221 is turreted reeeeeeeee.
In all seriousness that seems to help with flanking and hunting down infantry though, and it has much better utility later, bringing in more resources and all that. Also, 1v1 vehicle vs vehicle dps battle tests aren't a great indicator of how good a vehicle is either, because it leaves out all other potential factors. By that metric the stug is a god among medium tanks lol (if medium tank is defined as tanks that die in 4 hits/have 640hp or whatever).
What's the point of turret if 221 can not out run M3? Stug will lose to T34 because T34 could out run Stug.
221 is not 223, it can not secure resource or detect vehicles, it can
only dispatch medic. And the problem here is OKW's starting unit could dispatch medic, too.
If you want to count other
potential factors. What could be more deadly to retreating squad? A M3 with a squad of flame thrower CE or a 221? And a M3 with a squad of PTRS penal or Guard could be deadly to Ost's Halftrack, too.
A question here: If you are a SOV player and relic plan to increase M3's price by 15 fuel and remove its ability to transport infantry in exchange of the ability of dispatching medic, will you be OK with that?
