Well, here's a diagram found in the advance proof of my upcoming renovation of my military factbook.

LAV-III or Boxer*

Edit: I'm asking which one you prefer

Boxer MRAV by far. MOWAG Piranha derivatives are WHEELEDDEATHTRUCKS.

I think you jut called most of my native Canuckistans IFV's death trucks.
I don't think I can love you anymore.

Okay I have a very common question that I must ask. I did search the thread for it and found it earlier asked by Romic and answered by a handful of very helpful people, but overall it was basically a "depends on the situation" type of thing. The question is over military personnel, both active and reserves. The nation at the moment is largely based off of South Korea (it's "North Korea" is a collection of states that are smaller but very cohesive and altogether similar sized in terms of population and resources) (it is also similar historically in terms of demographics with large families of around six to eight children being the norm), however the culture has evolved beyond (beyond to signify it once did have but no longer does, not that it is superior) the differentiation of the sexes (in that masculinity and femininity are not associated with a sex and are not seen as opposing) so mandatory conscription of two years is for all sexes physically and mentally able. Of course, there are also professional members of the military (not sure if I used that term entirely correctly) and the military heritage is similar to the one found in say Texas.

What would be a good rough estimate as the percentage of the population; would this system break the economy or is it passable? Related question, does the absolute size of the military ever matter? I always assumed the relative size of the military was what mattered in terms of the country still being able to function.

One percent seems good for a conscript force, usually.

also holy textwall batman!

I honestly can't tell if this is meant to prove the LAV-III is a death truck or to placate me with a friggin cool sculpture.
...I think I've been placated in either case, carry on NSMilRealism.

Placation. I saw that sculpture at my local art gallery some weeks back.

What wheeled APC would be most effective for a military with a capable ground force, but with large territory?

[Lamoni]

In my opinion, that would be the Patria AMV. It is so good that the Taliban tend to run when Patria AMV's enter an area in Afghanistan.

[Purpelia]

Take Chieftain. Convert to HIFV like this one. Win?

[Lamoni]

He asked for a wheeled vehicle, Purp.

[Purpelia]

He asked for a wheeled vehicle, Purp.

My question is unrelated to him. Hence me not quoting.

[Laywenrania]

Clearly Patria AMV, Laywenrania also uses it, so it has to be good

[Questers]

The Boxer is dumb.

The LAV is a great vehicle.

So is the Patria AMV. I use Rosomaks in my Army ^.^

I agree on the Boxer. I like the idea they were going for, but the thing is just too damn big. I simply cannot see it being easy to transport, or being g all that much more useful than a much smaller vehicle.

What makes the Patria better than it's competitors?

Polan will charge into battle atop a Rosomak when it wipes away the Russian scourge.

[The Archangel Conglomerate]

I was under the impression that Russia was to be riding atop BTR-80s when it wipes away Polish scourge.

Are there any technologies likely to replace the helicopter by the early to mid 22nd century?

[Immoren]

Being of Finnish automotive engineering. *nods*

Perhaps not completely but for most roles I am assuming yes.

[The Archangel Conglomerate]

Most probably. Unfortunately, I'm having a bitch of a time trying to figure out what they may be, as most searches for "future helicopter replacements" and the like direct me to spare part stores for RC jobbers.

22nd Century?
we don't even know what countries will still exist 85 years from now.

Eh, unless something utterly stupid happens in the next decade or so, I imagine the countries will be exactly the same.

So, for the foreseeable future, the only major change may be the inclusion of ducted fans. Alright, that sounds about like what I had in mind.
