'Stryker' APC - with anti-RPG 'fence' armour

How does the armour work. Does it actually stop RPG rounds? Sounds great.

Hummer - Cargo

Another thing I've been needing. Will it have a camo texture like the original? Maybe a desert version could be put to use as well.

Great job, keep it up.

brandonkappel, im not sure how it works, i read that in vietnam, soldiers would place C-ration bags on their tanks, and when an rpg hit it, the c-rations would explode, lowering the damage that the tank would recieve....not sure why it works, but if it does, i have no reason to argue...

Us Brits were doing this when we were out in Northern Ireland back in the eighties. One nickname for the tanks with the "fence armour" was Pig. The tail fins of the RPG rounds wouldn't go through, the gap between the "grid" bits on the armour was too small, thus creating an great defence.

First time I've heard anyone call a Humber Pig a tank! 1 ton truck with delusions of grandeur might be more to the point.

As pointed out the fins on an RPG aren't robust enough to stop the warhead (and the stand-off distance isn't great enough, the fuse would have impacted before the fins met the fence, but in any case the main anti-vehicle threat in NI wasn't the RPG-7, which saw very little use, but culvert bombs and 'mortars'. The 'mortar' in question wasn't the 81mm trench mortar everyone thinks of when they hear the term, but a remotely fired improvised device usually hidden in a roadside hedge and fired horizontally as a vehicle passed.
