Wolfhound APC (Apocalypse)

While most road vehicles should be avoided, the APC is a nice vehicle to use for troop transport early on. It has enough equipment space and passenger slots to transport cargo and aliens while still carrying a respectable crew and it lets you save your air vehicles for combating alien ships.

Be careful using one of these for troop transport, though, because it only takes one stray shot from an enemy craft to take out the road under it, thus killing all of its passengers in the process. It's best only to use one of these when cityscape combat is not expected.
