PC favorite Vehicles in Twilight

[wolffhound79]

Has anyone else encountered PC s that always seems to have a favorite or tendency towards getting certain vehicles?

My brother has a secret love for the M247 sgt york AD , hes had 3 over the years in 3 differant groups he has played.

For me its the Bradley APC and the M1A1 - had the M1A1 in my original game and the Bradley in several games since

I have only ever really got to play my personalized humvees or motorcycles. I dont get to play much as Im always the gm. The last time I got to play I was ducking Mexican patrol by driving thru fields and suburbs trying to avoid being captured. Made several great roles to keep from crashing or flipping.

Depends on the situation. For a cargo carrier you can't really go past the OT-64. A little armour and a reasonable weapon with decent mobility and range plus excellent cargo capacity. NOT a combat vehicle with any real chance of survival, but certainly tough enough to withstand shrapnel and small arms and keep your supplies (relatively) undamaged.

For a light combat vehicle I've always been fond of the FV721 Fox, or the FV101 Scorpion for a tracked vehicle.

If fuel and long range mobility isn't an issue, then it's the Challenger II.

Most of my groups went for the M2 or Humvee.

Leopard 3 tank. Is there a cooler looking vehicle anywhere?

Quite often the conversation comes around to "what's the best vehicle for the Twilight War in the Polish theatre" and the answer I always give is "the AAVP-7A1, it's a truck that swims and has good guns." You don't actually fight in it but for just carrying junk and being resistant to machine guns it's awesome.

However.

When it really comes down to it might true love is the M551A1 Sheridan reconnaissance vehicle. It's just the coolest, best-looking track out there in my own personal, probably warped opinion.

I'm not sure if I submitted it to Paul but I did a "best vehicle that never was" where the poor old track got the upgrade kit it seriously needed* to an A2 model involving ERA blocks, an upgraded missile sight system, an upgrade to the main gun making it an M81E1A2 with a semi-combustible cartridge case and an improved casing, beam riding retrofit for the missile, the removal of the flotation capacity and some bar armour around the rear.

I've run maybe two of them in games but they've never really gone anywhere. Pity because I got the FM for the little bus and read it so I'd know what it was and wasn't capable of it.

(*Really, the M551 was never seriously upgraded during its whole twenty eight year long service. It got some vision upgrades in 1990 that were done so grudgingly it's really indicative of how much the tank commanders loathed any idea of light tanks and gives you an idea of why the M8 Buford, the Stingray and all the others withered on the vine)
