Way too many people greatly overestimate 222 capabilities...
If it had correct scale we wouldn't have this problem.
With its current scale, people tend to believe it was actually armored or well armed compared to allied heavy armored cars, while in fact it was barely any bigger then soviet M3.
At the end, wrong scale makes people think it was some kind of light tank.
Earlier versions' armour was about the same as the M3A1's 12mm's, but there was a version after 1942 with 30mm of frontal armour which was more than M20's, so I think there's historical precedence for it at best.
I don't really care what they do with the thing's entire concept though.
