1. Load them into a soft vehicle

Vulnerable to every type of fire, but if the vehicle does get hit, even by artillery, direct fire HE or AP round, chances are the passengers will only suffer one casualty.

2. Load them into an APC

Immune to small arms and shrapnel, but if the APC gets a direct hit from artillery, HE, or an AP round, chances are all the passengers will be lost.

It just seems like a large disparity - for losses - between a KO soft vehicle and a KO APC.

For campaign players, it seems to make more sense to carry valuble units around in soft vehicles.

Maybe losses need to be higher for softies?

lets think a bit, when on truck, you have plenty of options to bail out, not a single door that can get blocked, so, when in a burning apc, it may be harder to bail out than to hop out off a truck i think
