装甲输送车被正式用作输送一个步兵班的“战场出租车”,将6～8人的突击分队在下车徒步作战之前运送到尽可能靠近目的地。通常装有1挺枢轴安装的7.62mm或12.7mm机枪的装甲输送车只能提供有限的火力支援。其装甲防护证明只能防御轻兵器火力和弹片的攻击,因而搭载步兵一旦下车,装甲输送车就必须寻求掩体。 Armored vehicles were formally used as “battlefield cabs” for transporting an infantry squad, transporting as many as 6 to 8 assault units as close to their destination as possible before getting off their hikes. Armored vehicles, usually equipped with a pivot-mounted 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun, provide only limited fire support. Its armor protection proves to be only capable of defending the attack of light weapons and shrapnel, so armored vehicles must seek bunkers once they have been dropped.
