Fallout Re: APC Development and related topics.

I expect we'll see the ACV 1.1 come into fruition within the new end date expected in the next patch, ACV 1.2 towards the end but, this next if I may quote one of the great heroes in all of history!!!!....this next will continue "INTO INFINITY AND BEYOND!" - BUZZ LIGHTYEAR. Given it's long history and now the probability is this vehicle will be around to the end of the 2020's if not 2030+. ACV 1.1 was never meant to replace the the AAV but to only to augment it. The replacement will come from the ACV 1.2 competition winner whose costs are rising at about 11-12 million dollars per unit still a little less than 1/2 the cost of the EFV. Here's your article...

For my USMC friend out here this morning was a 234/240 (She'll know what I mean.) seven years in a row @ 230+, I think I'm almost ready to take you on at the range!?! But somehow I expect you'd find a way to "legally" shoot over 240!

Still not a 1911 COLT .45 though.

Regards,
Pat
