Bold statement.
Did you know, theoreticly speaking, that’s true for the Sd.Kfz. 7 as well.
Only difference is, this thing is both armed and armoured, whilst the Sd.Kfz. 7 isn’t.
So, what’s the problem…?
Oh, and that the UC isn’t and never was an APC, that was never its intended role, nor is it even capable of being one. It was a armoured utility vehicle, ferrying ammunition, gear, messages, artillery pieces, select very important people or wounded in and out of hotly contested zones. It was amazing, at this very specific thing, yes, but it’s not an never was and APC.
You’re not squeezing a section of mounted infantry in the back of a UC, the few that could fit in were either not protected (carrying four passengers), or only carrying two taking cover (and it’s going to be one hell of a bumpy ride with no dedicated seating in the back). There’s not even a way for them to dismount that wouldn’t leave the troops vulnerable to small arms fire (in the Sd.Kfz. 251 there’s a door in the back for example, standard for almost all APCs).
Face it, if the T20 isn’t an “APC” in your mind, which at least has dedicated seating for 6 passengers, then the UC isn’t either.
