The bundeswehr can't be wrong....

David the cheeky said:
In fact, our MK II has almost the same 
turret design as the Wiesel with the 20mm 
autocannon. If the Bundeswehr can make
one, so can we, :p (insert one wet 
raspberry).

[Tomb] Pardon David, but there is at least 
one absolutely KEY difference between 
your designs and those of the wiesel 
pictured in the link from Karl (nice link). My 
major complaint with your design (and, just 
so no one things I'm slagging David or 
DLD, I own 2 25mm civets, 6 25mm 
Kamodos) is in the open fighting 
compartment. The Wiesel has driver and 
gunner under armour (or at least the driver 
mostly.... the gunner might pop out the 
top, I don't know). Your design features a 
driver just begging to be slain by the first 
second rate militiaman with an obsolete 
AR. THAT is my main beef. Develop a Mk 
III which is the Mark I or II only with an 
armour plated driver compartment, and 
we'll maybe do some more business. I'd 
_like_ to see a viable 25mm rendition of 
the British Scorpion (options for a 30mm 
and a 76mm LPG or a missile system) as 
an ARV. Light, fast tracked is fine for 
Recce, but they should have armour for the 
crew to stop small arms. 

Tomb. 
PS - David, I hope you can make ECC one 
day.... Your stuff was in evidence in several 
places and is likely to appear in a lot more 
next year :)
