    Well, 50% increase in volume from doesn't seem bigger, but it is.
Also,
when you have a M113 and use the hull design to make a M901 ITV, VSC:2
is
exactly right. VSC:2 for the M113 mortar carrier is exactly right. So
based
on my designs and the realworld vehicle modifications, VSC:2 is about
right
for the M113.
