APC or FAV?

Question

Lancs Lad, very much so..Visited your last question and partook I sugest any other Brits check his question....

my Avatar....It is a Land Rover....L.R.D.P.G..Pink Panther..

me thinks there is confusion Warrior AFV..is not what I'm asking here's a link be it poor these babys are still quite secretive and not well publicized........http://www.chenowth.com/FAV.html

Very small in numbers in the British Army and known as Fast Assault Vehicle..Or FAV..

Answer 1

I'm a squaddie mate, definitely fast assault, in and out before the fuckers knew what hit them.

Answer 2

This is sort of like the Abrams vs Challenger debates.

It depends upon what you want and where you're going and with what army...And as always, it comes down to crew quality.

Both have been rated very highly with one nudging the other in one category, and switching in others. The Warrior is cheaper than the Bradley and has a better (30mm) main gun than the Bradley (25mm), but the Warrior doesn't have the TOWs that the Bradley has. Since my IFV might end up seeing a tank, I'd surely like some way to get rid of him before he gets rid of me.

Like I said - depends on the circumstances.

Since the Brad comes with TOW and the rest of the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, I'll go with that. No slight to the Brits, but we're a lot bigger and meaner than they are - Their budget's been cut too often and it's hurting them. But if it comes to going to war with allies? I'll take the Brits, Aussies, Kiwis and the rest at my side any day!


EDIT:
AHHH!! I made the same mistake Lancs Lad did - Well, again, what are the circumstances? But boy, that speed and flexibility is nice for the FAV's. If I recall, they had some transmission problems early on (so did the Brads!) but it's not going to carry as much ammo or as many troopers as the Bradley, nor will it have the TOWs or a stabilized 25mm turret...But it'll be a harder target to track and hit. Am I raiding? I want the FAV. Am I moving up to the FLOT? I'll take the Brad or the Warrior.

Answer 3

The Warrior FAV

PS its the Fighting Armoured Veichle for the British Army for the Americans who just look and go, Huh? A warrior? Isnt that out of a fairy tale?. The asker is British I think as his picture is a Land rover

Answer 4

Speed isn't all ways a consideration. pure self defencive armour is often a life saver and so,, lightly armoured pink panther land rovers wouldn't be my choice , in some situations.. I think on the whole id rather have a Bradley,or warrior, than either a Humvee or land rover

Answer 5

UAV- Urban Assault Vehicle.For LA-Los Angeles.

Answer 6

If we can't tell the difference goodness knows how some American soldier could stop himself shelling it and whooping in delight afterwards.

Answer 7

APC, with heavy armour and armaments
