Re: APC Development and related topics.
I'm with Don here. We've been burned too many times by "what if" systems. One of WinSPMBTs major advantages over most tactical games is realistic TO&E data over a period of time. Sure lots of games have great data for a very limited period (the various WW III Fulda Gap games out there) but none covers WW II to present.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Ahh the M113 the tracked, sort of armored, version of the jeep.
I'd like to, but don't expect, the Army to keep the same versatile, mobile, simple, roomy (for it size) basic design. But no, they'll cross it with a Bradley thus making it unsuitable for vast number of useful variants that keep the M113 going.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
It is after all what I do, even if by accident!?! Sort of like the "Rabbit Hole" in reverse. Those   : tanks are coming to mind right about now-again!! Anyway saves me some typing (OK lots of...) on the AMPV that you've now got it in the game already-Thanks! Much easier to just track dates. If only all of it could be that easy!
Regards,
Pat

I would think the fact Bradleys have racked up more armour kills than the Abrams might have something to do with it.

Well ... there are a LOT more Bradleys then Abrams, and since they're capable of defeating tanks with TOW ATGMs it sort of make sense they'd have more kills.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
I think that Armata IFV chassis has the same protection of the MBT but in the game it's not

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Tracking these closely...
First good data look at the T-15 BMP with update.
http://www.armyrecognition.com/april..._52504162.html
http://www.armyrecognition.com/russi...res_video.html
BOOMERANG update Don and I have been watching this one for years now. There at one point it seemed like this would be fielded much sooner but, due to economic and technical issues it didn't get off the ground and was in danger of being canceled. This spawned the BTR-82A which is probably Russia's best APC in the field.

Just reading my daily newspapers.
