Default Re: AIFV costs, should them be lowered or not?

All vehicles use the same points calculation.

If you hang gee-whiz tech off a vehicle, it is going to cost more points, whether it is a tank or an APC/MICV.

The MICV really only makes sense from a dollar value (e.g USA and West can afford umpty-squillion dollars which was a realtivly small amount of their GDP, the FUSSR less so, and it finally bankrupted itself by diverting an economically damaging amount of its GDP to the "cold war poker game").

But points values are a measure of game fighting capacity for one particular engagement and are entirely divorced from the pool of cash the parent nation has to play with, as the points system is designed to provide play balance in single battles for the game.
