Okay if the Jerries have little in the back other than mortars - but ... unfortunately they tend to have a fair helping of Flak and Pak as well. Even a couple of humble AAMGs will rip those little speedy guys apart.
And so, experiment conclusion is - just don’t do it!

Lol yeah, one thing I learned from all the games I've played is that putting an MG on a truck just makes it worse because it gives you false confidence, a 'noob trap' as people call them. The -one- point difference between it and the normal truck doesn't make much difference but it makes you have to commit a unit that'd otherwise retreat unmolested into combat to make it worth its while compared to the unarmed variant.
