Target! Amen! That's why I hated being in arty. All the damn trucks. Airborne infantry - we had 1 Hummer, and it was rarely used in the field, and didn't go to combat (we stole a Chevy C-10 for that...lol).
I'm not a big fan of the Stryker. It lacks amphibious capabilities, among others. A tracked vehicle is going to have better mobility over a greater range of terrain than a wheeled vehicle.
Well put. In combat, trucks are targets usually because they're carrying supplies, but on top of that they are usually not well-protected and/or well-armed. Sounds an awful lot like the Stryker...
EM-50 Urban Assault vehicle looks bad ass! lol.
Although it probably wouldn't work, like the idea of having shields guard the wheels though. Nice idea.

Wheel covers don't fix the basic immobility and vulnerability of wheeled trucks.

I don't believe there is any Chevy C-10s in the army.

You believe wrong. Look up CUCV.

"Truck (Noun): Any of various wheeled frames used for transporting heavy objects."
In the context of the Stryker, I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read that.

That's the Lost in Space tv theme.
