    We seem to like to overdo it here in America.

    Alright then, MaxxPro vs Tigr?

    I would personaly have a Tigr with me jsut because i know it (got experience with it). But on paper im not too sure which wins, obciously different depending on the environment.

    Tigr, Mraps roll over too easily which limits their mobility. Part of the IED problem is the more armored the vehicle, the more limited terrain it can traverse, so it's a lot easier to plant IED's along likely avenues of approach. With smaller, lighter vehicles, they can travel off road and it diffuses the effectiveness of IED's because it's not like theyre going to rig the entire desert with explosives

    yes, i was thinking of saying something similar but thouight i might end up sounding stupid, it seems that the new Mraps are made with desert-like environments in mind. Which is fair enough, but the Tigr is moe adaptive i think to all environments and situations (off road and on main roads) and so on, of course this makes it less specialised for things like the desert. The times i was with a Tigr it was in a classic hilly Eastern European like terrain, and it is right at home there, but i assume that in the desert it wouldnt preform too well (ive been told by someone who tried it out on plains that its pretty average, not bad but nothing unique, only useful to take off road, through boggy ground and such).
