Armored Car



The Armored Car is a small armored combat Vehicle with 2 seats.

Description
The Armored Car seats a crew of 2 (1 driver, 1 gunner). Unlike the Half-track, the gunner is enclosed within the vehicle and is not exposed and vulnerable.

The default variant has a pair of 7.92mm machine guns, has a 30 round magazine, a moderate reload time, and a 5 rounds/s fire rate. Despite the machine gun’s capability of 360 degree rotation, the rotation speed is relatively slow.

Its armor is very light, it's able to soak small arms fire and shrapnel but anything else should be considered a dangerous threat. It won't last long when faced with heavy calibers, heavy explosives. Anti-tank weaponry is almost always a death sentence.

Tactics
Due to the vehicle's mediocre speed off-road and slow turning turret, it is better to stay on roads so you can react faster if you're getting flanked. Another reason is that a single Anti-Tank Mine is a death sentence. Like the other offensive vehicles, it's strongly advised for the crew to wear gas masks and filters once Green Ash is unlocked. It's also better to not use the car at night due to the limited visibility.

On The Front Line
Against a fortified position, it's advised to use the AC backward (rear to the enemy and turret facing back) to allow a quicker retreat, because the vehicle is faster when moving forward and its armor identical on all sides. As the AC's gun has mediocre accuracy you'll be often forced to close in to be effective. This incentivizes a hit & run tactic (especially effective on bridge fights). However, the AC is much better suited to attack enemy infantry out in the open, rather than to push enemy defensive lines.

Once heavy anti-tank weapons are unlocked the AC becomes pretty much obsolete on the front line, because many of those outranges the AC's inaccurate gun, kill it very quickly, and the vehicle lacks a spotter position to warn the crew in advance.

Against Partisans
The standard ACs equipped with machine guns are excellent against small groups of enemies attacking your back lines on foot or with a LUV since they rarely have the heavy weapons, the numbers, or the defensive positions to kill an AC, especially early in the war. However it's not advised to fight a Landing APC if one attacks your back lines due to the high chance of it carrying heavy weaponry.
