Lord Strathconas Horse (Royal Canadians) // Lav Coyote

I'm pretty sure the Americans have this also. It would be really handy to have a Lav that can stay hull down and look over some hills to direct incoming fire. Used effectively this would be a fun new addition to the fight.

What do you guys think?

A Lav Coyote is basically a LAV-25 with the addition of the surveillance system. Now you might ask "hey why don't we just add the surveillance system to the back?". Will that can't be done. DICE LAV-25 model can't be touched since it's not ours so it would require the task of remodeling the LAV-25 to have this system added (at least in resemblance).

Ahh I see, is anyone in the CF mod remodeling the LAV? Would the work required not be worth it? It would certainly come in handy a lot I'm sure and really enhance armour teamwork.

I'm curious as to ask then how come the TOW pods on DICE's LAV-25 were removed? Isn't that a modification ("touch") of the model as well?

Get your facts straight, the TOW missile luncher is a separate object on the vehicle much like the M2 Machine gun on the Humvees. The main model can’t be manipulated in design and form.

But doesn't that mean that the surveillance system could be added to the model as a child? This seems to me that it would satisfy the conditions, and be relatively easy.

Anyhow, ignoring the feasability, I don't know that LAV-25s for the USMC actually deploy with this system. Global Security has nothing on it, and I just don't feel like searching that hard. If someone comes up with something that supports adding it I'm all for it, but I've never seen the system on a USMC LAV.

Well then, a Canadian only toy is fine.

from what i understand, the TOW launchers are still there actually, the DEVs just coded them so they dont render. basically they made them invisible
