Will the USMC Linebacker eventually get replaced by the LAV-AD for AA ?
Thanks.

Thank goodness, since the USMC never had Bradleys or Linebackers...

So if this is true...

The HMMWV Avenger requires a crew of two to operate... (Or it will look weird as hell) and will be the only AAV in game to steal another pair of boots from the battlefield!?
Unless, every AAV will require 2 guys in .85?

There needs to be a price to pay for that kind of mobility compared to any other AAV.

Isn't the price to pay being stuck in a "fast" but fragile little Humvee, as apposed to the current heavily armored but slow AAV?

One missile will kill any AAV, one AP round will kill any AAV, one HAT will kill any AAV.

I think being able to move fast will be a big advantage.

Yeah, and Humvees can be killed with .50 cals and launched grenades. That's more vulnerability than an armored AAV.
