5 Cavalerie Motorizata

 is a Romanian Mechanized division in Steel Division II: Black Sunday. The 5 Cavalerie Mot. had been earmarked for conversion into an armored division, a process that ultimately never materialized due to the poor state of Romania’s armament industry. Instead, it fought alongside the German StuG-Brigade 325 as a traditional cavalry division, aiming to keep Iasi from falling to the Soviets. While the formation had to retreat, it escaped complete destruction.

The 5. Cavalerie Mot. features a variety of light armored recon vehicles: from pre-war AH.IV (R1) and Czech tanks to Italian AB-41s and German Sd.Kfz. 222s. With a powerful infantry component and reconnaissance force, this division lacks tanks and only has medium artillery at its disposal. Romanian pilots bring the renowned Hs-129 tank-killer as air support.

The 5. Cavalerie Mot. is an infantry-centric force, nimble on the battlefield thanks to its armored recon troops.
