There was two types of "222" made during the war, the second type being the same number. It was upgraded in horsepower and a few other minor details. |

It's small size, high speed and manuerability offered some protection from enemy fire. |

Opinion on deployment : One for the "Rats" - I can't strees enough that this vehicle is a definate must for War #1, by 1941. I will petition for it, if it is not included in the Battle of France.
