Re: Interesting Site: Wheeled vs. Tracked AFV (US
I've read most of Mr. "Gavins" stuff. He views the M113 as the be all, end all uber APC and the Stryker as the Ford Pinto of APCs.
A rational person would acknowledge that there are inherent tradeoffs between wheeled and tracked designs such as:
Fuel Use (most accounts I've read show the Stryker getting ~3X the mileage of a M113)
Noise signature (Tracks are loud)
Off road ability (Tracks are inherently superior)
Yada Yada Yada
That said his site does have some interesting ideas for playing AFV Dr. Frankenstein with MOBHack.
