The Sd.Kfz.251/22 is a further tank destroyer variant of the widely used German Sd.Kfz.251 series of halftracks, already familiar to some tankers. Combining its small size with an everything but small high velocity anti-tank cannon, the unique Sd.Kfz. 251/22 will soon await tankers as one of the main prizes in the upcoming new season of War Thunder Battle Pass!
Sd.Kfz.251/22, tank destroyer, Germany, rank II, premium
Pros
- Devastating cannon
- Premium bonuses
Cons
- Poor protection
- Average mobility
In the final years of WWII, the Wehrmacht really began to feel the short supply of equipment due to the increasingly worsening war situation for Germany. Among all this, the Wehrmacht experienced a particular lack of self-propelled anti-tank vehicles as the Allies began pushing German troops back to their homeland. As a result, the order for the urgent conversion of the Sd.Kfz.251 half-tracks into tank destroyers armed with the 7,5 cm PaK 40 cannons was issued in late 1944.
After minor modifications were made, the first prototype of the Sd.kfz.251/22 was built in December 1944 while mass production began only a short while later. By March 1945 well over 200 units were produced. However, production was cut short due to the rapid advance of the Red Army in 1945. In service, the Sd.Kfz.251/22 although proving somewhat effective, suffered greatly from its excessive weight leading to frequent suspension breakdowns. Nonetheless, the Sd.Kfz 251/22 served on until the war’s end whilst captured versions continued theri service with Yugoslav forces well into the 1950s!
The Sd.Kfz.251/22 will be one of the main prizes awaiting participants of the New season of Battle Pass “Fearless Voltigeur”, soon starting in War Thunder.
Based on the chassis of the familiar German half-track already known to some tankers in the game, the Sd.Kfz.251/22 offers its aspiring commanders much more substantial levels of firepower thanks to its larger high velocity cannon!
Armed with the 7,5 cm PaK 40 cannon tankers may already be familiar with from other German tank destroyers such as the ‘Pakwagen’, the Sd.kfz.251/22 is ideally equipped to deal with most other hostile armor it may encounter on the battlefield! However, the vehicle’s relatively high combat mass combined with only light protection make it an easy target for both aircraft as well as commanders of lighter, and thus more mobile vehicles. As a result, the Sd.Kfz.251/22 is a true glass cannon - potentially highly effective in the hands of a skilled tanker, but also easily taken out by cunning opponents!
Be sure to add the unique Sd.Kfz.251/22 to your in-game collection by taking part in the upcoming new season of the War Thunder Battle Pass. Good hunting tankers!

Been hoping for the Pak Track for some time, glad to see it's finally here
A nice addition indeed :)
But behind paywall
Nice to see more halftracks. BUT!!! You do know there are other countries in this game. Other then USA, Ger, RU/USSR. Just giving one vehicle to one of the minor does not count. Would be nice to see more love for the minors. And saying that they are lacking vehicles. Just shows that you haven't done any research. And no. A simple copy past/reskin vehicle isn't enough.
Where the sturmtiger
cant wait for this one to be horribly unbalanced. you can already guarantee this is gonna be at a way too low br
Ofc, not only is it an "armored car" as some other guy described it, it's also German "armored car", so BR <2.7 guaranteed
What rank will it be? 3 would be nice!
Sd.Kfz.251/22, tank destroyer, Germany, rank II, premium
If you scroll down for half a second you will see it literally says all that in big, noticeable orange letters.
I want this almost as much as I crave female company.
"Your account level in War Thunder is inversely proportional to the amount of female attention you receive"
Only one can dream
Will be finally be able to complete the tasks in Simulation (both EC and Tank) after 2 seasons? The 3rd one is always the good one :/
will we be able to*
onebullet95SPAIN, except the 3rd one is ending soon, this is for the 4th one
Consider the fact you allowed the Pz IV G to go down to 3.3, i would say this thing will be at 2.7 or 2.0 because it is German and it should not be at higher BR than weaker vehicles, after all that is how Gaijin balancing his game...
While I'm happy to see this added, it absolutely should NOT be a time-limited unlock. In a few months, no one will ever be able to unlock this again, and that's awful.
Honestly this made my day. Even though Im short on cash atm. I would love to get this thing, because it was one of the first military vehicles of the past I was in. It was the exact same configuration. Thank you for this nostalgia Snail, you guys are awesome <3
