Sd.Kfz.234/3 was produced between the months of June 1944 and December 1944. It was equipped with the good old support infantry gun: the 7.5cm KwK51 L/24 as used by Pz IVs ausf E. Exteriorly very reassembling with the Sd.Kfz. 233 except for the shape of the mudguards and having the 233 a higher superstructure.
The engines for these vehicles evolved from the first versions used in the 231, 232 - a 150 HP 7913 cc 8 cylinder Büssing-NAG L8V, and later a 180 HP 8363 cc 8 cylinder engine, moving up to a 220 HP 12 cylinder Tatra 103 engine.
Based on the 234/3, manufacture of the posterior Sd.Kfz.234/4 began immediately after the production of the 234/3 was halted. It was able to provide anti-tank fire, though the relatively large size of the Pak 40 made it necessary to eliminate the reverse driving position, something that had always been present in the other 234 vehicle series.
A total of 88 Sd.Kfz.234/3 vehicles were built until production ceased on December 1944.
On recon companies, six vehicles formed the 4th heavy platoon. Those six were either the new Sd.Kfz. 234/3 or the old Sd.Kfz. 233. In combat, the fourth platoon was deployed immediately behind the other lighter platoons (each of them formed by 6 Sd.Kfz.234/1 respectively), giving cover, and advancing in bounds to keep in touch with the advanced light elements.
