[Vehicle] SISU XA-186 [WIP]

[FastWinston]

It has begun! The initial progress will be slow as I am moving + Christmas time I will need as much (confirmed) information and pictures as possible. I have seen the walk-a-rounds of the XA-180s and XA-203s at primeportal, but I am unsure what visual differences there are between these and between the XA-186 and XA-188 models, other than the obvious lack of swimming, added wire cutters, periscopes and a turret for both and the added armor for the latter.

I have seen what I believe to be a Norwegian XA-188 but I am unsure and haven’t seen this in any inventory list other then for the Danish and Dutch armies.

@Fastwinston:
Check your PM

[FastWinston]

@ ice killer: I have never heard of that before, but I am quite new to modelling. Do you have a link explaning this? By the way it is only 4 vertexes, the bottom edge is extruded

Good to see some enthusiasm, Winston. But will we need a 2nd APC?
Sure you don't want to model a helicopter instead?

[jbgeezer]

They share some simmilarities in shape, but its a complete diffrent vehicle.

APC is a transporting vehicle. This is a APC.
CV90 and SISU fulfill the same purpose.
I can only see the need for both if there was a big variaty of maps/geografi/terrain.

Although the SISU/Patria is more then a mere transport, its armoured and lightly armed) you cannot compare it to a CV90 because it doesnt have a heavy calibre main gun (it only has a .50) and its not tracked but wheeled, thus faster.

In Afghanistan based maps, you can use both systems on one mission, the CV90 as a IFV Infrantry Fighting Vehicle, to provide support for teams moving on a target and the SISU/Patria to provide MEDEVAC and a quick entry and gettaway.

It will fill the same role as the stryker ingame i guess. Does anybody have a blueprint of the PASI? I only have the side and would like to have a top and rear one to

[Glimmerman]

Slim chance you will find it on google

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer? http://www.patria.fi

[FastWinston]

Maby I need to by a model kit They allways have nice blueprints

[IceKiss]

DAMN I LOVE YOU WINSTON!!! this will be awesome!!!! :O

[johnandreas]

CV90 and SISU fulfill the same purpose.

Negative. The cv90 is an IFV - Infantry Fighting Vehicle, thuss capable of direct-fire support, while the SISU is an APC (as stated before) and its armament is merely used for self protection and the vehicle itself for transport.

I recommend that if the SISU have to get a role in this setting it is as an ambulance (XA-186) or an armoured engineer vehicle (XA-203).

And I see now that this have been pointed out.
