AVB ?

Methinks you mean ABV (Assault Breacher Vehicle)

It's been in the OOB's for a couple of months

I assume that means I can toss anything in the AAV or the LVTE class with a mine plow that starts after the ABV out of the USMC OOB ?

If they just scrapped the plow there must be at least one photo of one with it ( I just canna find it .)

Once the ABV (AVB was a typo) is introduced feel free to toss the LVTE mine plow class, and of course the M728 CEV.
The LVTE's were kept around to supplement/substitute for the CEV (since they didn't have many and they were too slow with the introduction of the M1A1).

Like EVERYTHING in the USMC the plows weren't scrapped, just placed in storage.
Same as the M20 3.5" bazooka were till at least 1985.
Same as the M14's still are

I'll have a look at it. If things still look useful I'll leave them in. The ABV isn't amphibious

Well, you never know when you'll need to punch a real hole in something......

Methinks most "modern" marines who trained on the M16 would get a real wake up after a day at the range with an M14.
