How?
Where?

With SU load limit set to 17
everything fits and you end up with about half the carriers at 17 capacity and the other half 16 |

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Academic exercise ... Can you fit 10# of stuff in a 5# sack within the limits imposed by the game mechanics (10 slots).

Re: APC Development and related topics.
I have a couple other ideas in mind for those formations..the re-nationalized Co Supt (Mec) has loads of room left for some of those formation/units that screw up auto deploy. It just requires a bit of "creativity"

I was keeping that to stuff that usually deploys behind the front lines (mortars, MPADS) and hadn't considered it's excess carry capacity ... duh.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
some of those added coy extra units could be used as "security" for the mortars and manpads..... but in an advance, some could be dropped off and the remainder continue forward so it's a legitimate use of that formation

Re: APC Development and related topics.
With IDEX 2017 going on I just happened to catch this on the show/exhibition news area. Looks like the Czech Army is seriously looking at the German PUMA IFV C3/P6. Understand I've got a couple of issues going right now, nothing bad, however I don't have the time to back check the German PUMA IFV. That being said three issues or non starters don't know...
1) Fielded btwn Jan.-Apr. 2016.
2) Indicates all using SPIKE I believe it to be the LR version as I think the IDF is still testing the latest version due this year to go into service with the IDF.
3) Is the German PUMA IFV configured with the " soft kill" MUSS system as indicated in this article?
http://www.armyrecognition.com/idet_..._10506173.html
As a testing update for EITAN which will be equipped with the new SPIKE when fielded...
http://www.armyrecognition.com/april..._81004174.html
Probably will be ready for fielding by years end or very early next year by the pace of development. Nice to see someone run a defense industry with " Their Sxxx one sock" for a change.
Gotta go!!
Regards,
Pat

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Australia's LAND 400 Phase II Program has passed another milestone with the completion of the weapons trials for the BOXER and AMV as the competition is still ongoing.
http://www.armyrecognition.com/june_..._80806173.html
Personal opinion is I still "feel" at this time the BOXER will come out ahead on this. We'll see with time.
Czechoslovakia... Everyone wants their EUROS.

Re: APC Development and related topics.
Chinese are working on a modular HIFV which is at least at the prototype stage.
Probably a tech demo jointly funded by NORINCO and the PLA(N) to try out the HIFV concept to see if it can be made to work with PLA(N) doctrine.
http://defence-blog.com/army/norinco...g-vehicle.html
Quote:
The China North Industries Group Corporation (NORINCO Group) is developing a new heavy infantry fighting vehicle based on tank chassis.
The new Chinese heavy infantry fighting vehicle has modular armor with add-on armor modules. So protection level can be tailored to counter specific threats or to suit mission requirements. The mobility and protection of the vehicle is comparable to the latest VT-5 tanks.
The new fighting vehicle also fitted with a turret that is armed with a 30 mm gun. The new IFV is fitted with an unmanned turret armed with one 30mm automatic cannon. The turret has panoramic sighting system and integrated gun-and-fire control system.
