75AC, Porteěs and Digging In

[Juiceman]

New to PG but to me a truck stops being an infantry transport as soon as it becomes a Portee or Gun Motor Carriage and with that change comes all the benefits of being a mobile gun platform, an unarmored one at that.
 
The purpose of digging-in a Portee is to reduce its silhouette, protect the unarmored portions of the vehicle from shell fragments and small arms fire.  It could be debated how much protection to the crew a dug-in Portee could offer since they are exposed just like a normal gun crew would be.
 
In game terms the Portee should only be allowed to start the game dug-in, never to be allowed to dig in during the game, there is too much vehicle and too little time to dig in with a shovel.  If it starts dug in there should be a chance for it to mire, it is a truck after all, if it tries to move out of its dug in position especially in bad weather or muddy scenarios.
 
Exact pictures of Portee's dug in are hard to find, attached are a few examples of like vehicles that are in an improved position.
