General Information
The Auto Blinda 41 Armoured Car was designed in 1940, manufactured by Fiat-Ansaldo based on the existing 4 x 4 drive Armoured Car and was in use from 1941 to 1943.

The vehicle was powered by Fiat 'SPA I6 petrol' petrol powerplant producing 120 HP which could drive the vehicle on roads at up to 47 mph with a range of about 250 miles before refuelling. Its cross country performance was good providing a max speed of about 23 mph and a range of about 112 miles.

It was armed with 2 light machine guns which were Breda Modello 38s. Its main armament consisted of an Cannone-Mitragliera da 20/65 modello 35 (Breda) which could penetrate 13 mm of flat plate at 400 metres



This was an upgraded Auto Blinda 41 and armed with the Breda mod. 20mm 35 autocannon.

Hit Probability(%) 98 98 98 88

Hit probability is based on a static 2 x 2.4 metre panel at 0 degrees(vertical) at the range specified.

The data that has been used to create these records has come from Wikipedia, The Lone Sentry, The Bundes Archive and numerous books and websites that have provided the detailed information that has not been available anywhere else. The information we use to calculate the penetration tables, flight times and the hit probability comes from the Gun Calibre, the Shell Mass(Kg) and the muzzle velocity, plus range reductions to allow for gravity and wind resistance. This calculation originally came from a pre-war Krupp calculation which has been modified, and seems to fit the actual test results.
