For me it depends on the vehicle, if its a plastic kit then no it doesnt need it, same with resin usually as the go together nice and solidly. Resin/ metal hybrids and full metal vehicles I will base especially if the wheels and axels are seperate from the rest of the model like Perry and Blitzkrieg ones are.

I tend to base my 6mm vehicles regardless as its easier to see them and pick them up.

as for what I base then on for my BA LRDG force the jeeps were put on 60mm mdf circles and the trucks are on old shop loyalty/ rewards and promo cards suitably scratched up.

my 6mm stuff I found that for bigger vehicles then the little keyfob reward cards are good, for smaller stuff then I use mdf or plastic (the thin ones you get from perry or GB, not the slotta type ones) 25mm square bases
