Default Re: Vehicle Weight "Issues"
It will mean the barges and LC will carry less of them is all really. Off I don't think there are any modern USMC scenarios involving LAV's

It's a difficult problem to deal with. Lift capacity is almost always the number of men but as soon as you put a 2 in front of that you can can carry that much vehicle weight and vehicle weight is in the most part abstracted and only rarely with an eye to how many a helicopter might be able to lift

Which LAV-25's have a weight of 10 ? All the ones I see are 18.
