Storage & Transport
The Staff Car cannot be stored in a Storage Depot, Seaport or Storage Ship. It cannot be packaged or transported by another vehicle. As such, it must be driven to its destination, regardless of where it is. The Crates of Staff Car produced by Mass Production Factories can be packaged and transported by any Shipping Vehicle then submitted to a Storage Depot or Seaport to be stored and unpacked.
Tactics
The Staff Car, much like most LUVs, are not directly designed for frontline combat, and instead are to act as a support vehicle for frontline troops. This can be done by ferrying troops to a destination, or running various supplies to the front.
Due to not having any armament, it is of utmost importance to not get into range of enemy fire, especially those with AT weaponry (such as handheld AT equipment, or vehicles with AP or explosive rounds). Doing so will greatly increase the chance of the vehicle getting disabled, or outright destroyed.
Trivia
The base speed of the Staff Car is faster than the UV-05a “Argonaut”, which is currently the fastest LUV in the game.
The Staff Car possesses dilapidated white Warden combat identification marks regardless of the faction to manufacture it. These markings aren't present on "prop" staff-cars found within major cities, implying that the Staff Cars originated from an emergency mobilization of civilian infrastructure.
