==Overview== A parallel development of the [[Dingo]], the Daimler Armored Car was one of the finest British fighting vehicle design of World War II. Incorporating many advanced solutions, including a fluid flywheel, preselector gearbox, and an H-drive arrangement with epicyclic gearing, giving it excellent maneuverability in the field, especially on steep inclines. It was lightly armored, up to 16mm on the front, and armed with a QF 2-pdr (40mm) gun and a coaxial BESA machinegun, in keeping with its intended role as a recon and liaison vehicle. Originally prototyped in 1939, the armored car entered service in 1941 due to issues with the gear box. A total of 2694 Daimler Armored Cars were produced. The design was innovative enough that it remained in service with the British Army and other Commonwealth nations well beyond the end of the war, into the 1960s. In real life [[Humber Mk.4 (UK)]] were used as the Armored Car for the 15th Reconnaissance Regiment. Daimler Armored Car entered service with 15th Reconnaissance Regiment on 6 March 1945
