Armored Personnel Carrier Discussion Page
With the recent infantry testing, I’m opening up a discussion on troop carriers and APCs (Armoured Personnel Carriers) and the role they could play in infantry mode. An APC is designed to transport infantry safely across the battlefield, offering protection from small arms fire and helping squads move quickly between objectives, frontlines, or cover. Some also provide fire support, while others focus purely on mobility and protection.
We already have a number of vehicles in-game that could fit this role, while many others are not yet represented. APCs vary widely some are lightly armed or even unarmed, acting strictly as transport, while others can go toe-to-toe with lighter armored vehicles thanks to autocannons, heavy machine guns, or additional systems. They can range from armored trucks and half-tracks to fully tracked vehicles, and even tanks modified into troop carriers.
Examples could include:
Half-tracks and early armored transports for WWII-era gameplay
Dedicated APCs like the M113 or BTR series
Heavier IFV-style vehicles with lots of protection (depending on era)
Improvised or modified carriers in certain conflicts
What they could bring to infantry mode:
Squad mobility - faster deployment and repositioning
Mobile cover - using vehicles as protection during advances
Spawn or reinforcement points (if balanced properly)
Light fire support depending on armament
Teamplay opportunities between drivers and infantry squads
Balance would be key APCs shouldn’t replace tanks or dominate combat, but instead act as support and transport tools that reward coordination and positioning.
- YES ✅

- I have something to say → in chat
Curious to hear what others think should APCs be more focused on transport or combat, and what kinds of vehicles would you want to see included?
