Manual to be Updated

[ComradeP]

Technically, the unit doesn't have vehicles in the sense of physically present vehicles.

It has a foot state and a state for the movement type used by its transport.

It doesn't switch from "Men" to "Vehicles" or from "Guns" to "Vehicles".

In order to regain the ability to switch to its transport state, it has to end and start its turn in a hex with its HQ (an actual HQ unit, not a "stab" or "headquarters" combat unit).

In the case of that PzG unit, its movement type switches to Hard Halftrack in T-mode, which makes it a hard target and gives it the movement characteristics displayed in the parameter data dialog for hard halftrack movement.

That is, however, the only thing that changes. Other values, like the defense and attack values, are modified due to being in T-mode, but not changed to a different base value. The defence value of the unit doesn't change to 3, for example, which it would if the unit would actually transform into a halftrack unit when in T-mode.

Because of the values only being modified, units composed of men, and some gun units, have higher defense values in mechanized T-mode than the vehicles they're mounted in have as actual units.

As trucks have a defence value of 10, motorized units in T-mode have a lower defence value than their transport vehicles have as units.
