do halfs carry troops similar to trucks?

Also can some inf ride on tanks,I had some do this in a scenario where a unit was a mix of tanks and inf . no half track or other vehicles, and it moved like mobile not foot?

Not sure if inf can ride on tanks. They can on halftracks. Halftracks also give u 1000 landcap and have a good recon value. They can also take more damage than trucks.

Tanks have a Carry capacity of 5 and it appears they can carry troops. I've had 20 infantry, 1 halftrack and 2 mortars in a unit and still been 'tracked' as movement type.

tanks can definitely carry 5 infantry.

thanks

Giving your tanks a some infantry up to there carry weight is a must imo. Just be sure not to exceed the carry limit so you dont hamper your movement speed.

do scouts and staff (and anything else) count as infantry?

yes. but each unit have a weight and each unit have a carry weight.
 
Normal rifle and SMG and Scouts weight 1. So a tank that have 5 carry weight can carry 5 of those.
 
Im not sure how much staff weight. But i guess its also 1.
Otherwise then that all infantry can get a ride from stuff with carry weight be it morters, machine gun, bazooka etc.
I even think you can tow infantry and AT guns with a pure tank only unit.

I'm thinking most people already know this, but on the production screen right next to the select button (for unit type) is a '?' button. Click this button to see both the weight and carry values (along with most other relevant statistics). All of this information is readily available within these information screens.
