The Logistics variant gives up some passenger carrying capacity in order to carry more supplies for FOBs. For more information, see the "Loading and Unloading Supplies" section of Logistic System.
Gameplay[ | ]
- The crew has no protection and as such, is extremely exposed.
- The HX60 has no armament at all. The vehicle must be protected by infantry or fire support vehicles, or simply kept away from enemy controlled areas.
- The HX60 has almost non-existent armor, and can be quickly destroyed by .50 cal ammunition and RPG-7 fire. Even small arms fire can disable the engine and destroy the tires relatively easily. Keep this vehicle out of danger if at all possible.
