Just A Couple Years Late

Twilight: 2000 had a few variations of the M2 Bradley which were projected to enter servers, but never did.

It was a logical progression that the Brad would be modified as the M113 had and would have as many specialized variants.

Well...  No.  Especially with the Berlin Wall falling and ruining the chances we'd have full on nuclear combat, toe to toe with the Ruskies.  It also makes T2K an alt-history instead of a speculative future.

Darn.

It does turn out that the M113 is obsolete and not viable for frontline operations any more and that we needed something to replace all of its numerous variations.

Which we started to do in 2018 with the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle program. 

T2K's M18 mortar carrier is the real world's M1287.

The world only took 32 years to catch up to a game...
