I've allways thought these were sort of under-armed without a missile launcher or chaingun or something. Or am i underestimating the power of that 40mm grenade launcher?
@peepeevagi The vehicle itself has the Browning .50 cal and the 40mm but you aren't taking into account what the grunts have. In Iraq we had 4 grunts on each side with M16a4s and a SAW gunner. Not to mention the AT4s and SMAWs inside. We carried PLENTY of firepower.
@peepeevagi its a landing craft, its job is to carry troops to shore, not be a weapons platform... im sure they have similar vehicles that trade their ability to carry infantry for larger more powerful weapons
@101andrewj But you have to think of how herp-derp our military is with using equipment. AAV's do more than just land infantry. They're expected to give fire support and advance with the troops. It's why you see them driving around in the middle east, far from any body of water, patrolling around.
Our military isn't too bright like that. I mean, we send MBT's where IFV's should be, use uparmored humvees in MRAP territory, and we use the somewhat underpowered fifty cal to this day. Derp -_-
@peepeevagi why you see them driving around the middle east is because american military command is fucking dumb, and buys too many of these things and not enough asymmetric warfare vehicles and then they have to borrow from other places and you end up in a AAV in downtown baghdad... and when it finally comes time for america to do another amphibious landing on a island, all they will probably have is stryker MGS and m117s

Now I see why the RAM/RS was so crucial to retaining the LVT's ground clearence. I'd like to see a Stryker try that.
