APC/IFV Passenger Capacities

[Panther Al]

In short: How realistic are those numbers?

I've seen the seating drawings used to base the official numbers on, and they are always of soldiers with no kit on, and often enough the seats are pointing in all sorts of directions to fit as many in as possible. I am somewhat familiar with CFV version of the Bradley, and its not too far from reality, though the seating layout for the IFV version I always felt was more akin to wishful thinking than to what wold actually work in combat with troops in full battle rattle.

In your opinions and experiences, whats the real passenger allowances for the various APC/IFV's out there? Particularly when it comes to the Marder, Warrior, CV90, the LAV, and such like?
