I wanna see APCs with less firepower in the mod, like the Stryker. Why? Because, without the firepower the current APCs has it would force the crew to avoid enemy contact more, and therefore make them better as transport.

ANYWAYZ if you unarm the APC how the hell we gonna defend our infantry ? is not named Infantry Fighting Vehicule ( or Mechanised Infantry ) for nothing....

Is it possible you could use punctuation?

The APCs firepower is fine as it is. I took a T-72 out with around 50 APFSDS (sp?) the other day. That's more than enough firepower.

They aren't going to disarm the APCs..... that would be a stupid idea. They were talking about removing the spawn point. And no, it's not named an IFV, it's an Armoured Personnel Carrier.

No-one is talking about disarming the apc, but simply limiting its firepower so people will be more inclined to use it to transport and support troops, instead of playing hide and seek around buildings raping infantry spawns.

APC = Armoured Personal Carrier, not Armoured Anti-Tank Vehicle. If you 'wanna take on enemy MBTs, use an MBT!

What I'd like to see:

IFVs - Infantry mobility and fire support, keep firepower as it is, not a spawn point.

APCs - pure battle taxis, 12.7/7.62mm top side and can act as a spawn.

I would love to see that as well, I even thik it would be a little more fun to play as the preverbial Battle Taxi driver...

And if this is implimented the USMC sould keep there LAV as their IFV, and the AAV-7 should be their APC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphibious_Assault_Vehicle
Yes, I am aware wikipedia isn't the best source but it is the most accessable...

That would be rather nice... M2A3 and Stryker for the Army, LAV-25 and AAV-7A1 for the Marines... don't know what the other guys would get, though.

FV432 "Bulldog" (APC) and FV510 "Warrior" (IFV) for Brits, ZSL92A (APC) and ZSL92 (aka WZ551) (IFV) for the PLA.

As for the MEC, depends if the devs want to keep the focus on Russian stuff, really. If so, BTR-80 (APC) and BTR-90 (IFV) I would imagine.

Not a single post on-topic?
Come on guys, kit requests.
DEVs?

Spawn on APC? NO

Request kits on APC? Very likely, except for Crewmen and Piot kits.
