I've added the 2 engineer vehicle unit classes to the protected passengers types so they will behave as APC. Unless front armour is 0 - then its still unprotected on the off-chance we have an engineer type APC with soft skin (unlikely!).
(Haven't tested it as yet, but the code change was 5 minutes work. I'll just need to put an engineer APC with passengers on the firing range and hose it down with HMG fire to check it works.)
Looking at the OOBs, engineer tanks already have 0 carry, and only "Engineer APC" i.e. those engineer tank types with a
carry capacity as well as a roller or blade equipment, do. We will still need to give the OOBS a thorough comb through.
Now those "Engineering APC" types will not have the pax behave as tank riders when under fire any more, so an engineer APC will be a good way to get some foot engineers forwards to aid the work.
Not added to WW2 as yet - but
may be if there are engineer APC types found there. We will have to troll the data there to check, but it looks like engineering APC are a post-war thing.
