If I have an SF-76 or other legit proof of ownership, I CAN fucking title a tank in the US. You can buy tanks in the US, but ITAR and the government being dicks means most collector AFV are imported.

Most practical, go-anywhere off road AFV is an uparmored M113A3. I want that in an MTLV version but without the stupid turret. I want Soucy rubber band tracks, Davis active suspension instead of torsion bars, TOW launcher, 30mm ATK cannon on RWS, all the C4ISR and imaging gear I can fit, and Trophy APS system for defense. Engine is replaced by hub motors and a hybrid battery system allowing stealth loiter and slave cable recharge from similar vehicles if needed. Power supplied by two external, but armored, modular small turbine APUs. Entire fuel system is protected but external. APUs can be spun by their starter motor to cool them for thermal signature reduction. SAAB IR camo netting all over this motherfucker. Fuel/ammo/supply trailer has pump for scavenging and filters. Hitch has quick detach so trailer can be jettisoned from under armor while under way if fired on. Detachable ballistic vee-hull reduced mine damage, but I'd avoid roads where likely anyway. Floor space freed by suspension swap would be used for improved hybrid armor.

Funding didn't happen or this would exist. All the parts are COTS/MOTS. If I hit the lottery I'd build one to prove the point GCV was an even bigger failed joke than it already is.

Petrol can be filtered, separated from water by gravity, (we used to drain gas tanks in the salvage yard where I worked into clean tubs, let the nasty shit sink, then run the good stuff in all our vehicles) or distilled. Ghetto gasoline is made in third world countries all the time, and oil fields would still exist.

Syrians in Aleppo are making fuel from waste oil and plastic. There would be plenty of both in an apocalypse.

No, which is why I'll murder any potential threats. I can feed them to my chickens or eat them.

>>16229681
Making the rounds and draining the other tanks is easy enough. If you have electrical power you can hook a schrader valve from a fuel pressure tester and let the car suck itself dry, than carry off charged battery if want.

Tools and equipment will survive. They do IRL.

Nice A3 vidya. Australia operates in jungle, where the US will never go again.

Viet Nam still use theirs, and rejected an Israeli uparmoring offer because they prefer combat mobility and know what to do with a track.

The other part of our aborted project was chopping and channeling an M113 hull to fit CH-47. Repower would allow narrowing it, and shortening by one road wheel would solve the length. Today the US has zero helicopter mobile tracked firepower and no helicopter mobile AFVs. Contrast with Russian airborne modernization for laughs. Result is US infantry become pedestrians once off their helicopters. The Battle of Marjah shows what happens when you fight at near parity with muj. They fight for a bit then escape.

>>16229818
Cab is porous to small arms fire. No runflats. Naked fuel tanks. Poor turning radius. Long wheelbase high-centers surmounting obstacles. Not all wheel drive. Plow reduces ground clearance.

No offensive weapons. Gunners in back would be poorly protected.

Good payload, simple maintenance, but road clearance would be better served with a conventional plow or bucket and hydraulics.

There has never been much point is using a helicopter to airlift anything heavier than a humvee because a vehicle light enough to air lift is probably going to be vulnerable small arms and .50cals anyway. The Russians just feel the need to attach a 30mm chain gun to everything. Problem with mounting a big gun on such a light vehicle is that when it gets hit you can't dismount a 30mm, where as you can dismount a Mk.19 or M2.

Wheeled is a huge advantage over tracked because

Vs
>tread repair takes multiple hours

>vehicle with tires speed >>> vehicle with treads speed

Plus many of these troop transports are amphibious as the top of the wheel stays out of the water when afloat so wheel movement will move the transport slowly in water.

Also, I'd like to think I can drive well enough to avoid any huge flood.
Also, many tracked vehicles will not float.

>Lets say you have unlimited funds.
You have three requirements:

1. USEFULNESS.
If it is not able to carry and do everything you need to live on a continual unsupported basis, then you need to keep on modding. It must be able to travel roads and push/tow obstacles out of the way. Getting stuck in a ditch or mud is going to happen multiple times, so you must have options to solve those situations.

2. ZOMBIE RESISTANCE:
You want nothing on the outside as handles for zombies to keep staying on. Windows need both bars and mesh. Eventually all your glass will be broken including the windshield, so your vehicle must still be zombie proof with no glass. Your vehicle will hit zombies so it must remain drivable even if it hits a human or kangaroo-sized object.

3. SECURITY:
If no other people are alive but you, then fuel economy because you will move from zone to zone to forage for enough stocks. Otherwise, your greatest enemy will be other people and not zombies. If you have a great vehicle, even a fortress enclave might kill you just to add the vehicle to their tool set or keep you from going to a different enclave and using your vehicle on their behalf. The worst will be the highly racist melanin monsters of the night. They already hate everyone as if they were zombies of a sort.
