Vehicle suggestions

[cosmicfish]

I like it. Unlike the last offering, this is being marketed towards a military market which suggests that it is better suited to the Morrow mission. The only problem I would have with this beasty would be coming up with a cover story for why you are transporting hundreds or thousands of these around the US pre-war.

If you are looking at something like that, I'd be more inclined to look at one of the following;

Oshkosh Defense : L-ATV or M-ATV Extended family
Navistar Defence : MXT family
AM General : BRV-O (more information required, but an interesting vehicle)

These are the other two contestants in the JLTV competition - I proposed Lockheed's candidate earlier. They all suffer from a dearth of available information (as they are not yet in full-scale production) and from the issue of not being currently available.

Another perfectly reasonable choice, but I think a bit bigger than the rest. I think you would need to an actual trade study to pick the best option.

Moved some of the posts from here to

as we had drifted from to original topic of vehicles.

The fact that it kinda looks like a cousin of Batman's Tumbler doesn't hurt either.

All right, I have to admit: that's pretty badass. Forget my earlier suggestion for the JLTV, this looks pretty solid for TMP. We may disagree on staffing levels, but I like this little beastie.

Needs to be a 6x6. As a 4x4, disabling one tire stops the vehicle. And these days being armored vs 'anti-material' rifles, M2, Kord 12.7, etc. is desirable.

All APCs and scouts have run flat tire (aluminum inner ring) to drive on in an emergency, most have a central tire inflation system capable of maintaining two tires at full capacity with two hits each. Most units are carrying a spare, for MPs this meant one spare mounted on a rim per squad on each mission.

On LAV IIIs (Stryker for one) have protection to 14.5, and this is with add on.

All APCs are proofed against 7.62N/7.62Bloc armor piercing, antipersonnel mines, and 155mm shell splinters with detonation at more than 50 meters. 1980s and newer will save the crew but loose the vehicle to an anti armor mine.

I don't give PCs a 6x6 or an 8x8. I want them lean and hungry so they will get out of the vehicle. Don't need a winnebago to be effective.
