Project Reality Forums

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

@ 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

Nvm the PM, pictures are here:

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

Cool

I'w been asked to model it

yes you have and you will continue, keep in mind guys this is not an apc its an transporting vehicle!

Depending on what type of vehicle:
Ambulance: XA-186

Engineer, APC: XA-203

APC- Armoured Personnel Carrier

is it just me, or is this thing quite similar to the german fuchs (fox)?

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

Slim chance you will find it on google

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

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

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

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.
