Okay after all this time with DS 2 I still don't see (except perhaps cost) the
'advantage' of choosing GEV mobility. GRAV doe all terrrain equal or better.
The Tracked option does nearly as well as GEV in anything but the most 'open'
of terrain types and better in several.
After a lot of loking at mobility versus terrain for GP (General Purpose)
forces I think for low tech CFE it's got to be Tracked (and HKP) with Class 1
and 2 GEV scouts for open terrain; for HMT it's pretty much the same except
that MDC weapons become an option for light guns and FGEV class 3 "Heavy
Recon" and open terrain MICVs; for FPG you actually have a choice between
tracked low cost units and GRAV high cost units.
Even though I have 4 GEV (1 SGEV, 3 predominantly FGEV) Battalions I questiuon
wht (other then 'cool' or background) a military would choose GEV as the
majority of their mobility type.
Gracias,

is finicky and requires grav tank engineers to maintain. All grav tank
engineers are officers as it requires a graduate degree to get into the
profession. Needless to say grav tanks see limited usage from major powers.
Why have a high maintenance grav tank when you can buy a blower
tank _and_ a STOL aircraft for the same price? NB I'm not
talking points I'm talking $.
