Default Upgrade?

Would anyone change their vote to or away from the M2 Bradley, based on its recent combat performance in Ukrainian service?

IIRC, the Bradley received a lot of criticism from the moment it was selected by the US Army. "They" said, "its armor was inadequate, it was too tall, carried too few infantry", etc. Its reputation improved a bit during the Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Obviously, it's received a number of upgrades since the 1990s, although some of those garnered additional criticism at the time (e.g. more armor makes it heavier/less mobile). The Ukrainians have praised its crew/passenger survivability, optics, and firepower.

If you ever want to change your poll answer, let me know and I will change it for you manually. I just changed mine from LAV-25 to OT-64/SKOT 2.

Also, I'm adding the Swedish CV90, as Sweden has become a WWIII combatant in 4e T2k (and a NATO member IRL). Incidentally, the Ukrainians are also fans, IRL.
