Vehicles can use sustained fire but not FPF.
Anyone ever purchase the PSW 222 in Red Barricades?

I don’t know what the good campaign would be to really get a lot of use out of these or the Pumas. They are fun in the scenarios that have them.

NRBH, but only MG MA? Found it, A9.3. Also, per A8.3, IFE can use Sustained Fire.

Use the PSW 222's for their firepower if you are really concerned about HIP OBA Observers, Mortar spotters, and MG nests on the rooftops. They can go through wire, gullies, hedges, and entrenchments to strip a lot of infantry concealment (presummably ahead of an infantry attack). In these cases keep them in motion, don't bunch them up, and away from known AT guns that are not otherwise occupied. VBM Sleaze vs. poorly placed or poorly supported MG nests in buildings or pillboxes.
They do have potentially endless mobile (dispersed) smoke discharger capability, which the halftracks lack. Not sure if vehicle smoke is used as much as it could be.
As with any blitzkrieg weapon/strategy, these have to wait for the appearance of a breakthrough. This blitzkreig will be more of a low budget version. Mostly a mid-game weapon, I think.
Otherwise, keep them offboard until you need them.

I bought some once for a very specific attack. I started the day adjacent to a factory, but the road had no TEM. Piled them up with a bunch of assault engineers and flamethrowers. First Prep Fire Phase they added to a wall of firepower against the factory while providing a hindrance for any broken infantry needing to rout.
After that, they didn’t do much. Stayed away from AT guns, dueling with upper level machine gun nests. One immobilized with a broken gun, and spent the next week failing to put on some new tires so they could recall while sitting there CE trying to attract sniper fire away from a better target.

I tried them.. they are actually usefull on the flanks.. as your opponent moves troops around they can strip concealment. Hence the reason they are recon vehicles. Just stay at 16 hex range and in motion,
Please note that the PSW 222 is a recee vehicle not a combat vehicle.. they are designed to get out of trouble twice as fast as they get into it..also their pop gun is just a morale device for the crew.. just enough fire power to force a enemy crew to button up.. so they can advance in the OTHER direction post haste

The trick is to attract some attention but not too much.
A good play if your opponent is distracted fairly easily, it could make him lose a little focus by annoying his rear troops...or it could activate some reserves
.
I could only see spending the points if Inf RGs were pretty much exhausted, or somehow you didn't need another coy. (it could happen I suppose)

)Do not need to attract attention.. in RB just find a long open street park at the end keep at 16 hex range.. as your opponenet moves across the street he losses concealment you check the stacks and know what is there or if they are dummies.. Works great for me... and since they are fast movers you can adjust quickly.The trick is to attract some attention but not too much.
