- For the Steel Division: Normandy 44 unit see SD:AEC Mk.3
AEC Mk.3 is a British Recon unit in Steel Division II.
Background[ | ]
A heavy, 13-ton armoured car built by the British Associated Equipment Company. Carrying nearly double the armour of the standard British Daimler scout car, the AEC Mark III was equipped with a turret-mounted QF 75mm main gun, supplemented by a single machinegun. Two AEC Mk.3 served in the Armored Car Regiments' Heavy troops. One Heavy troop served in each Armored Car squadron.
Four Cavalry Regiments served as Armored Car Regiments 2 Household Cavalry, Inns of Court Regiment, 11th Hussars and Royal Dragoons. These were planed to serve as Corps troops but was reassigned to the Armored Divisions to serve as the reconnaissance element since the armoured reconnaissance regiments was not practical.
