since alot of faction got kinda like an "heavy apc"[BMP3,M2A3,etc..] and a "light apc"[BTR60,Stryker,etc..] i wanna suggest the LAV3 RWS for Canadian Force as a light APC, basicly a "Stryker" but with the gun on the other side of the hull

pretty easy since R-Dev already have a Stryker model, just a green texture and a displaced gun and its fine
TY

But the LAV3 and the Stryker are visually different. You would need to model the differences. Canadian Forces need some decent weapons before it moves on to more vehicles.

Just got to take the LAV 3 model we have now and take off the bushmaster and add a M2 RWS on top. Shouldn't be too hard to do, good comparison though the Canadians do need a 'light' APC

We should give them M4s with C4.
And m1A1 Abrams, with C2 and C7 and...
Why do i get the feeling were missing B and A?
Why do they classify weapons like this in the Canadian army? Is it just because the first letter in Canadas name is C...?
This is strange, its not like we call our guns N1 etc..

U.S. use M, we use C, Brits use L, German use G... honestly i think it is a SFQ, but its my opinion.

Back on topic, if you want to discuss why different countries have different letters in front of thier weapon designations do so in the off topic section.

Hotrod, I am not sure if you know this but they are currently in Canada for training and familiarizing the soldiers, so I see know point in adding it. One thing that could be included is Strykers under Canadian control because in Afghanistan a division of Strykers is under Canadian Command.

Not sure you understand, they haven't been deployed yet, maybe they will be deployed with your unit it is under familiarization. Maybe they have but to my knowledge.

There is no "IF" i'm in the C.F., i'm doing my qualification on it, and i known they are used in A-stan and i can prove it in so many ways.
Back on topic, LAV3 RWS and/or M113A3 will be a pretty good add to C.F. into P.R., they could be used in INS & AAS game-mode. Both can easily been done by tweaking existing model in P.R.

Will the M113A3 be as bad as the IDF's one? blows up with one RPG to the side where it looks like it has 6 inches of steel
