-The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the second production model of the [[Sd.Kfz.234 (Family)|Sd.Kfz.234]] after the [[Sd.Kfz.234/2]] and was a heavily armoured car reconnaissance vehicle with a simple open-top turret providing a 20 mm autocannon next to an MG42 machine gun to deal with infantry and light combat vehicles. The Sd.Kfz 234 series were primarily built as a further improvement to Germany's reconnaissance vehicles after learning of the effectiveness of said type of vehicle with combat reports of the Sd.Kfz. series 231/232/233.
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''' was the second production model of the [[Sd.Kfz.234 (Family)|Sd.Kfz.234]], following the [[Sd.Kfz.234/2]]. It was a heavily armoured reconnaissance vehicle with a simple open-top turret housing a 20 mm autocannon alongside an MG42 machine gun, designed to combat infantry and light combat vehicles. From mid-1944 to early 1945, about 230 vehicles of this modification were produced, which went into service with reconnaissance battalions.
-It was introduced during [[Update 1.97 "Viking Fury"]] as a reward for the [[wt:en/news/6669-special-space-race-en|"Space Race" event]]. The Sd.Kfz.234/1 combines the familiar chassis of the [[Sd.Kfz.234/2]] with the turret of the [[Sd.Kfz. 140/1]]. While not as heavily armoured as the latter, the mobility presented by the former's chassis gives the Sd.Kfz.234/1 excellent map manoeuvrability to utilise the 20 mm autocannon against unsuspecting opponents.
