Borsuk IFV sails like a motorboat?

 

Interesting. I don't know a thing about hydrodynamics but I do watch armored vehicle development. Especially amphibious armored vehicles. Have you noticed that the new Turk AAV, the Borsuk IFV and the S. Korean Wheeled Combat Vehicle all share the same "bow"? The ACV is more sharply raked...kinda like the Chinese EFV. If you keep the ACV but give it this type of bow would it swim better? Kinda interesting that the new AAV replacement has issues in surf so severe that they're developing new tech to predict it. It's brand new but no speed increase over the AAV. It's wheeled so we can anticipate that there will be beaches it can't cross (can't get the image of stuck wheeled vehicles on the beach in Spain). I just don't quite know if making it the new amphibious ride is all its cracked up to be. I was a huge supporter of the vehicle but now I'm just not sure.
