APC or Cartel Truck?

Is there somewhere i can see exact stats of vehicles and units? like how much armor, what type of armor...

I need something to deploy troops and take over buildings + refill ammo for ATGM rockets but i'm not sure which ones is the best... APC? Truck? Stryker?

Using these instructions, you can find out the characteristics of equipment and weapons, and even more, change them if necessary.

When you're traversing the campaign map pretty sure.

I'd always go for APC over cartel truck tbh - having no mounted gun is a no-go. The cartel truck allows shooting of infantery out of the "window" though (but that's broad-side only, can't compete with a mounted gun.

APC does not have smoke so here's that.

I use stryker or bradley for smokes plus armoured carrier trailer for refilling ammo since it got 5k ammo in it and is rather durable and angry with all them turret/mg/soldiers shooting from the inside. With main tractor it's fast to redeploy wherever it's needed, especially if you have driver with speed perk in it and speed upgrade installed, and with dozer pulling it and toughing out rockets it's rather survivable.

You asked about stats it shows them on the map when you're moving your army.

I'm confused on how thats confusing.

Stryker is good in theory - but it's always the first one going up in flames for me. I that's why I use the APC more often. Guess I've no luck with the Stryker. (love the idea of automated gun + embrasures though)

Huh? Where? So far I haven't seen armor values ingame (not even in the encyclopedia)

In terms of stats, OP asked about exact values for armor.

Stryker is classified as a car in the game files, so it has weaker armor than APC that is classified as a tank. For me it's also paper thin and loves to burn.

This is very odd to me. Isnt the M113 supposed to have "weaker" armor than the stryker irl? The APCs armor is supposed to be an aluminium alloy while the strykers armor is some kind of steel. Im far from an expert though, would be interesting to hear why the devs classified the stryker as a car

stryker is most likely classified as a car by the devs because it has wheels.

Make the occasional mod with men of war/etc.. and they do the same.. but its tagged as armoredcar so you might be right. However they have shielding/etc to make it tough still.
