W00t! The Jarheads have a cool new toy!

Assaulting a defended beach frankly sucks. But it comes with the job description.

Even when we went ashore in armored amphibious tractors it still wasn't all that great as these huge tin boxes with a light gun on top were no better than bullet magnets. Tanks? They wouldn't arrive for hours or even days. Best you could do is run like hell and find a friendly sand dune to hide behind.

But that changes real soon!

The EFV is insanely cool. It hauls ass on both land and water and can kick some serious crap out of the opposition. Unless the opposition brings main battle tanks to the beach then we win! Even if the tanks come this EFV and the Cobras will light them up and get them rolling back.


Lots of great YouTubes on it. Watch a couple and be amazed.

Yeah, it's having a few growing pains, but that's par for the course.

I suppose if the opposiiton did manage to use MBTs to force you back you could always make DD versions of your tanks ( dual drive, amphibious tank) and force them back again.
