Discussing Heavy Armored Vehicles in here.


* What role should they play in the general action?
* Must thay appear at Tier 1 or at Tier 2?
* Types of upgrades made to them
* Counteracting units (AT guys)
* Cost, build time, etc.

The very first one:
M2A3 Bradley IFV. Any suggestions?

The Bradley should be able to switch between a 25mm cannon or TOW missiles and should carry 6 infantry. It should probably be a tier 1 unit though the Stryker MGS might be good for that position too.

Well, i am a sort of military expert onboard, at least when it comes to material part, so our units are going to be as authentic as it is possible to achieve in a game. What we really would like to know is how do you see balance, teching, and all that comes only with a game. Though we will do as we like in the end, it is always better to have a base of suggestions.

I don't really think the Bradley can be considered a "Heavy Armored Vehicle", i haven't seen any nation in our time that uses this concept except for Israel with its tank-based APC's that are special for urban conflicts and LIC (Low Intensity Combat) tactics, vehicles like the "Achzarit" (heavy APC unit based on the T-55), "Puma" and "Nagmachon" (Centurion tank based engineer vehicles and carriers) and the new adoptable "Namer" that is based on Merkava 3 and 4 tank hulls.
Bradleys are fighting vehicles and i don't think they are near thouse things above, these vehicles are supposed to be working a lot with tanks and support them on the battlefield, the whole concept of vehicles like the Bradley is cavalry support, totally different mission.

You didn't get it, tank is a heavy armored vehicle as well.
But, i guess this thread is pointless anyway.
