Armored Vehicle Lovers Group
Hobbies & Interests
this is a group, (like the tank and aircraft lovers) is dedicated to the IFV (infantry fighting vehicle) like the BMP-2 the M2A2 bradly and so on and so forth, from made up to real life, and anything in between. from treads to wheels to hover, this is for all you people who enjoy those rumbling rolling armored vehicles, that when on the target drop their ramps to emit a large group of infantry.

for an apc it has some kind of a nice armement...
Yeah!It can be a very fast, cheap and efficient tank destroyer!
Get in, blow tanks, get out! :D
yeah but only if the crew is not killed my Sniper and Machien guns before, this APC has only 14mm armor and can be penetrated by even small fire arms. Only 7.62mm rounds are capable to make swiss cheese of it...
sry mate but facts are facts. They should have better bought the Swedish CV90-120 instead...
Because a sniper could really outrange what is essentially a self-propelled gun
Its the stryker mobile gun system variant of the stryker currently used in th US military. The stryker has a gun similar to the abrams tank and its recoil system is classified. I think it is part of the US Future Combat Sytem (FCS).
For some reason I still like the ICV version better. Just seems this is only good for engaging tanks (I noticed vehicles with troop carrying capabilities tend to work well when they can actively support the troops they carry).
No it could also take out snipers and troops in structures, but remember the moblie gun system is only one varient of the stryker. And this uses technology that links each stryker unit togetherand can share data on the battlefield inlcuding pictures and location. It is to go with the Land Warrior System with troops on ground.
