History:
Introduced in 1914, the French Armoured Car Modele 1914 served as a mobile fire support platform in the early years of WWI. Its light armour provided protection against small arms fire, while its mobility allowed it to operate ahead of infantry formations. Often armed with machine guns or small-calibre cannons, it was used extensively for patrol, reconnaissance, and rapid response missions. Despite its limitations in rough terrain, the Modele 1914 marked an important step in the evolution of armoured vehicle design.
