Favorite/Best tracked AFV

[Shadowalker]

Ive already done a wheeled now for a tracked poll.

Bit of info in case your unsure of what each one is.

The CV90 is probably the best one out there. It has excellent mobility, decent protection, and a big gun.

My favourite tracked AFV/APC is the M113, they are no longer good.... But I like 'em. Personal opinion though.

 

[SHERMAN]

The only problem with the M113 is that its not a armored....Its called an APC, when really, it cant een protect against .50 rounds...

 

[AussieNick]

I realise they aren't up to spec, but they I just have a soft spot for them

 

[visser]

i like cv90s too

 

[rocco]

the m113 have been uparmored and although old can perform just as well as any other apc

 

[Snauhi]

BMP3 and CV903 look best of those all.

 

[C/Cpl. Chirico]

Gotta go with the Bradley, cant say much for the CV90.

 

[Armyjaeger]

I'll go with CV90, I haven't been inside of it but I've seen them kicking up snow pretty good. BMP 3 seems good too but I wouldn't like to be in the same cramped space with couple of dozen explosive 100mm cannon shells :shock:

 

[Kozzy Mozzy]

You should vote the BMP-3 if you like the explode a lot.

Question: Are the fuel cells still stored in the rear doors of the BMP-3? It was found in the BMP-1 that they would catch fire and prevent the crew from escaping. It kinda sucks when you're hit and you want to get out the rear door and the door is on fire.

What about the Marder series? I know they're getting on a bit but they are comparable in role and ability to the BMP/Warrior/Bradley vehicles.

I like the Puma myself.

How about Type89 from Japan?

The Puma looks to be a very good vehicle, developed by 2 of the best companies in the world at designing armoured vehicles!
My personal favourite is the CV90, but the bradley, warrior are combat proven and the ASCOD looks gd!

 

[Whispering Death]

I'm a fan of the CV90

 

[Pyro]

i say the CV90 is currently the best right now in the world.

Actually its wrong to enter the BMP3 in the APC vote, since it is an IFV.
To club the BMP3 with tha Bradley is not fair to either, the M2/3 was developed to improve on the M113s armour protection and lack of fire power.
The BMP3 surpasses all the above in -
- Low sheloutte.
- Mobility.
- Water fording capability.
- Fire power.

To club the BMP3 with tha Bradly is not fair to either.
The Bradly is a battle taxi, period. You can not use it to hold ground or provide any fire power.
Where as the BMP3 type for vehicles are Infantry Fighting Vehicles. They hold their own and APCs don't compare to them.

You're kidding, right? I know OTOH that the BMP has a 100mm cannon (and bradley doesn't) but to say that you can hold ground with it is insane. It only takes one good missile-like with the bradley...you see where I'm trying to go with this?

What ever is fielded can be destroyed. I'm talking of capability for a given task.

The Bradly is armed with two TOW missiles each of which can hit a target 3.75 miles away.

The smaller but much faster firing main gun is better suited for infantry support.

Not to mention the optics on a Bradley vs. a BMP which is the key in vehicle survivability on the modern battlefield.

Therefore I conclude that the Bradley is a far superior IFV to the outdated BMP.

But I still think the CV90 is a better design than the Bradley.
