IMHO, autocannon are fine, but AT missles are over the
top. Instead of a TOWII launcher on a Bradley, a
Javelin launcher with 2-3 rounds would be a better
idea, with the extra space used to add another
dismount (or two). On the other hand, as much _armor_
as you can handle. Turretless obsolete MBTs are good
if you don't need a lot of transportability.
