But I'm glad that you guys feel the same way about it..



No problem. When you get really bored sometime you might want to look at some of the archived stryker threads. Some of them get pretty good.

Also, we would be very interested in hearing more of your personal experiences with the Stryker.

canuck he's not bashing you Canadians he's slamming the vehicle. You put anything too big or heavy on the damn thing it'll flip over!

Even with just a BushMaster on top the tires are an issue. The first step to boresighting would be to make sure everyone is off the vehicle because movement will make it bounce and sway, throwing off your boresight. Remounting the vehicle will throw it off again. Inflatable tires are a really stupid idea from every point of view except fuel efficiency which is probably your SMALLEST concern during contact unless your plan is to run away far and fast.

The recconaissance version of the vehicle. The Coyote, is very effective. You guys even asked for us to contribute that before we said we werent going to war in Iraq. But i can see how its a dumb idea to have a tank on wheels.

I think Shitsuki should be called back to duty from retardment and be courtmartialed for his part in this POS program. I am so sick of seeing the crap results of all most all of his transformations. This vehicle was never what the Army needed and this is just one more symptom of the crap that the former Eric the Great shoved down the Army's throat. This is just a F'ing disgrace, anyone in the COC who supports this deathtrap should be retired, freaking retards.[!]
