Could be a fantastic 8.7-9.0. Personally i believe many of the wheeled TDs are already too low hence my expression of 9.0. If BRs didnt change for others, id say 8.7

+1 at 9.0 with M900 and a 6.7 second reload to counteract the poorish mobility (17.1 HP/tonne) and poor optics
Would love it as a 8.7 light tank to go with my A-4E, similar to the Type 16 or Centauro. Probably with M735 or M774. Would like it to be lower BR with a worse than the other stuff because theres plenty at 9.3+ but nothing between 8.0-9.0 for USA

I thought it was this based on the title.
Either way still a cool vehicle and I can see it fitting into the game

+1 for 9.3/9.7
Remember guys, it’s got a LRF, thermals, CITV, an autoloader, excellent gun handling, and the second best 105mm round in the game. It’d be an exceptional sniper, nearly equal with the M1128. Much more comparable to the Centauro 105 or Rooikat 105 than the Vickers Mk 11, and with by far the best firepower of them all.

I think this would be great for 9.3 or 9.7, with the LAV-600 (👇) being 8.7 (M774) or 9.0 (M833)

What is that honker of a main gun
Looks like britain could have another TD if thats canadian 👀
Oh yeah. Thats honestly hotter. 8.7 doesnt exist for the US so i’d support 9.0 with M883
Unless we start to make 8.7 viable with additions like this…

Is that even a 105mm? It looks like it could be a 155mm.
From what I could find it was only tested by USA.

So isnt the LAV III the canadian license copy, but why do I see so many LAV IIIs built in testing formats for the US Army?
We need both stat
The LAV platform is Canadian. The Stryker(what the US calls the LAV-III) came after. Heck the US only joined the program with the LAV-II(LAV-25) with the Marines.
And don’t believe me? look at the dates they entered service
LAV-III: 1999
Stryker: 2002
General Dynamics Land Systems(of Canada) builds the things. The same company works for both Canada and the US so that’s probably why.

Also found this in a related thread on Facebook, sounds like the LAV-AG project had no shortage of complications along the way lol
