Finrod, re read my post please.
The role of the Bradley is to....
A.Safely transport Infantry to critical locations on the battlefield.
B.
Provide fire support to cover their dismounted operations, and
C.Destroy enemy tanks and other vehicles that may threaten the Infantry it carries.
It accomplishes only part of A (need more bradleys than M113's due to only being able 6 troops), it does however have a lot more protection than an M113
B. now this is my main concern, like I said in my last post, the bushmaster is good against infantry in the open and light vehicle ( ya I guess it could penetrate something like a T-62 from the rear), It can hardly deal with troops in say a concrete building like a 100MM HE/HEAT could. Let's take it in the context of what we're all familiar with, WWII (
) what half track would you rather have supporting you, an m3 with a single .50 Cal, or say a Sd.Kfz.251/9 (7.5cm) with a nice short barreled 75MM?
It covers C very well, the TOW missile is an excellent weapon.
oh and I've never had the pleasure/displeasure of sitting in a BMP-3 , so I wouldn't know, but on paper it seems like it's a better concept.
