Potion Re: APC Development and related topics.

Mobility is often described as a force multiplier, in fact, so much so that it is doctrine. I think, either in the Air or on Land, soldiers and Marines will ride in something to the battle and the better for them too, as speed, agility, we're still talking mobility, will multiply on force effectiveness to identify, close, engage, and defeat the opposition. That is the mission of an infantry unit, be it light or heavy, Marine or Army.

Yes, and the Marines are light infantry, and admittedly so, but today, they ride, not walk. Since the early fights on the plains in the ole West, forts or what we call Patrol Bases today (PBs) are ubiquitous.

So, that and for other reasons, I argue for the IFV in our game to deliver Opfires and reaction fires at ranges of 1km. As the MBT becomes increasingly expensive and limited in MOUT operations, and as the thread of armor forces of equitable strengths ever engaging diminish, the need for an infantry fire suppression vehicle rises.

So, lets have a better modeled AFV/IFV in winspMBT. Here, here and what say you?
