[Suggestion/Discussion] M113 APC variant for MEC

[STORM-Mama]

Everyone needs to stop thinking in absolutes. What's to say we won't have the M113 on a certain map that seems fit for it? And something else to replace the role of the BTR-90 on other maps?

Great idea. Variety is always good, and I can imagine that the MEC equipment would be very varied since they use a lot of different vehicles. Does this mean we can see Hinds on some maps? Mi-28 is not widely used - think Russia is the only country using them.

The introduction of designated Personnel Carriers rather than IFVs is good. If these vehicles get no real weapons except .50s they will probably be used more as they should be - for transport.

You planning on maybe doing something similar to PLA or the Brits?

Russia and Venezuela uses it.
Maybe russkies saw a good way to get some cash and sold armor, chopers etc. for the MEC.

Well theres no reason that the Mi-28 should have to be used. There are a multitiude to gunships currently in service or on order with various middle eastern states, such as the Apache, in use with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE Some with As some with Ds and some with a mix of both, the model for which the mod either already has (the D) or will need at somepoint in the future (the A, for the Dutch). Also, the Tiger, which has been ordered by Saudi Arabia (again, theres already the EF model for this and some vauge plans for PR's own in the Aussie and German camps), the Cobra which is used by Jordan, Pakistan and Bahrain and also the Super Cobra, operated by Iran (along with thier home-made Panha 2091. Though its the two rotor version, not the 4 used by the USMC currently in PR. And, of course, the Hind.
