I had an idea for an APC like this.
Instead of having all this shit integral, just make an engine with suspension and wheels.
Then you can use it as whatever.
They could probably chuck a SPAAG system on that in like a week.
Or a high caliber gun.
>>
Could it stop an RPG? or even .50?
>>
>>33349366
Rheinmetall is already making pretty much this, besides that there is no need for a high caliber gun at the moment, so they don't build that.

>there is no need for a high caliber gun at the moment, so they don't build that.
yeah, this is the problem with American engineering.
they build for what they need right now, not what they might need in the future.

and 'what they need now' is code for what they needed 10 years ago.
at least in the USMC.
in the army the gap is 20 years for most things, 70 for other.

They keep that shit under wraps until it's needed for "right now".

Rheinmetall could slap a 120mm on that thing any second if they wanted to, but it's not needed for German doctrines. And there is not export market

Exactly. They could throw it on there and have it ready in under 6 months.

It America years to nigger rig a 105mm stryker.

If it was so easy to do it Rheinmetall would already have made one to offer for sale.

People who complain that a M1128 isn't a tank are the same people you see trying to smash a square peg into a round hole.
>>
>>33350117
No market

>>33350117
It's not a tank. It's not supposed to be a tank. It's just for infantry support.

>People who complain that a M1128 isn't a tank are the same people you see trying to smash a square peg into a round hole.

Well functionally it's the same as a tank.

i.e. a gun on wheels.

But it falls short of being armored enough to do any tank vs tank action.

It wouldve fit Canada though seeing as the Lav III/stryker was already in use
>>
>>33350141
You mean Rheinmetall hasn't chosen to enter the market that many of its competitors already have.

And 'no market' has never stopped Rheinmetall in the past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAmnBPn0VM8

>>33350287
The question is if it could do anything a AMX-10 or a stryker can't do cheaper, we might see a proof of concept at some point, but the MK30 will probably the biggest gun in serial production
>>
>>33349225
It's built to transport as many Germans as possible to the mosque.
