Not to Sound like a Broken Record but... HMMWVs and/or M113s

Have you guys decided if you would ever implement the M113 or up armored HMMWV? With all the glory vehicles will be getting in the next patch, maybe its time to replace the LAV-25 with something a little "lighter" for troop carrying. This isn't just for an aesthetic thing, it would really affect the gameplay too, and IMO make it much more fun and realistic. It is fun to have your squad be mechanized infantry and use the LAV, but that rarely happens. The M113 armed only with a .50 cal would me more of a carrier than an offensive vehicle. Another possibility if theres no resources to model it or take it from blacksands is to just use an up armored HMMWV (homemade/blacksands), the best of the best like you see in Iraq, the ones stuffed to the brim with armor and and plates of ceramic or steel or whatever they use surround the gunner's turret.

As for the other militaries, they stay the same. Balance through unbalance, in fact Id even give insurgents on Al Basra more spawn points along the road to lay IEDs to take these suckers out.

So whadda ya think?

M113

I'd be happy with the up-armored HMMWV.
Lav-25 is necessary as counterpart to the other APCs, or the DEV's would have to remove all of them, but I doubt that.

These have been suggested and discussed before.

The Marines are not the only US branch of service represented in PR.
