Mastiff and Bulldog troop buses and we need a version of the Snatch Landie!

Post by **Bob_Marley** » 2007-04-26 16:18

Mastiffs and Bulldogs would be good, but I'm not sure what purpose a snatch would serve. The British already have a heavy jeep (the Saxon) and from what I understand snatch landrovers are intended for patrol work and such, rather than direct combat and so having them on the army vs army maps wouldnt really be realistic and with the Saxon and Landrover that are already in they wouldnt be that useful on UK vs Insurgent maps.

Just my opinion.

Very Nice! How much? lol ya I think we should work on UK a little more, especially modeling. As I have stated previously, the soldier models for UK are quite inadequate, and I hope they are refined soon.

Landrover Snatch is a must!! might not by particulally useful but if it has top cover positions it has some use. plus they look cool as. quite abit faster than your expect. Mind you im rather biased as a former snatch driver.

So can the armour on a snatch stop an AK round???????

the bulldog would be a nice addition as low firepower armour on infantry maps in a similar role to the stryker

So can the armour on a snatch stop an AK round???????

probably not, although the current rover ingame with all the soldiers gear hanging on the lightly armoured sides is sufficient to protect the 50 cal gunner from ak fire unlike ingame currently

Bin the Saxon as it's a piece of **** and replace it with the Mastiff. Bulldog would be OK but I can't wait for the Warrior........I WANT IT NOW!!!!!

Yes to the best of my experience the snatch armour can stop AK rounds, as long as the firer isnt stood next to the vehicle. Still they'd have to fire straight on otherwise it will ricoquet or get lodged in the armour.

Well, i belive that all Armies should really have a Heavy Truck, such as the Mastiff, its Massive armor is almost like a Tanks ?... plus if the devs would just slightly put on that sexy a$$ RPG Protection it would look even Cooler !! I dont know about Bulldog, since they already are making the Warrior, Why have another Tracked IFV ? Wheels goes Faster and more Silent

... I have to admit that the Saxxon really needs configurations, When sitting in that peice of machine i dont feel safe at all, I rather sit in the TOW Humvee lol.. seriously

Thats one thing that IMO makes this slightly unrealistic. In the British Military, when on operations you MUST, wear a helmet at ALL times, apart from morning routine, and sleeping. All classes must wear a helmet, though snipers it is not quite so essential.

The first time I drove one I felt that way, and the feeling hasn't changed in 18 years.......

They were originally bought for the RAF for airfield defence but they worked out they were a bag of **** so the Army ended up with them. Some excellent vehicles were trialed at the time, wonder whose palms were crossed with silver on that day......

10-4 on the RPG cages. they make the warrior and bulldog look wicked cool. get it on the challys too.

Swe_Olsson · Post by **Swe_Olsson** » 2007-05-08 18:28

the challenger is fine as it is, but the warrior could possibly wear it for extra armor against rpgs

Post by **strima** » 2007-05-08 19:40

The Panther has just come into service in Britain, my guys got trained just before Xmas 2006.

It comes with all the trimmings but still needs a little tweaking to get it just right.

Swe_Olsson · Post by **Swe_Olsson** » 2007-05-08 19:49

theres 2 different panther's the heli or the IFV ?

So how many PAnthers wll the UK armed forces be aquiring. Becuase they intend to replace the Land Rover, Saxon, FV432 with this vehicle, they should be getting quite a few then, but knowing them or more precisely thinking i know them, I would have thought they would not purchase enough!
