Just a thought if anyone wants to update the Canadian LAV-III

Hescos on LAV's? Sweet!
I still haven't been near a LAV-3 in game yet, so I can't say if the other things would do any good, but they look nice

[dtacs]

So from what I gathered the things that have been added to the LAVIII with the LORIT package are:

• Hesco barrier mesh stowage bins
• Steel stowage bins
• New seats for the crew
• A shield for the commanders machine gun
• Increased armor for the passengers

For practicalities sake the only thing that would be applicable in PR is the increased armor. At the moment the LAV series vehicles don't have the commanders MG's up top. And the armor doesn't need editing of the vehicle according to those pictures.

using Hesco Bastion
wire mesh as extra stowage bins while increasing
rear compartment blast protection simultaneous-
ly is one example

Seems like the storage bins are not only for storage, but also work as cage/slat type armor for the rear compartment. I know the slats on other vehicles are buggy, but if they get them working it would be nice to see this addition to the LAV3.

Casr.ca is the Department of defence so it isn't actually used yet, the lav-3s are being upgraded right now to lorits.
