    should use Lynx in its APC variant as M113 replacement and Lynx OMFV in as M2 Bradley replacement

      The Bradley will never be replaced. 80% of a vehicles effectiveness determines on if it looks cool. Skilled crew members will volunteer for a vehicle that looks cool. Lynx looks gay

        so? Lynx in its APC configuration would be a good replacement for the M113, OMFV configuration would be good to replace the Bradley
        parts commonality would improve logistics and probably make the vehicle cheaper

        It’s almost a guarantee that OMFV will be the redback

          >parts commonality would improve logistics and probably make the vehicle cheaper
          except you're thinking in terms of Lynx commonality, when you should also be thinking US-wide commonality

          if they went with Lynx, American manufacturers would have to adopt German parts, and unless GDLS is really shit out of ideas and have to do the expensive R&D work from scratch, they'd be better off iterating from what's already designed and built in the USA

          as it stands, AMPV now has commonality with Bradley IFVs and that will be significant savings. OMFV can be the start of a new family. It's not likely that the US Army absolutely NEEDS their back-end APCs to have all the gubbins of the future OMFV chassis - this is one of the big criticisms of all those Boxer variants, some of which are clearly extraneous

            Agreed. And low rate initial production on the ampv is 450 vehicles. The US needs a lot of hulls and neither Germany nor South Korea can provide them

      It's a bit moronic tbh. It offers commonality with the Bradley for replacement parts, but the Bradley is being replaced. Should probably have just gone with the Ares, that way we would have common parts for MPF (Griffin II) and probably OMFV (Which is probably going to be Griffin III, regardless of what this autist posts)

        Stryker DVH is miles away from LAV III and even further removed from Piranha. In fact now it is Piranha V which is based off Stryker.

    As you said, it's a replacement for the m113. It's a box on tracks that's supposed to dump troops and ammo from one place to the other, and hopefully survive small arms and light explosives.
    If it does that somewhat better than the m113, it's a success. Not necessarily based or cringe, just a neutral update to replace aging equipment. It's not gonna make or break any conflict, but it's nice to have something a bit newer.

    The AMPV unnecessarily pisses me off. It is a mildly upgraded Bradley chassis 40 years after the Brad was introduced. When I was first briefed on getting these we were told it would be a completely new "future-proof" design etc etc. Yet it's the same 40 year old suspension. At least give it rubber tracks or something. It is a hell of a lot better than an M113, but bottom line it's still a modernized Bradley without a turret. That's a concept we could have made 40 years ago and be on to an actual new iteration of both an IVF (OMPF) and an APC. Instead we will have a new IVF...maybe...and an APC that's basically a legacy design with some software updates.
    I hope I'm wrong because I haven't messed with them in person, but it still makes me mad.

      it's basically quality-of-life improvements over the M113 using an existing chassis to minimise costs and maximise commonality moving forward

      nothing wrong with that for your second-line APC, imho
