SDKFZ 221/222 scout car: Worth the upgrade?

[Belisarius]

Is the 2cm autocannon worth the 55 munitions? Or is it better against inf with the standard MG-42?

the autocannon increases it's chance's on killing inf and light cars faster. Otherthen that, only ONE is needed and with good movement and micro you can use it to full effectiveness.

Well it starts with an MG-42. Then with the upgrade it gets an autocannon and an MG-34. It seems less effective versus infantry with the upgrade /: I'm not interested in using it to destroy vehicles, that's where the Paks or Stugs come in.

its more of an early game type of car. It's pretty weak and can die easily, but upgrading to the cannon can help deal with america jeeps if needed.

The upgrade increases effectiveness vs infantry, but its meant for increasing effectiveness vs light vehicles. It used to make it immensely weaker v. infantry, but it was patched and fixed a while back. Now it keeps its mg, and gets the autocannon. If your going to get the scout car, it almost always pays to upgun it.
