Vehicle description
Wargaming Tankopedia
A wheeled armored vehicle developed on the basis of the AEC Matador 0853 truck which became the heaviest British armored vehicle produced on a large scale. From 1941 to 1943, a total of 629 vehicles in various modifications were built.
The AEC Armoured Car was in service until 1977, and its combat weight, armor thickness, and relatively powerful armament meant it could be talked about as a wheeled tank.
