			The OT-64 "Sredni Kolowy Opancerzony Transporter" (wheeled armored squad transport) was a joint venture between Poland and Czechoslovakia to develop an 'indigenous' APC for their armies. The Czechs developed engine, transmission and chassis and Poland equipped those with armour, weapons and electronics/NBC equipment.

	~~Unfortunately~~, ~~Battlefront has based~~ the OT-64 on the [[BTR-60]] ~~in stats~~. ~~Refer~~ to that ~~page~~ for an in-depth ~~guide~~ to ~~using a cheap, glass cannon which basically comes free with your infantry~~.		The OT-64 is an alternative transport option for [[BTR-60]] mounted infantry in the Czech and Polish forces, as the OT-64 and SKOT-2 respectively. Unfortunately, Team Yankee considers the SKOT as a visually different [[BTR-60]]. refer to that article for a more in-depth analysis on how (not) to use them.
			The main points are :
	The lack of armour on the sides and the top mean that this vehicle will die if anything dares sneeze at it, while the 14.5mm machine gun's AT 5 lets it threaten artillery pieces, transports and other lightly armoured units. It won't be outgunning IFVs, but they perform an uncannily similar role for a cheap price.		*The lack of armour on the sides and the top mean that this vehicle will die if anything dares sneeze at it, while the 14.5mm machine gun's AT 5 lets it threaten artillery pieces, transports and other lightly armoured units.

			*Interestingly, the OT-64 has a terrain dash of 12" and a cross-country dash of 18". This may not look important, but 2" can be the difference between boxing enemy units in or getting in range of the objective. Remember: these things are SUICIDE units, first and foremost. Tossed en-masse, they prevent your opponents from driving through open terrain or bum-rushing objectives and light vehicles.

This is less important though, as any decent PACT commander knows better than to drive their parking lot through a forest and leave half their force broken down.

As mentioned above the OT-64 SKOT was a joint venture by Czechoslovakia and Poland to replace the ageing OT-810, itself a clone of the German Sd.Kfz.251 half-track from WWII vintage. What they came up with was broadly similar to the Soviet [[BTR-60]], but unlike the Soviets who focussed on cheapness and ease of mass-production, the Czech-Polish design was more suited to their needs. With diesel engines, fully enncloseable NBC protection, NVD's and capacity for amphibious assault while still-being air-transportable, the SKOT emulated some of the best western APC's that didn't force people to crawl into the vehicle at the exposed sides. Even though they were quickly superceded by the superb [[BMP\|BMP-1]] operationally, the SKOT continued to be used well after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The Czechs only replaced them in 2006, while the Poles still use them as support and command vehicles.
