105mm low velo gun plus sufficient space for ammo? or
155mm?
That being the case, then Terrax is definitely has went up my
charts of good Wheel Modular IFVs.
Now I can also imagine our AMX10 replacements right away is the
terrax.
That low key Bn probably has RODed/going to ROd by now.
The terrax with it's multi purpose built turret will be a great
descendant.
Regarding why we dont use Bronco for real armoured ops
1) armour is very low, very very low.
2) It's a 2 piece vehicle Not very practical for frontline
assault. Some joker just break the link and the vehicle's
kaput.
3) I heard from my friend who drove in one, the water goes into
the vehicle when they do crossing.... Like knee level.
Advantages of bronco. It's fast. Very very fast. It can go from
off road to wet/soft ground and back out.
Our M113s are getting really old. Not to mention, we can only
repair and cannabilise the vehicles. It's not like we can build new
M113s. (Also, the capabilities of the M113 can be read out
like a bible by now. No matter how much you modify it, the
limitations are there.)
M113s armour/powerpack/internal space is getting very
insufficient for the new SAF and the aggressors we face.
Even during my(a few years back) time they are already
going to phase out M113s armoured units we were told we are going
to be the last few batches. So while the vehicles themselves
will be around for another good 10 years, there wont be many of
them left since the Bxs are being churned out.
m113s are great for mortar/ada and track support vehicles
though. it's a good workhorse.
