Panhard 178

The Panhard 178, AMD-35 or "Pan-Pan" was an advanced French reconnaissance 4x4 armoured car designed for the French Cavalry before World War II. It had a crew of four and was equipped with a 25mm cannon as main armament and a 7.5mm coaxial machine gun. The armoured car would be deployed in France and in their holdings in North Africa and Indo-China. After the French defeat the newly formed Vichy state was allowed to keep about 60 in service. Shortly before the war a tank destroyer with a more powerful 47 mm SA 35 gun was being developed, the turret would have no space for a machine gun and gave the vehicle a high profile.

The ingame performance is not very great. It is fast, but the gun shoots too slow. It is a great vehicle to rush flags and destroy weak targets like light tanks.

P204(f)

A large amount of these vehicles were taken over in 1940 by the Germans after the fall of France and employed as the Panzerspähwagen P204(f). For some months after the armistice of June, the production continued for the benefit of Germany. To protect railways the armoured car was modified to run on railway tracks. After the Vichy state was occupied some of the armoured cars that the Germans seized were modified with a new open-top turret with a 50 mm gun.

The in-game performance is not very great. It is fast, but the gun shoots too slow. It is a great vehicle to rush flags and destroy weak targets like light tanks. You can find this vehicle in North Africa such as on El Alamein and on some of the Eastern Front maps, used by the German side, and painted with a brown camouflage. On the other map, Bryansk it is, it has grey camouflage.
