This vehicle would act as a personnel carrier but for tanks

The British had the M19 tank transporter
A semi truck with a 45 ton trailer

The US had the M25 tank transporter
A flat face semi with a trailer also called the dragon wagon.

The Germans had the Faun L900
A flatbed truck with ability for flatbed trailer

The Russians had the Reo28XS
A semi truck with a trailer able to carry T34

The Japanese didn't think about that

The French had the Bernard heavy truck
A flatbed truck with foldable ramp

The Italians had the Autocarro Fiat V1
A truck with a bed able to hold the L6/40
If Italians are approaching?

Or medium tanks and below

This is really a big thing.

In normal trucks, they can be use in fast offensive and retreat.

Which means that tanks would also be able to do that if this is added.

There's also the case of of course of ambushes which would decimate the inside which can be a balance.

And as I said also the trucks can't carry heavy tanks or heavy spgs like the Hummel
So I agree but here's this also.

Also when the truck is destroyed will the tank on it be as well?
