This is correct, I left 1/25th a little over a year ago. We had many problems with them (most of which are not written about in all the fantastic write-ups). The good majority of the men don't care for the vehicles, but some do (mostly the die hard mech guys).

sf11b p- you are also correct, the vehicle isn't close to combat ready when it hits the ground due to the reasons you stated. The only exception being you dont deflate the tires, they are on a hydraulic type set up and the vehicle has to be completely lowered.

I don't care much for due to those facts AND the fact that I feel helpless riding around inside a tin can(and a number of other reasons I wont ramble and list on here), and the enemy is only stupid for so long when they realize that the soldiers WILL come out of the back ramp. I lost one of my best friends from back at Lewis due to this very reason. They just waited for him to come out the back door.
