Strykers?

Deuce6 · 03-30-2006, 07:39 PM

I know i'm a little biased going to combat in one, but it's a GREAT vehicle. It's pretty much a LAV without the turret. There's a remote weapon system with a mounted 50 cal. (I'm sure that won't be included) It can survive RPG shots with the slat armor, but it's still vulnerable to anti-tank weapons like the AT-4 or an MBT. It can carry an entire squad. A crew of 2, and two fireteams. Although i'm sure there won't be a need for the vehicle commander because in the game the driver is usually both.

Opinions?

Stryker would be nice for US Army maps (if the devs plan to add any)

In fact, I'd love to see the Stryker

It can also be fitted with the mark 19 automatic grenade laucher. Which can be used in both the direct fire mode and the indirect fire mode (almost like a mortar, basically a lob shot).

Yea of course, but since we don't have Mark 19's in the game, I just left that out.

Deuce6 · 03-30-2006, 07:46 PM

But yea, it doesn't really have an overpowering presence like a tank or a LAV in the game. But it would be great for a different kind of transport. Especially if you need to get your ENTIRE squad to a certain point. And you could have 4 people out of the airgaurd hatches to defend the vehicle.

Sounds awesome. And they'd be wearing the new Army uniforms ^_^

ack!

What's wrong with 'em?

would love to see this put into the game although i wonder if AT class should be allowed to ride it. i read some report saying the interior is quite cramped, just about enough room for geared up soldiers but AT weapons would certainly be a challenge to squezze in.

I think they would be great. I hate the LV thingy, much prefer the Bradly but i do not mind team vehicle differences. eg. US has 3 tracked vehicles while MECS have 2 = dont care
I think the Styker would be great. Provide more protection that a hunvee, but still have good speed as well as fire power. It is perfect - no one can complain it is too strong, or too powerfull (should be only able to take 2 rocket and have a automatic 50 or something similar + smoke grenades).

If possible it should carry 8. A driver and commander/gunner man and a whole squad. It would be so cool if the doors at the rear really opened and you clambered out! But i realise there might be problems due to the crappy ness of the BF2 engine.
