History

Class: Fire Support Vehicle
Developed: 1978-1979
Service: 1982+
Vehicles Built: cca 200
Operators: Panama, Kuwait, Philippines, Venezuela (allegedly), U.S. National Guard (allegedly)

The LAV-300 was an attempt by Cadillac Gage Textron to improve upon the aging LAV-150 and to provide something heavier that could carry more men or firepower. Around a dozen variants were offered. This is an FSV variant armed with a 90mm Cockerill Mk.III L/36 gun, the same weapon as the LAV-150 90 uses. The gun was installed in a two-man turret. For its caliber it packed quite a punch and was able to deal with older Soviet tank models thanks to its wide range of available shells (including APFSDS, HE and HEP) – something potential customers would probably be most interested in. Made of light Cadaloy steel, this vehicle provided a lot of punch in a very light, air-transportable and amphibious package. Despite its qualities, it never gathered as much attention as its predecessor and only roughly 200 vehicles were sold between 1982 and 1994 to several customers. The LAV-300 stopped being offered in 2000. A few units probably still remain in service.

Vehicle Traits

• Marksman: This vehicle can fire advanced ammunition from its accurate weapon, allowing it to destroy enemy armor at long distances.
• HESH Rounds: This vehicle can fire special Squash Head rounds. These are extremely effective against angled armor that is typical for Soviet tanks.
• Amphibious: This vehicle is more resistant to taking on water, allowing it to traverse wider rivers or lakes.
