M8 Armored Car

[Rendar]

I just saw a show on the History Channel about armored cars, and one of them was the WWII M8.  It has a fairly nice armament package, and is quite fast.  I was wondering if there is a chance it will be modelled in AH?

The Germans had an armored car with a 75mm cannon.  Here's a picture: http://www.mo-money.com/AFV-news/puma.htm

Now that would be a fun ride.

These would be fun too: (warning: slow page) http://www.history.enjoy.ru/ba6.html

Hmm M8 was junk,troops didn't much care for it, Sdkfz235 is nice, but 222 or 234 better,both have 20mm cannon with provision for 90 degrees elevation to engage aircraft.

Was that the one with eight wheels? If so, the Sdkfz 235 could be better than the M8.  BTW, the M8 is still better than the proposed M3 by a long shot.

sdkfz 222 4 wheels 20mm cannon,sdkfz 234 8 wheels 2 drivers compartments full gears in reverse(just as fast backwards as forwards) 20mm cannon,sdkfz 235 same as 234 with turret adapted to carry 50mm pak, M8 had max 3 man crew, not a good choice for field capture also M8 had 37mm gun, would terrorize an M16, but a pzkfwIV would laugh,once, before blowing it ta hell
