I’ve always been a little irked by every transport vehicle being called an APC. Only a few of these vehicles are actually armored personnel carriers. This class contains both basic trucks and actually armored vehicles like halftracks.
I think it is better that this vehicle class’ name is changed to Transport Vehicle as it covers both groups in this family. It’s more fitting
When you destroy an enemy truck you don’t get an “APC” destroyed, you get Transport destroyed. When you destroy one of the few halftrack transports it’s a Transport. They are Transport Vehicles

i believe you are looking for the " motorized " definition.
more than transport.
because the Sdkfz 251/9 isn’t really a transport.
nor the american buffalo thingy.
but…
even though APC is more for a broader term, it was a tag given to said vehicles.
to kinda hint at what you just destroyed. ( mostly for newer players i assume )
EDIT:
mh… not sure about " motorized " either

Just like many of the ‘tanks’ in the game are tank destroyers, spg, spaa ect ect. Or many of the attackers are bombers or fighters are interceptors ect ect. The game is far more vague on its vehicles. Unlike infantry there are far fewer categories to go around this overgeneralization. Apc did not exist as a term just like assault rifle, battle rifle, cqc weapons ect ect.

But not every “APC” is motorized, some are mechanized. That’s why Transport is perfect because it’s just their job.
I still believe they should change the 251/9 to “tank”
even though the word apc isnt really accurate, its quick to type out in chat and it gets the idea acrossed
