Whats your opinion on experimental gear in MBT?

What about the M113 mounting Hellfire missiles, or the M1A4 Abrams with the 140mm gun? Im not sure if the game can model a guided tank gun round with a 8000 meter range though!

Also saw a picture of a M113 with a Russian turret mounting a 100mm gun, 30mm gun, and all the other Russian goodies plus extra armor to stop HEAT rounds! It was titled "Russian can do!" on a M113 site. I'll go back to look it up and post it here or at least get the pic.

They also had an early version of the Avenger with the rocket pods.

As promised, a M113 with Russian turret. This is no joke!

Not quite, I guess you could call it this way, the base is the Turkish FNSS TIFV, fitted with the Baschka-U evolved BMP-3 turret, which has been presented at IDEX 2005, apparently targetting the UAE market. Now everyone has to walk hand in hand to conquer the global markets of 'land systems'!

When I read your post I half awaited some M-113A1 retrofitted with a BRDM2 turret or something like that!
