i dont know about all of you but i dont realy care for the APC that the US has in the game. iv never realy think of that APC roleing up i always think of and M2 roling up and droping off troops. and thay both carre the same weapon set up just the 1 versons of the M2 has tow missels on it. but i would like to see more of the M2 other then the line breaker M2 out there

Search this has been sugested before.

The M2 With TOWs will be in for the US Army at some stage. The Marines do not use any Bradley variants and will stick with the LAV-25. And until there is an LAV-AD modeled, they'll probubly keep using the Bradley Linebacker as their AAV.

What about putting back TOW launchers on the LAV-25 and changing them to fire Stingers instead?

The LAV-AD has a completely different turret to the LAV-25, with 8 stinger tubes and a 25mm vulcan cannon.

Placeholder anyone?

No.

Actually, Bob, that's a GAU-12 "Equalizer" 25mm cannon (fires the same round as the M242 Bushmaster). This weapon is also found on the AC-130U Spooky (soon to be replaced with the 30 x 173mm Bushmaster II) and the Harrier II. I think the Army should have just stuck the Blazer turret of the LAV-AD on the Linebackers if they were unsatisfied with their performance, but I'm sure they had their reasons.

the reason is politics and money
