FV432 Bulldog

The argument of the British not recieving an armoured light transport has been going on for quite some time. The Land Rover is unarmoured but fast and the Warrior is large and bulky. I suggest the Bulldog as a go between as it is well armoured IRL (almost as much as the Warrior) and has an open turret which fits a GPMG.

The bulldog would be a good vehicle for low-intesity operations (like insurgency mode) as it would be smaller (to fit easier between buildings) and the open MG turret would increase situational awareness. It would also add a special flavour to the Al Basra map as the Bulldog was used alot in skirmishes (sometimes more than the Warrior) IRL.

Would it be possible to also add the option of fighting from the troop compartment like in the video? Maybe it could be like the troop trucks with the option of ducking like the .50 cal turrets.

The video is meant to be a good representation of the inside and how the troops used it as a fighting platform, but yes i did forget to add outside pictures of the apc.

I doubt it would be overpowered -- think about how vulnerable gunners on HMMWVs and especially the M113 are. I'd much rather be inside the troop compartment on either of those vehicles than poking my head out with enemy fire around.

That said, it might make the troops to vulnerable -- think about what a molotov would do to this thing.

Of the submitted videos here, I just realized one thing, the sound of shots L85 in PR clearly not like the fact that you can hear in reality))))
