Bao is not a human. That's not possible.

yep...that looks like fun

This is impressive... As always when it comes to the PR-Crew and the PR-CF-Crews: Utmost respect for your impressive work.

I find the reality-contact-started, cockey trend on this forum rather disturbing, or are you suggesting there are cocques inside?

anyway, as I said in it's original thread: very nice vehicle, the turret has been nicely finished as well. however, it's still weird to have such mean-looking vehicles in peaceful UN-white!

i hope its as fast as the LAV. looks nice.


Curry.

So how will this look stat-wise(speed, armour...etc.)?

Excelleeeeeent

nice work guys, although I might suggest you brighten up your renders a little

wow.... that's amazing. Who is this Bao guy anyway? is he even a human? because that's just... wow.

Nice work!
I'd be nice if FF would be included in next update :S

Amazing job as always thanks bao and everyone who worked on it.

I was wondering


"Armour: 14.5 mm API [1]"

Is that a "very good" armor capability ? i think the bradley can handle way more then that .Am i wrong ?

Wow. I like it. I like it a lot.

geat work. and who the hell is bao? i can se hes a moddeler and texturer

Yeah, Bao knows modeling and texturing.

He doesn't speak English, it's the reason why you won't see him around.

Though he browses the forums sometimes to see the comments.

the details show best on the UN version, excellent work

Great.. Another delusive thread title

Looks awesome. Keep up the splendid work.

the quality of the FF vehicles is still awesomesauce
