Ye as Midnight said, Panhard is in the plans, just no one is working on it currently and the LVTP-7 is ingame, but only on the Skirmish 32 layer, which is based on the Argentine Invasion of the Falklands which was the only time the LVTP-7 was used during the war.
The model itself is a reskinned AAVP7A1 with the Mk19 barrel removed (via code) so the turret is a little different and has modern armour on it but it dose the job

I mean the LVTP-7, not the M113, sorry. Even if they pulled them after the ocupation from the island, it would be better to have a wider range of assets and gameplay/balancing on the map or. I dont think someon would say oh man its so ultimativ unrealistic or? ^^
Someon knows why they pulled them from the island?

Ye, as I said before it wasn't used other than the initial invasion where then after it left with the landing ship that brought it and I want to stick as much as I can to historical accuracy. Panhard will also hopefully be in a later version for players who want to do the armour side of things

Can't wait to hear the Spanish Argentinian voices!
Hopefully with time, assets of the mod will improve. What else are you working on Rhino? You said the Panhard, there're also the AA launcher missiles. Can we hope for some ships?
Currently right now not working on anything PR:F related, other than possibly fixing a few bugs in the coming week if there are any that really need fixing, that I can fix and if AM will let me
Right now its really in the communities hands to complete the majority of the work still needed to be done for this mod as I'm now back to finishing other more pressing projects. PR:F is in a pretty good state right now, although missing some key elements such as LMGs are missing although Loke is currently working on the Bren and the FM FAP shouldn't take much to make off the FN FAL. The other stuff is really to replace current place holders and to give new elements of gameplay to the mod
While yes, Ships are in the design plan, I don't honestly expect them to be done. While I would love for someone to make them, as they would give an awesome dimension to the mod with putting even more focus for the Argie jets to go after the shipping and not just ground targets, while also giving them a much bigger challenge than AC (since they have weapons, anti-ship countermeasures and will most likely be mobile too), the amount of work and the skill sets required for them means that its very unlikely that someone with that amount of time and has the skill sets required, is going to come along and do them
Although I still have put them up there just encase someone dose come along wanting a challenge
So ye, still lots yet that can be done for PR:F and possibly in the long run the dev team may put some more resources into finishing some of them off but at this point, really in the community hands since the Dev team is stretched real thin trying to sort out everything for the core mod right now and for the foreseeable future.

Damn the Argentinian voices are really good!
When you load Goose Green before ANY other maps for the first time SINCE YOU INSTALLED the minimod, you won't hear them, but once you play another falklands map it loads them, then Goose Green is normal.
At least that's what it was for me.

In the Falklands War, the Argentines deployed 12 AML-90s from Escuadron de Exploracion Caballeria Blindada 181 (181st Armoured Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron) and an unknown additional number from Escuadron de Exploracion Caballeria Blindada 10 near Port Stanley. During the Battle of Wireless Ridge the only armour versus armour engagement of the war was fought when these units encountered FV101 Scorpions and FV107 Scimitars of the Blues and Royals. The AML-90s were abandoned in Stanley after the conflict ended.
Final assault
D Coy then began the final assault from the western end of Wireless Ridge, under the cover of heavy fire from HMS Ambuscade's 4.5 inch gun, tanks, twelve 105 mm artillery guns, several mortar pieces and anti-tank rockets. Earlier Argentine GHQ had sent the dismounted 10th Panhard armoured car squadron to make a reconnaissance foray into the western rocks of Wireless Ridge.

gb_ifv_scorpion, you can always find out by opening up the files and looking for the file name thou

Just found it, but thanks anyway.
WTF, It's like a tank! 20 rounds of AP and 20 rounds of HE with thermal!
It will be my favorite APC in the coming version!

Well, it is classed as a Light Tank as well as a recon vehicle. Also Thermals are just a place holder since we don't have proper Night Vision in the mod. MEC one wont have any thermals or NV when it gets fixed too since it doesn't have a night sight.

Just googled it, hummm, it's one very nice and successful light tank! (It reminds me of AMX12t, both look lovely! )
In PR, the driver can handle it very easily, and it has excellent react time, which can really save our *** in the battle.
Although reloading time is a bit long, but much better than T62 lol.
Rhino, nice job, it's sweeeet! <3

Well the reload time balances with the fact that it has thermals for now and that Argentinians have no tanks right now.

Reload time is simply realistic, not going to change even when those other two factors come in
