M113A3/MTVL

I've read that since the Canadian Forces have encountered a variety of issues with the LAV-III's they're starting to bring back the M113's. One main problem with the LAV's is the wheels. These vehicles tend to get stuck in the mud and it aint easy pulling out a 17 Ton vehicle.
Hers a Quote from the Canadian Army website:
Quote:
M113A3

The M113 is being refurbished and upgraded into seven new variants of mechanized support vehicles. They will be used as combat support and combat service support vehicles with the new LAV III fleet. The following nine variants will be fielded:
M113A3 Personnel carrier with Remote Weapon System (RWS)
M113A3 Personnel carrier with One Metre Turret
M113A3 Mobile Repair Team
M577A3 Command Post
MTVL Basic Personnel Carrier / Light Re-supply
MTVC Heavy Re-supply
MTVE Engineer Vehicle
MTVF Fitter (Repair) Vehicle
MTVR Recovery Vehicle

Anyway since Eve Of Destruction mod is also part of Black Sand Studios and they have already modeled the older M113 variant, is it possible to ask them to use their model for PR's Canadian Forces faction?
There isn’t much of a visual difference between the original M113 used in Vietnam war and the M113A3 used by the Canadian Forces. Other than the standard A3 improvements, the Canadian Army has also given the vehicle more horsepower.

SOo... it’s been like two weeks since I made this suggestion, and it still remains deserted. Have people missed it or something?

Anyways, since the Canadian Military is going back to tracks, are we going to see the M113A3 for the Canadian Forces faction? Would it be possible to ask Eve of Destruction developers for their model?

If not, then I'd have to start modeling one, cause I would love to see the M113A3 alongside the LAV-III for the Canadian Forces.

Didn't say it was or it should replace the LAV-III's role in action. The Canadian Forces aren't planning to get rid of the LAV-III for the M113A3's, but they're planning to have both the vehicles fight alongside one another. The M113A3 provides better mobility and protection, while the LAV-III provides better firepower.

I love the old school'ness of the M113... just gotta give these guys a break and let them get some early and easy successes under their belts, then expand on it from there.

Cheers!

What does this have to do with the topic?

Anyway, it'd be nice if you can get the M113, because Taiwan needs it too.

I know nothing about Canada, but I think you should catch up with your Canadian history.

The M113 brings back memories from WWII.

If you are reading this dont stop, cause if you do, I'll kick you in the balls.
