the Camionetta AS 42 Tipo II "Metropolitana" 47/32 is a light reconnaissance vehicle for the Italian Army ground forces that is mounted with the 47 mm Breda Cannone da 47/32 Model 39 tank gun. It is intended as a long-range, agile vehicle for rapid raids on enemy lines before retreating to cover. The gun has good gun depression and can shoot over low ramps and steep terrain. With such a low profile, it is very easy to remain hidden on the battlefield and strike only when your opponents are not paying attention. Unfortunately, the vehicle lacks armour and the crew is completely exposed to the environment, thus lowering survivability. Overall, players should use its low profile and rapid speed to deal unexpected hits to adversaries before quickly retreating behind the front lines to reposition.
