Designer's Notes and Description of Roles
--- -- The Support APC is twice as heavy as the Heavy APC with an identical infantry capacity, but changes things up by adding half a ton of cargo Capacity for each ton of infantry capacity as well as additional ton for miscellaneous gear. This specialized APC is designed to be mixed into groups of standard APCs to carry and assist Combat Engineers, or carry extra equipment for establishing fortifications.
--- -- The Assault APC is thirty tons heavier than a Heavy APC, but features modestly better armor, heavier armament and most importantly quadruple the infantry capacity of a Heavy APC. This allows a more efficient Infantry Tonnage to APC ratio, thus allowing a commander to pack more APC supported Infantry into a Dropship of similar tonnage. They could also be converted to carry cargo in a pinch.
