I would like to suggest the addition of a Add on Armor modification to the Sd.Kfz.221 (S.Pz.B.41) in the German tree, like there already exist Track add on and other Armor package modifications for other vehicles.
Historically speaking the 10mm Vorpanzer / Zerschellerplatte (Spaced / Shatter Plate) was added in Serie 3. to the Sd.Kfz.221 as its frontal armor was still 8mm angled, to be proof against 7,92 mm S.m.K. ammo from 30m away. Unlike the increased base armor to 30mm of the 222, the 221 stayed at 8mm as such these Vorpanzer were added to the lower hull of the Vehicle to increase the frontal armor (with 50mm space) to 18mm making it proof against even 12,7mm S.m.K. ammo.
This will give immunity to 2/3ds of the hull front to normal MG fire, and some protection against HMGs.
