I think that I understand. So, not only would it be a good idea to use nottanks with autocannons and AGLs in the place of those aforementioned death trucks, they would be significantly better in both environments apart from cost? I am not too surprised, due to their innate defensive qualities, but I think there may be an issue with delivering large amounts of troops alongside those vehicles without being forced to commit too many such transports to a certain area of operations. THat is why large trucks with armor and RWSes sounded like a good option at the time of my asking.
BTW, the COIN experience was against your usual peaceful religious extremists that may or may not have been getting outside help from people with lots of antiarmor rocket launchers and portable crew-served weapons.
