Sunderer

[Gugabalog]

Does anyone else think the Sunderer will basically function like an MRAPS with a dual CROWS system? Any ideas on its combat doctrine?

The sunderer is indeed designed to stop freight trains dead in their tracks. How well it will fare against mines however, is still yet to be seen.

And yeah... let's not assume people know what most military acronyms are, or that they should have to use wikipedia to figure it out, especially if you're looking for an answer or meaningful discussion.

Well the sunderer is fast, pretty well armored and if certed right can ferry around twenty mechanized infantrymen. The sunderer is the battle taxi of death.

I suppose. I'm just so jaded by a certain kind of forum member...

Probably, it looks a lot like a Wisent

I like to think of sundy's as stryker's really.. Customizable weapons on it and it can carry 2 squads into battle with overwatch fire support on a mobile platform.

So I have to ask, did this topic come up for discussion because you are genuinely curious, or because you wanted to grow your epeen?

Honestly, the Sunderer strikes me as a Stryker unit. PS1 came out with mine clearing and CY shield piercing abilities allowing it to storm into court yards and deploy troops right next to the door, but it's use was limited in a lot of ways.

Including necessary information in your post is your friend*

Beta will show us because none of us know or are even allowed to say. But im fairly certain they will take damage from all explosives.

I am genuinely curious. Also, I think of the Lightning as more of a Stryker than of the Sunderer as such.

It was assumed that people who were either interested enough to comment would look it up or would already have enough familiarity with military doctrines and equipment that they would be able to provide insight.

Lightning is a 1 man vehicle while a sundy is like a stryker in real life.. Designed to carry squads into combat and provide firepower cover for deployment and retrievel

[Gugabalog]

I know that the Stryker is a deployment vehicle as well, but combat wise the Lightning seems to fulfill that role better i.e. what the two vehicles have as armaments.
