Although it hasn't received a single vote, I think a strong case could be made for the
OT-64/SKOT in a Poland (or Czechoslovakia) based campaign.
Pros:- Amphibious
- Diesel engine (more fuel efficient, and less combustible than gasoline)
- Large capacity (2+ 10-18 passengers, depending on model)
- Spare parts not uncommon
- Decent armament (KPV and PKT coax, or DShK)
- Thicker armor than BTR series
Like most wheeled APCs, the big cons are relatively thin armor, and less cross-country mobility than a tracked APC. Being mistaken for a PACT vehicle could be a pro or a con depending on where the vehicle is operating.
