Why would we be upset?
Anyway, looking forwad to the Australian KF-41 in the British TT

Simply bringing up the fact LAVs aren’t domestic to them get’s them riled up.
Mix in facts like they have no claim on 90% a foreign operated LAV. (The 10% is the few times the American model was picked)

Funny enough, I think Canada still produces the chassis/hulls/etc for them, I think its in London, Ontario???
The US was looking for a Wheeled Hull for their new vehicles, and Canada won said competition, but now the US claims the hull as theirs I guess lol

Or as I’ve seen the argument made for the Skink, “It uses the Sherman (Grizzly) hull therefore the US needs it”, despite the fact they never used it, so im glad Gaijin added the little “US Emblem” beside the Skink name, makes it so much more satisfying knowing that it doesnt actually belong to the US

Ya, London, Ontario, Canada.
Where majority LAV hulls are built (I think the Aussies licensed-built theirs but both NA operators get theirs built there).
Not sure if turrets are fitted there or they get sent elsewhere.

Found on the AVGP wiki page, so uh
AVGP for both Britain and for Russia? lmao
from what I remember the LAV-III is different to the LAV-25 the US operates so I dont see why the UK couldn’t get the Canadian version and the US get their own version
It’s just nation mains being nation mains.
British mains also had ludicrous arguments why the event Merkavas should have been added to the British tree.
a fun top tier light tank / SPAA hybrid we could get is the MMEV as well

Yep, it’d allow for an actually unique SPAA apart from the millionth Indian/Russian C&P all within 10.0 to 10.7
thing is the uk has a couple top tier SPAA options but we have yet to get a new spaa past 10.3 in well howver long ago the ADATS was added

So you propose, ADATS on wheels
Grizzly is the APC version of the AVGP.
That because they are different gens of the LAV.
(A bit of over simplification)
It goes:
AVGP/LAV-I (gen 1)
LAV-25/LAV-II (US joins here, gen 2)
LAV-III —> Stryker (the US one is made a few years after the LAV-III making the two different vehicles, gen 3)
LAV-6.0 (major upgrades to the LAV-III, so not sure if I can count this as next gen, not sure if US has an equivalent)
Now I am missing a number of other models(ex the (later) hundreds series), and actual details. But this is bar basically explanation of the basic models.

I mean would make a fun light tank, since it can have more then just the ADATS missiles, it can have hellfire’s and rocket pods as well

Won’t get the hellfire
More like General Dynamics design or mowag piranha if you want to be really specific

Find me a picture of the Hellfire mounted on it. Real one, not render
Oh Canada is now a British sub-tree?
