This is a good example of why Mr "I want everyone to call the M113 light tank the Gavin" cannot have everything he wants.
M113 Medium Reconnaissance Vehicle -- M113A1 with Scorpion CVR(T) turret
Those panels on the side and the front that look like extra armour, they're actually floatation panels to help the beast stay above the water when it tries to be amphibious. By putting a turret on the M113, it became seriously unstable when it tried to swim. That won't be a problem if you can get across a river with a bridge/ferry etc. but if you can't you might just be leaving your fire support behind or worse... sitting at the bottom because an errant wave caused it to capsize.
Basically what I'm saying is that no matter how good the M113 might be, it simply cannot do everything the guy on the website believes it can unless it loses some other ability. |
Thats one of my favorite versions of the m113. Though putting a 90mm in that turret would even make it cooler. Would make a nice little support light tank.
