You're obviously using the wrong IFVs, then. Get a platoon of CV90120s
- with a nastier main guns than the M1A2 or Leopard 2S, and still
enough room for a 6-man squad (IIRC, might be 8-man instead), and at a
fraction of the price... and make sure you get to fire first ;-)
...'course, this is another modern combat vehicle which can't be built
in DSII. You can't fit both a turreted class 4 gun *and* an infantry
squad in a size-3 vehicle :-( You can simulate it by giving it extra
stealth levels, but a CV90 isn't big enough to rate size 4 IMO <sigh>
