I really dislike standardization.  Trying to
consolidate too many roles on an all-singing,
all-dancing single vehicle ends up with compromises
like the Bradley which not completely awful at
anything, but not really good at anything either.

Size 4 is just too expensive per hull.	I have 1-2 BNs
of those per first-line division, and 1 company per
second-line division.

WTF?  Why would you want to stick that much
money/points in one hull?  You want it to do
everything?  You can't fit a decent PDS on it, and you
can't afford to stealth it at all. . . And at a
minimum, no bells and whistles, it is running about
the same as my size 3 medium grav tanks with stealth,
basic PDS, maxed out firecon and ECM, and APFCs.  Oh,
and an MDC/4 which is almost certain to punch size 5
armor.
