  wah lan eh.. the primus will follow the armor not cos it will chiong with armor lar.
  It will be a good distance behind FLOT to support with fire.
  
  The whole idea of an SPH is so that it has the mobility and firepower to support armored operations, especially when it comes to armored thrusts.

  you misunderstood la .. if overturn .. shout overturn overturn .. grab the nearest metal bar and prepare for the worst .. if still alive then quickly find a way out 'cos the tank might burn/explode like cars in the movies.

  DO you see in any country the want their armour veh to climb hill?

  That's one of the worst, if not the worst, place i've been. I think it is the only place where i almost wanted to just call it quits.
  
  Precisely .. armour veh cannot climb rocky hills like Biang. But elephant hill will be no trouble for them.

  You think too much already the veh won t get burning so easily. From my past experience when veh over turn. The P.C and S.C MG and SAW gunner will be throw out of the veh.....And after veh over turn don t anyhow move around as the veh might fall on you anything, wait for help.....

  You see ar I can t tell you much about armour operation but the only thing I can say Armour don t alway climb hill. If need to secure hill A.I will chiong up the hill while Armour veh become fire base.....Got what I mean....Even the elephant hill is a problem for armour veh.....

  The problem with driving up a hill in an IFV is that the driver can only see the sky.

  Taking hills is a tough job for armored vehicles lar. Personally I'm not from armor, so I am not sure.
  
  But I agree that ultimately its the AI that has to chiong up. As for armored vehicles as firebase, that is only up to a certain point, since the trajectory of the rounds would be unsuitable for anything more than suppressive fire.
  
  Thats where i feel the M113- Motar vehicles come in. To pound the hill with indirect fire.

  Yes, finding lychees is great, but none of the missions I've come across so far ever stated finding lychees as a critical criteria in accomplishing mission objectives.
