Well, I might be in the wrong subforum with this thread filling up with some request and questions concerning APC,IFV and Mech Infantry in general.
Lots of these have been made, but still I think some vital ones are glowing with their absence.
Lets start with some smaller more moveable stuff like the M1117
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1117
This one I think was to replace the up-armed Humvee, something to fill in last in a line starting with the Jeep.
Naturally it could be used as an upgrade to many Armoured cars coming out from WW2.
I think the Russian variant of this M1117 could be the BRDM. A BRDM-2 have been made as a unit some years ago.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRDM
The latest BRDM-3 I have seen in Wyrmshadows fine collections of models.
In this category of wheeled APC I lack the very famous VAB. One of the most common I have seen.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAB_(armoured_personnel_carrier)
or the french http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VBCI.
These would be in similar stuff to the Stryker, Piranhas already made.
Naturally the Russians variants are the BTR. BTR-70 and BTR-80 I believe has been made.
The germans most surely enough have their own in the Boxer.

I think I saw a model of this Boxer in Wyrmshadows collections ;-)
The Canadians Coyote LAV-25 has been made. So also the SouthAfrican Rooikat.
British might use the FV101 Scorpion/Scimitar even if it´s not wheeled. Lots of other countries used this, and it was made by Bebro (named Scimitar) long time ago.

For game issues these wheeled APC should perhaps be given Airdrop functions to complement the tracked APC/IFV. The should be the first units with the Paras to reach the hot zone.
So in my book the M1117, VAB and perhaps the Boxer are the most missed units.
Anyone knows models or creators that got an urge for any of these ??
