Unless the GM is a big ol' softy, the players are probably not privy to this info.

In it's basic models it has reasonable firepower with 14.5mm KPV and smaller coax - in newer models this can be anything up to a light autocannon and potentially missiles. Protection is limited to small arms and shrapnel, but it's doubtful many PC groups are going to want to try the full frontal assault option very often. It's also able to be driven by almost anyone - you can drive a car, chances are you can drive the BTR (ie don't need TVD skill).
Those are the positives. On the negative side, your BTR is vulnerable to RPGs, LAWs, HEDP grenades, and most types of HMG rounds, not to mention tank shells and autocannons.
