Bao is not a human. That's not possible.

[Psyko]

yep...that looks like fun

[Nagard]

This is impressive... As always when it comes to the PR-Crew and the PR-CF-Crews: Utmost respect for your impressive work.

[Wakain]

I find the reality-contact-started, cockey trend on this forum rather disturbing, or are you suggesting there are cocques inside?

anyway, as I said in it's original thread: very nice vehicle, the turret has been nicely finished as well. however, it's still weird to have such mean-looking vehicles in peaceful UN-white!

[Curry]

i hope its as fast as the LAV. looks nice.


Curry.

So how will this look stat-wise(speed, armour...etc.)?

[AfterDune]

Excelleeeeeent

[Rhino]

nice work guys, although I might suggest you brighten up your renders a little

[Hulabi]

wow.... that's amazing. Who is this Bao guy anyway? is he even a human? because that's just... wow.

[tatne]

Nice work!
I'd be nice if FF would be included in next update :S

[EW_SK]

Amazing job as always thanks bao and everyone who worked on it.

I was wondering


"Armour: 14.5 mm API [1]"

Is that a "very good" armor capability ? i think the bradley can handle way more then that .Am i wrong ?

[ShockUnitBlack]

Wow. I like it. I like it a lot.

[Doc.Pock]

geat work. and who the hell is bao? i can se hes a moddeler and texturer

[Hauteclocque]

Yeah, Bao knows modeling and texturing.

He doesn't speak English, it's the reason why you won't see him around.

Though he browses the forums sometimes to see the comments.

[Rudd]

the details show best on the UN version, excellent work

[Elektro]

Great.. Another delusive thread title

[Zulnex]

Looks awesome. Keep up the splendid work.
