Rame Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 For those who may be interested. Some improvising had to be done as far as unit types. Its probably tedious for MajorH to keep track of various vehicle mods and varients per nationality and incorporate them. Especially Engineer, Munitions and Maintenance vehicles.

MajorH TacOps Developer Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 Good info. Thanks. >Some improvising had to be done as far as >unit types. What is missing from the data base that would have been useful? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rame Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 Due to the trend of Armed Forces around the world looking for more mobile and air transportable vehicles, Canada has tried to do the same while saving costs. Vehicles like the Bison APC have been modified for other duties. Here is a list of a couple of variants of the Bison as well as some other vehicles in Canadian use: Bison MRV (Mobile Recovery Vehicle) Dubbed "Buffalo" by the troops. Required to tow the LAV III & Coyote & other Bison vehicles. Husky ARV's are to small to do it. Bison MRT (Mobile Repair Team) or Maintenance Vehicle Bison SEV (Special Equipment Vehicle) or Combat Engineering Vehicle. Can mount the same dozer blade as the MRT Bison Munitions Carrier Looks just like a regular Bison. Used sometimes to tow 105mm LG1 MkII field guns and carry their ammo. Some other vehicle types: Brizzly (Grizzly CP or Grizzly Comand Post) This vehicle was created to allow Bison CP's to be re-roled to other duties such as the Bison Ambulance. The Grizzly Ambulance has been abandoned due to not enough room, hence more Bison Ambulances were required. This is where the Brizzly fits in as the new type of vehicle CP replacing Bison CP's. The Brizzly uses the same wheel base as the Grizzly but has the body lengthened somewhat, turret is removed and it now weighs 900kg more the the Grizzly. Aardvark Mine Flail vehicle. The US Marines apparently use or did use some of these as well. Mamba MPV & Nyala MPV (Mine Protected Vehicles) Engineers use these as route scouting vehicles. Maybe to simplify the possible additions, the Bison and Grizzly modified vehicles can be easier additons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
