The term "heavy armoured reconnaissance vehicle" refers specifically to six- and eight-wheeled armored cars used by Germany during World War II. In the German Army, armored cars were designed for traditional cavalry missions like reconnaissance and screening. These vehicles scouted ahead of advancing mechanized units, assessing enemy location, strength, and intentions. Their primary mission was reconnaissance, but they would also engage similar or light enemy units and occasionally attempt to capture enemy patrols.
