It's been interesting* seeing the changes in the last few decades. Those mech infantry and armoured recce units that were equipped with 113s have now lost their tracks and been given G-wagens and/or Bushmasters and most of the tracks have gone back to the APC role.
We don't have any true armoured recce regiments now. They have been repurposed as light cavalry so while they're still reconnaissance, they no longer have the organic firepower to carry out the kind of offensive ops they were tasked with in the past. Even when the 76mm gun was phased out, the Regiments still had 81mm AMCs along with an organic platoon of assault troopers per Squadron with the Charlie Gutsache issued at a scale of one per Section from what I remember (although it was 30 years ago and my memory could be... unreliable!)
* by "interesting" I don't necessarily mean that I think it's a good change.
