message: I've updated some details on the 234 variants, and moved the 263 up to group it with the 232/233 models rather than keeping it in numeric order, as it makes more sense this way. --70.24.167.163 05:28, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: The 263 was developed before the 233 and 234 variants and used the same chassis as the 231 series.  Understandable move, though I'm pretty neutral either way. Oberiko 14:26, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: The spot under armament suggests the use of APDS ... can this be confirmed?  I was under the impression that the Axis never developed APDS and relied on APCR rounds in the enhanced kinetic slot... 62.196.17.197 (talk) 09:15, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

message: "front armour in July 1942.
; Sd. Kfz. 231
This was the standard reconnaissance variant built from 1937 to 1941. From July 1941, any need for a 231 was fulfilled by producing a 232 without the additional radio equipment. The official name was Schwerer Panzerspähwagen Sd. Kfz. 231 (8-rad).
; Sd. Kfz. 232
The Sd. Kfz. 232 (8-Rad), which was produced from 1938 to 1943, was a 231 with additional medium range radio sets and a large frame aerial. From 1942, a small Sternantenne ('star aerial') replaced the frame aerial, a modification retrofitted to older models. The official name was Schwerer Panzerspähwagen (Fu) Sd. Kfz. 232 (8-rad)."
So after 1941 any 231s were just 232s built without radio equipment. But a 232 is just a 231 with extra radios added. So what exactly is the difference? Did they build 232s with the frame antenna but no actual radios instead of building different types? Or is there more to making a 232 than adding radios? Does it apply to having the brackets, etc included where the radios would go, but they simply don't install them in vehicles that don't require them?  Idumea47b (talk) 02:12, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Different chassis for 231/232 up to 1941, unified chassis from 1942 on (production series 4+). Very likely the later versions had provisions to use the space of the long range radio set for additional ammo. Attachment points and internal cabling for external antennas was likely present as well.--Denniss (talk) 03:17, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
