Seems odd though, how an M113 can be used as an ammo carrier when you compare its size to other APC of similar size from different countries.

The M113 ammo is a dedicated conversion try googing & probably relativly straight forward as its a tin box on tracks but as mentioned before size is not the issue they could all carry some its access as in ease of un/loading & securing it. Nice hatch arrangement not a problem but look at some APCs the means of egress is not great. If you wanted to push it could have that tops up at 25% of the rate of a dedicated vehicle & always goes bang if its hit but then you would not buy it. Strangely using the APC to carry an ammo cannister sort of simulates this. The truth is in game terms cant see the point they are a very rare casualty you dont try & reload when under fire its a job done out of harms way.

I guess we will have to agree on disagreeing. I am still standing by my argument that in game terms it’s totally doable.

Strange statement or I am misreading, yes its doable so is an armored penguin for that matter just not realistic according to people I trust to know. Your initial comment was something like for play balance all nations should have one. By that rational they should all have APCs attack helos CM arty etc. Sorry not trying to be antogonistic & yes it is a game but the sides have the equipment they field & balance is achieved by points allocation as a huge nod to that fact.
