[Vehicle Suggestion] LAV-25 (United States, Light Reconnaissance Vehicle)
📝 Summary:
I propose the addition of the LAV-25, a light armored reconnaissance vehicle used by the United States Marine Corps since the early 1980s, into the American ground forces tree in War Thunder.
📖 Historical Background:
The LAV-25 (Light Armored Vehicle) was introduced in 1983 as a fast, all-terrain reconnaissance vehicle. It was based on a Canadian 8x8 chassis design, adapted for U.S. Marine Corps needs. Armed with a 25 mm M242 Bushmaster cannon, it has served in numerous conflicts:
- Operation Desert Storm (1991)
- Operation Iraqi Freedom
- Afghanistan and global peacekeeping missions
Over the years, the LAV-25 has proven to be a versatile, reliable, and mission-critical vehicle for U.S. forces.
🎮 Why It Fits War Thunder:
1. Unique Gameplay Role
- Highly mobile (up to 100 km/h), lightly armored, and ideal for flanking, recon, and supporting maneuvers.
- Bridges the gap between light tanks and IFVs like the M3 Bradley or M1128 Stryker.
2. Expands Modern Tech Tree
- Helps develop the light vehicle branch of the U.S. tree, which currently lacks high-tier light recon options.
- Opens the door to additional LAV variants (ATGM, AA, mortar, etc.).
3. Historical Accuracy
- Has seen extensive real-world combat use, aligning well with War Thunder’s focus on historically significant military equipment.
4. Popular Demand
- The LAV-25 is well known among players and military enthusiasts — its inclusion would attract both veteran players and newcomers.
🔧 Suggested Vehicle Stats (est.)
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Crew | 3 |
| Armament | 25 mm M242 Bushmaster + 7.62 mm coax |
| Armor | Light armor (anti-fragmentation) |
| Mobility | 8x8 wheeled, ~100 km/h |
| Optics | NVD + Thermal Imaging |
| Role | Recon / Support / Flanker |
🧩 Placement in Tech Tree
It could be placed around BR 8.0–9.0, likely after the M3 Bradley and before or alongside the M1128 Stryker.
📌 Conclusion
The LAV-25 is a fast, iconic and battle-proven vehicle that brings a new dimension to U.S. ground forces. Its addition would enhance gameplay variety, reinforce historical authenticity, and align with the game’s ongoing shift toward modern combined arms combat.

Did you take the effort to write this yourself? Or did you ask something else? Because if you’re not doing it yourself it seems disingenuous.
Also, make a suggestion on the relevant page instead: Suggestions.
