Something heavily armored, but completely unarmed. Something of a breakthrough vehicle. I don't mean something like the LAVs that we have now, more like a land version of the dropship, but, well, what I said before.
Thoughts? |

Well, APCs are typically armed, at least in some way, which is why I didn't call it that. I just feel like a relatively cheap, very sturdy vehicle that can be fitted with various modules to support infantry, withstand sustained fire, or spawn infantry has numerous uses, one of which is breaking past a spawn trap. |

I dunno, I just feel like arming it would take away the role of LAVs, and if it were armed, then you wouldn't really be able to armor it enough to serve as a breakthrough. |

Well, I see them more as corporate tools. No practical use outside of coordinated teams. |

Also, with the maps getting bigger, I can see the need to move troops around quickly without too much fear of swarms. |

Even HAVs don't have quite the sturdiness I'm thinking of. I figure we need a dedicated transport, slower and less maneuverable than a dropship, but tougher. |

Tanks don't have the troop capacity to be effective in that role though. |

Slower and less maneuverable wouldn't be good. Remove weapon systems, it should get cloaking. It should be a sort of hovercraft. It can easily maneuver around bumpy terrain, but at the same time, it doesn't have the power to fly. It could be less expensive than dropships, because of it, and at the same time carry troops around the battlefield. (But if transports are added, squad leaders in a transport, even if the driver isn't in their squad, should be able to view squad rallies for any squad members in the vehicle.)
The whole point of the idea though is a heavily armored vehicle to move infantry around. If it was maneuverable or fast, let alone invisible, it would be a bit too hard to kill. |

Not Gunner = driver and Driver = Gunner and turrets = lolwut?
Yeah, but I've never been a fan of that idea. |
