Will PR be adding in the MK23 or 25 oshkosh 7 ton into the mod?
Seems theres not a whole lot of love for the logistics side of the corps! PoE, BF2, DCX, Russian Assault.. hell noone has a 7ton! Motor T is the backbone of the Corps. From a sensible side, unless its towing artillery or troops, it doesnt have a real useful purpose in the game, but neither does an unarmed humvee. 7ton is faster, superior at offroad and difficult terrain, hell it even breaks faster(i think), not to mention its a big bad mama jama. I worked on both for the corps, they both break constantly with aimers and grunts drivin em but the 7ton is alot easier for maintenance!
mount a mk19, m2, or 240g on the bad boy! 15 tons of chubby green 6 wheel drive death and 1550 lb/ft of torque to shove it!
i didnt mention the 27 or 28 because they are winch models of the 23 and 25 respectively, and i dont think winches would work or have a place in this type of game...

i dont think it would be a bad idea to have some big trucks, in Iraqi Freendom SF used the old SAS "warpigs" concept using big trucks as mobile resupply and refuel stations, i think itd be a great concept in PR make them mobile resupply, rearm, maybe even heal and repair station
heck maybe even give the driver some assist points for people that resupply

i thought about the LVS but that thing is just too slow and unagile, to my knowledge it recieves no weapon mount, itd just be a big defenseless target in a warzone, still looks cool though..

In time people, currently we are more focused on other items, but once the time is right, and when the time to do it is present we will definatley be adding some heavy toys to the mix (and I don't just mean more tanks). No specifics yet though

You mean the Army SF GRVs (Ground Resupply Vehicles). They're a modified Light FMTV and found in the SF company HQ (Operational Detachment B).

never seen a pick i thought they were more like the duece ana halfs, but that might be it, from what iv read it sounds like the same concept the SAS came up with in the North Africe Campaign

that thing looks cool but not as cool as a 7ton!
5 tons replaced the 2.5's, 7 tons replaced the 5 tons.
take a budwieser beer truck, remove the trailer with all the beer in it, give it a hell of a lift kit, 6 wheel independant suspension, big friggin tires, a camo paint job, and a devil dog in the driver seat, and youve got a 7ton.

That would be great to have in PR, just imagine, mobile sniper targets.

Heres an idea, toss a bunch of C4 in the back, sit in the passanger seat, and have the driver drive into a camp and detonate, Car Bomb!!! Actually, I think the SUV would work better
