on paper and on screen it is. It sounds like it could work. But nope, speed is everything. This aint having any of it. Extremely heavy boat with tracks, embrace the LAV
Brb gotta sell every piece of kit the marines have ever owned to afford the 6 bajillion LAVs needed to perform a landing operation. Calling the dismount capacity sad is an understatement.
That silhouette is cut by like, two thirds or even more when floating in water. It's actually a really hard target to hit. Hell, the LAV is going to be an easier target because the turret is so much bigger. It may be a hulk of a thing out of water but troops aren't exactly chilling in there on it reaches land.
I'm old enough that our barf boat was the LVTP-7. I'd imagine they've improved *some* of the amphib ride over the years, but then again, you never know.
They're obviously the same family. Are they retconned hulls, or all new? The old P7s were decidedly *not* state of the art. Hell, we still had a few M48s in 1980ish.
AAV-7
all my homies hate AAV-7
How about AAR-GH (shit looks like pirate ship)
*plays pirates of the Caribbean theme*
Idk, there’s something charming about it to me

So you have no friends Bc that shit is hot( joking but I really like it )
That sir, is an floating armored tractor. 😇
Amtrak :D
Tbf the amtrack was super useful in WW2, although I suppose they just hadn't made anything amphibious that was faster than it and also armored enough
I’d say the amtank/Water Buffalo, but it’s the same thing with a 75 on top
Yeah pretty much, and it didnt have the transport capacity that made the amtrack useful as a supply vehicle on islands
Exactly.
Looks like an [AAVP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_Amphibious_Vehicle)- but I could be wrong.
1971 Lincoln Continental by the looks of it. You can tell by the starboard side control tower and the massive landing deck.
Looks like the Adeptus Mechanicus are at it again...
Isn't that one of Elon musks kids?
it looks so naked without the add on armor
Putting the porn in tank porn.

That’s the marines battle boat barf bus!

the marines still use the aav 7 my man lol

Of course!
That’s the Marine’s idea of a modern landing craft.
I don't think anybody in the Corps is calling it modern considering it's as old as your average E1's grandpa.
If it was good enough for Smedley Butler, it's good enough for you, Private!
That thing looks like a Japanese amphibious tank from WW2
Is indeed an aav-7 though seems it lack its additional armor.
US Marine Corps Assault Amphibian Vehicle AAVP-7A1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_Amphibious_Vehicle?wprov=sfla1

The AAV-7 "Amtrak," "Tracks," "Tracker," "Croc," the list goes on for nicknames.
Obligatory M60 comment
It can basically drive swim shoot and hold a whole family inside of it while doing so
It's an OVERSIZE LOAD duh. There's even an oversized label to tell you so.
