    It's all in the barrel. Still, quite difficult to tell until it fires.

    Wheels are a dead giveaway. not hard to seperate, but they're too long in general. A breeze to fight when you get to their sides.


    The AFV should lose about 20% of it's butt (doesn't have the same carry capacity anyhow)

    But is it a worthwhile idea or not?

    Yeah wheels are easiest way to tell. Anoying as comm though as sometimes I have to rotate/zoom to see.

    Wouldn't six wheels be enough for the AFV?

    Yeah, somehow I always see it described as AFV even if it is an APC in the comm interface!

    As commander you get the text which tells is the vehicle AFV or APC even I think the picture is same for both currently.

    you know when I look at them I know there's a difference but I still can't for the life of me tell you which one is which.

    APC has LESS armour, right?

    Yep. The AFV has those armor-thingy in front of the wheels.

    You know... I didn't even know there was a difference...
    It has always been I drive up to something, if it shoots me with a cannon then its an afv, if its shoots a chain gun its an apc.

    I've always looked at the wheels to tell them apart. Other than the wheels, there's no easily noticable differences

    Heh, the AFV wasn't originally planned. BE did not have a Light tank equivalent until late in development.

    What duke did was reuse the APC model and stick some tracks under it. Works quite well. It shouldn't matter too much as mediums should be a priority for BE.
