I think it has a form of extra armor but idk, probably just channels small arms to specific points

Japan has some so in infantry we might see it in both tech trees? Did any other nation in the game trial it?
I don’t know at the moment, but I feel like it would be unnecessary copy paste. Pretty much every other nation I can think of has some sort of amphibious vehicle armed with an autocannon that can be added.

Not Japan though with sub tree Malaysia could provide that but knowing Gaijin making a jacked sub tree is unlikely
May I suggest, To-Ku?

This is a cop out but Something more Cold War
That’s understandable, but at that point there’s really no need to keep the “amphibious” requirement in there, as you could just as easily get something like the Type 96 APC instead.

Yes please!
I wonder which handsome, strong, tall and especially modest gentleman suggested To-Ku in the forum?

Can we talk about how perfect these vehicles would be now with the addition of infantry. It has a grenade launcher and can pen 51mm with them, so it is a useful vehicle, it’s pretty nimble as well, so it has potential.
I don’t get why people are voting “no” you guys lack sense of funny tank.

Sounds similar to the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle (EFV) (formerly known as the Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle (AAAV)) with a 30mm MK44 Bushmaster II cannon
Feels like it’s going to be as bad as EFV
I don’t think it should be added to the ground tech tree. Rather, it should be introduced into the infantry mode as an armored transport.

With infantry mode I think we will see the Type 96 sooner then later there is also one with ERA and cage add on so it wont become a free punching bag.

Add-on SU Kit for the AAV would be cool. No idea how much armor it actually adds, but its made of ceramic, and adds 360 degree spall protection to the interior of the vehicle.

I think its more or less supposed to stop RPG and splinter fire so if this pops up in infantry mode very good.
Japan operates the AAVP-7 but from what I can understand, its not usually equipped with the modular armor package called the Enhanced Appliqué Armor Kit (EAAK) [Not saying that Japanese AAV-7s dont have it, they also are sometimes seen equipped with it but like 8 times out of 10 youll most likely see it without].
In ASEAN; Thailand, and Indonesia operate American-manufactured AAV7Ps meanwhile the Philippines operate South Korean manufactured KAAV-7s. Interestingly the Indonesian AAV-7s are donated stockpiles before South Korea began license production of the AAV-7.

You’re right, it should be really fun in infantry mode.
