	The VAB ~~is the APC of the French Army and~~ plays as a hybrid between an M113 and a BTR. It carries up to 3 passengers and has amphibious. Unlike the British and West German APCs, this one can actually penetrate soft skinned armor with its M2 Browning! Frontal armour two means that heavy machine guns and NATO autocannons will actually have some trouble getting through: not that they're immune, but it will take more shots to destroy one VAB. The VAB is also incredibly vulnerable to artillery, with top armor 0. Consider it a blessing if your VABs are targeted by artillery though: that's one less salvo directed at your infantry.

	Interestingly, the VAB has infrared... but only on the Milan when mounted. After all, why would machine gunners need to see where they're shooting?		Interestingly, the VAB has infrared... but only on the Milan when mounted. After all, why would machine gunners need to see where they're shooting?

	As always, use your VABs as suicide units to block passage for enemy units, protecting ~~objective~~, charging at vulnerable vehicles or other menial tasks you don't want to waste combat troops on (after dismounting of course). In Team Yankee, APCs are far less important than the men they carry.
