What's your favorite APC overall. My favorite has to be the Stuart Recce. Only carries 6 people at a time, doesn't become available until much later on, doesn't have a gun shield for the machinegunner and costs a bit more but it's got good armour for an APC and at 39mph is much faster than the 251/1. Definately my prefered overall APC, especially after numerous nasty instances of seeing my 251's fall like flies to nests of AT rifle teams.

IF I still played cmBO, I would say the Canadian Kangaroo carrier would be my favorite. It was the first fully tracked APC, being made from converting the obsolete Ram tank chassis.

For cmBB, I think the APc are fairly similar for infantry transport, so I dont really have a favorite. I am partial to the SDK251/9. It is a support halftrack though, so it doesnt really apply if we are talking about pure infantry transport. I like its varied ammo loadout, providing an economical fire support weapon for infantry support.

Not to be nit picky, but are you talking based off of real life preformances or game preformance? i know no one here has any real life experienceses with any of these vehicles but we have all read plenty of first person accounts to make a good judgement call.

when it comes to scout vehicles im a kraut man all the way. i love the 250/9, which i affectionately call the "murder machine", and i love the Lynx. id be hard pressed to pick a favorite.

Your favorite APC in all 3 CM games overall.

Can you have inf ride in the 250/9? I think the only German halftracks in CM capable of carrying inf were the 251/1, 250/1 and the 251/10.
