BF2S Forums Mounted AA-A diffrent way

wow those would be cool in BF2:)

All they are just LAV's with different tops.  I think EA needs to see this thread.   These vehicles would rock and take out those Jet's and Helo whores.   Instead of that stupid linebacker with the single AA gun on it.  plus just four missiles.

The guns on those can do some really sweet damage to the helos.  Just like the Tunguska and the Chinese AA.   The missiles alone just aren't gonna do anything.   But the guns will really help.   Here is the description of this thing -

The light armored vehicle (air defense variant) consists of what equates to an Avenger turret mounted on the chassis of a light armored vehicle (LAV)-25. Its primary mission is to provide low altitude air defense against forces from airborne threats by fixed and rotary winged aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles capable of speeds of zero to 500 NMPH, at ranges within the envelope of the Stinger Missiles and the 25mm ammunition. A secondary mission is to provide ground defense against light armored mechanized forces.

The Blazer turret includes a forward-looking infrared targeting sight, a laser rangefinder, and the option of employing either Stinger missiles or the rapid-fire GAU-12/U 25mm Gatling gun. The system maintains all the capabilities of the LAV-25 and Avenger with subtle differences. The turret is modified to fit the light armored vehicle and does not have the large crew space of Avenger. The crew compartment inside the light armored vehicle allows two operators with separate windows in the turret to search and scan the air from inside the vehicle.

The turret can slew 360° and has the same standard vehicle-mounted launcher configuration as Avenger. The .50 caliber machine gun was replaced by a 20 millimeter chain gun that provides antiair capabil-ity against aircraft within the inner launch boundary of a Stinger and a significant ground target engagement capability. Each standard vehicle-mounted launcher carries four Stinger missiles that can be fired in rapid succession. The LAV-AD can shoot on the move at speeds up to 30 miles per hour and can operate as an amphibious vehicle. The crew consists of a vehicle commander, two Stinger gunners, and a driver. The crew can communicate within the vehicle by intercom and externally via HF, VHF/FM, and UHF communications nets. The LAV-AD SINC-GARS radio suite is similar to the Avenger’s radio suite and allows for the integration of the remote terminal unit and ground-based data link.

Although the LAV-AD is not an organic weapon system to the Marine aircraft wing, it is important to be aware of its associated organization, configuration, and operating characteristics. Stinger gunners and other Marines with Stinger backgrounds could be assigned to the light armored reconnaissance battalion to employ the LAV-AD. Although the tactics, techniques, and procedures associated with LAV-AD operations are still under development, it is likely the LAV-AD will be used in much the same manner as an Avenger-equipped LAAD unit in direct support of a maneuver element. The current concept of employment states that the primary mission of the LAV-AD is to provide local air defense for the light armored reconnaissance battalion, operating well forward of the fire support coordination line. It also outlines the planned table of organization that calls for an antiair warfare officer to command the LAV-AD company and Stinger staff noncommissioned officers and gunners to serve as crewmembers.

General Dynamics began delivering the new LAV-AD to Marine light armor units in the fall of 1997. The Marines are buying 17 of these systems for their extensive LAV fleet.

Holy Crap this thing can fire while moving 30mph. 


ARMAMENT:
GAU-12/U 25mm Gatling Gun <---------Smaller Verision of what is on the A-10 Warthog.
Stinger Missiles

Ammunition:
25mm Ammunition 990 Rounds (385 Ready to Fire)
Stinger Missiles 16 (8 Ready to Fire) <------Instead of Four or two from the AA fixed positions.   
Firing Rate 1800 Shots Per Minute <------------Wow that will really help shoot down the Helos big time. 


What I like is that the Marine corp ordered 17 of them.   That means take that freakin linebacker out and put these things in here instead.

Awsome

that would be tight

I think they need to give the Anti-Tank class anti-air.   If you remember in Desert Combat the Anti-Tank class had shoulder fired Stingers.   It would be really helpful so the choppers are not always looking for the AA vehicles.

It is not that big -

That  would be awesome.  Keep the P-90 and take away the DAO and give the gift of the STINGER!!   LOL

I can imagine the look on a fighter pilot's face...

"hoo-ha-ha-ha, I know where every AA site on the map is! those n00bs can't touch me!"
*lock on*

There needs to be some infantry AA in BF2.  Also so new AA vechiles that are faster than the ones in the game.  That LAV would be awesome, all that firepower turned against a helo or jet, man.  It would also rule at taking down large numbers of infantry also.

Go to planetbattlefield.com And look under BF2 mods. There is gonna be some kick ass shit in there. And balenced and not lame like in BF2. Bunch of great ones coming out. FH2, PoE2, EoD for BF2, USI, just to name the ones Im looking forward too. You can find almost anykind of mod. Paintball, Civil War to Star Wars.

The 'mount' looks a lot like the old stationary rocket launchers in BF1942 Secret weapons- don't remember if it was in vanilla bf42.
