Infantry Vehicles

[markppcli]

As far as I know the Americans only use it in their MP units.

With some different design choices, ie no 500 lb tire and crane assemblies ontop and off axis.

Square peg, meet round hole.

The LAV is not a good RCAC vehicle. We don't need to carry a section of dismounts, we need firepower, armour and mobility. Adding room for 8 dudes lessens all 3 of those. We use the LAV as a crutch in the RCAC since we're so low on turreted platforms however that doesn't mean we want them. What we want is tanks and an actual cavalry vehicle, not a glorified APC with a 25mm that cannot deal with anything heavier than a BMP.

We'd be better off replacing all the RCAC LAVs in the medium context (minus LAVs for the new assault troop programme) with something like a Jaguar, Booker, M3 Bradley, etc.

Tldr: room for a section is a waste of room in any RCAC vehicle that would be better served for ammo and armour.

Overrated, maybe if he was a cavalryman he wouldn't have lost to Monty lol.

Montrose enters the chat

"He either fears his fate too much,
Or his desserts are small,
Who dares not put it to the touch,
To win or lose it all."

Speaking of over rated. El Alamein was the battle only Monty could have lost.

How did Market Garden work out for him?
