@Smin1080p_WT Since Russia has gotten now 2 BTR’s, is there any chance the US can get its LAV-25’s? Kind of a bit overdue now id say especially since numerous other nations have gotten their wheeled IFV’s

Where would the LAV-25 even get placed? I feel like you can’t place it below 9.0 because that is where the badger is, but there are also already considerably better wheeled autocannon vehicles at 9.3-9.7.
base LAV-25 can easily go to 7.3 or 7.7 because it only has APDS as its top AP ammo. LAV-25A2 tho can go to 8.7 or 9.0 since it has thermals, darts, and HMG resistant armor but no missiles. Now the LAV-25 with TOW’s can go to 10.0 or 10,3 since it would be firing TOW-2’s

Seems like that is at least 9.0 material since the Badger is worse than that at 9.0.
Fair enough, guess it’s BR is similar to the Type 87 RCV(P) or whatever it’s called.
id mention the LAV-25A1, but thats pretty much just the base LAV-25 with HMG resistant armor, that one is honestly more fit to be a premium than a TT vehicle since its a sidegrade since you get protection at the cost of mobility

LAV AT would prolly be like 9.7 tops because its just a worse wiesel 1a2.
If it carries the same missiles as the M901, it probably would be 9.0 with the mobility being the only reason for the higher BR
The LAV-25 with TOW’s i was meaning isnt the LAV-AT, im meaning the LAV-25 that has a pair of TOW launchers on the sides of its turret that was developed for the US Marines and tested by them and the Aussies
Pretty sure it uses tow 2 and even tow2b, so prolly not quite as low as 901 with itow.
I have yet to see anything more than a 3d model mockup of that project personally.
9.3 would be reasonable for one with TOW 2s, the Wiesel only has that 9.7 BR because of its tiny size

This is the only picture out there of the LAV-25 with the launchers and is on the Aussie LAV-25
Fancy. First time i’ve seen an actual image.
Sounds like a worse Desert Warrior
Id say better mostly because it would be alot more mobile
I’d take MG proof armour over mobility any day
Good thing this is an LAV-25 with HMG proof armor
Is it? I don’t remember the LAV-AD being HMG proof
