Yeah that's what I mean, they would use broad terms for everything. Then again according to the oh so reliable wikis, Germans commonly referred to their half-tracks as Hanomags, the manufacturer being Hanomag.
Speaking of half-tracks, how viable would it be to keep using them in large numbers well after WWII and even today?
Actually fuck it, I forgot this is IDT
I thougt APCs fell under our jurisdiction? Any who I personally don't think so because, as is the case with most things, logistics would be bad. You'd need separate parts for the tracks and the bare wheels when either a tracked or wheeled APC would do you much better.
