LAV-25 vs AAV

[BloodBane611]

The LAV-25 is an armoured recce platform. The LAV-PC is the troop carrying variant of it. The version you see in the game is a mangled hybrid - it's not actually an LAV-25 or an LAV-PC but retains the 25mm chaingun of the gun car 25 and some of the pax transport capability of the PC variant.

There is no LAV-PC in the USMC, in fact the LAV currently in PR is a pretty realistic representation of the LAV-25. In real life they have enough space for 6 troops, though the marines I've talked to said they rarely have to pack that many in, and of course they're not normally moving infantry squads.

Lets hope you can't fire both the .50 and the MK19 at the same time, or else we'll be getting a lot of combo- .50 and 40mm AGL kills =o

It's been said in a different thread which I can't find that they are on separate slots, as IRL.

You can't, luckily. ;]

Isn't it 6 cleanskin, 4 with equipment?

Not according to the marines sitting in the thing when I asked them.

I stand corrected.

• The projectiles have the same kill/wound radius as 40mm UGL's in-game currently
• They're fired at 300rpm
• They have a lob trajectory meaning you can both fire indirectly and land rounds inside cover

Oh..oh god. What has science done.

That's the same as five-six grenadiers firing as fast as they can. Realistic as this is, I'm pretty sure the spam is going to make the current TOW situation seem normal, reasonable even.

I'm left to wonder what the point of attacking a flag secured by TOWs, scoped HMGs, Mortars, and Full Auto grenadier squads. Seems like a good way to hemorrhage tickets for little to no gain.

Sure won't stop me from trying though.

Good heavens, the explosion size for the GLA is already massive so imagine multiples going off at once...

[Wh33lman]

wow, this has gone way beyond my question.

so basicly im comparing apples to oranges. and when i asked if it was being phased out, i meant out of the Marine Corps inventory. clearly thats not the case.

[dtacs]

No, its still used in a recon role, as it is in the other countries who use it (namely Australia)

Honestly i do wanna know if there is a difference between US and CA LAV25 cause i cant barely fit in the back of a LAV25 when its combat loaded...


Back on topic R-Dev could use the LAV25 as a AFV, just like CF does. Driver & gunner slot only. Just like the scimitar used by the british. And AAVP7A1 for carrying marines all around map...

As Rhino already said it probably will be used just like that in future but it's reliant on there being a map in PR where that is appropriate, which just isn't the case at present.

[Gamer836475]

this question has been eating away at me since i saw the the AAV. why is the AAV replacing the LAV in PR?

Where did you see/hear the AAV is even being added? I been waiting for this for a loooong time now!

Don't worry, I gave them the same incredulous look, but they were pretty adamant that 6 guys fit in the back.

The USMC LAV-25 and Canadian LAV-25 Coyote are the same chassis but the back of the Coyote (Canadian variant) removed the bench seats and replaced them with 1 observer seat, multiple surveillance monitors and telescopic observation mast. In comparison the USMC LAV-25 has two outward facing bench seats which seat a total of 6 troops.
