Autoblinda 41

Description
The Autoblinda 41 (or, AB 41) is a 4x4 medium armored car armed with a 20mm autocannon. The AB 41 has the unique feature of two driving positions, one in the front and one in the rear, allowing the vehicle to drive with equal speed in both directions. However, the Autoblinda's rear armor is weaker than its frontal armor, meaning that the reverse drive should only be used when trying to escape. Although not as fast as some other armored cars, the AB 41 has excellent off-road capabilities and is troubled little by sand and steep gradients.

The AB 41 is well armored against small arms, but it is very vulnerable to anti-armor weapons. In addition, due to a design fault, the AB 41 is more prone to mechanical fires from critical hits than most other vehicles.

20mm Autocannon
The AB 41 is armed with a single 20mm Breda 35 autocannon. Originally designed as an anti-aircraft weapon, the autocannon fires high explosive shells that are very effective against infantry in the open and lightly armored vehicles. The 20mm gun does not have sufficient penetration to be a serious threat to tanks; however, flank attacks on have a chance of damaging their tracks and immobilizing the tank. The autocannon can elevate to fire on low-flying aircraft and infantry occupying high ground.

Breda 38 Machine Guns
The AB 41 is equipped with two Breda 38 machine guns, one mounted coaxial to the 20mm autocannon, and the other rear-facing on the hull. These MGs are weaker than the Breda M37 HMG, but slightly stronger than the Breda 30 light machine gun carried by infantry. They cannot be relied upon to suppress large numbers of infantry due to their long cooldowns between bursts.
