Games

The MTVR (full name: Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement^[1]) is a logistics truck used by several BLUFOR factions in ArmA 2.

Overview[]

Roles:
- Troop transport
- Ground vehicle repair
- Refuelling
- Vehicle munitions rearmament

«

The MTVR (Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement) is a 6x6 all-terrain vehicle Used by the US Marine Corps and US NAVY. It is capable of transporting up to 7 tons of cargo in most terrain and up to 15 tons on good roads.

Armoury Description^[2]^[3]

Design[]

The MTVR is a multipurpose utility truck that uses a 6x6 wheel configuration, with its engine located underneath a forward fibreglass bonnet. The roof of the cab has a hinged aluminium windscreen, and the door frames can be folded down to reduce overall height.

Features
Forming an integral part of the U.S. military's logistical backbone, the MTVR serves as the primary utility truck of the U.S. Army/Marine Corps and the British Army. The MTVR is available in up to six configurations:

The baseline troop transport truck
Fuel tanker that can refuel nearby ground vehicles and landed aircraft
An ammunition resupply truck variant
A mobile repair vehicle variant
A salvage truck designed to scrap destroyed vehicle wrecks^{[note 1]}
A supply truck designed exclusively to transport supplies^{[note 1]}

Mobility
With a top speed of 94 km/h on turbo, the MTVR is quite fast for a truck and possesses surprisingly decent handling and a good acceleration rate. Though its turn rate is mediocre^{[CfgVh 23]} and it suffers from a speed penalty while going off-road^{[CfgVh 24]}, its stability is much better compared to the Russian-made Kamaz. Compared to the Kamaz, it doesn't face as much of risk of rollovers when turning at high speeds.

Drawbacks
As an unarmoured truck, the MTVR remains vulnerable to any kind of anti-vehicle weapon and small arms fire. Unlike the Czech Army's T810, no variant of the MTVR is outfitted with any kind of armament. As a result, the driver won't be able defend themselves or their passengers against hostiles. Unless it's absolutely necessary, the MTVR should never be brought anywhere close to areas where enemies are to be expected as it will not last long under fire.

Crew Capacity
The MTVR only requires a single driver to operate the truck. Troop carrier MTVRs can transport up to twelve passengers^{[CfgVh 1]}, while logistics-oriented MTVRs are limited to just two cab passengers.^{[CfgVh 4]}^{[CfgVh 5]}^{[CfgVh 6]} Only the wreck salvagers/supply carrier trucks specifically support just one passenger in the cab (alongside the driver).^{[CfgVh 2]}^{[CfgVh 3]}

Variants[]

Transport[]

Baseline variant. Can transport up to twelve passengers.^{[CfgVh 1]} Serves as a troop transport that has a flatbed section in the rear that is covered with a tarpaulin which can hide troops from view (note that the tarpaulin does not provide ballistic protection).

Visually identical to the baseline variant but cannot actually transport any troops (other than one passenger in the cab).^{[CfgVh 2]} It will automatically be dispatched from the closest forward base to a nearby town to increase its "supply" value.

Visually identical to the Repair variant but cannot actually repair ground vehicles or aircraft and can only transport a single passenger in the cab.^{[CfgVh 3]} It will automatically be dispatched from the closest forward base to disassemble destroyed vehicle wrecks on the battlefield.

(*) These variants are completely non-functional in normal gameplay and only work in Capture The Island (CTI) scenarios created with the Warfare module.

Logistics[]

Carries spare parts, tools, and additional components that can repair nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft within a radius of 7.5 metres^{[CfgVh 25]} (up to 200,000,000 points of damage can be restored).^{[CfgVh 26]} Has only three seats for the driver and two cab passengers.^{[CfgVh 4]}

It should be noted that this variant specifically has a small cargo space that only allows for 10× weapons^{[CfgVh 17]} and 50× magazines^{[CfgVh 19]} to be stored, though the number of slots available for storing backpacks remains unchanged (8×).^{[CfgVh 21]}

Visually identical to the baseline variant but cannot transport troops as the rear flatbed is occupied by ammunition crates instead. It can rearm nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft within a radius of 2.5 metres^{[CfgVh 27]} (up to 300,000 units of ammunition).^{[CfgVh 28]} It can transport the same number of passengers as the Repair variant (two).^{[CfgVh 5]}

Has a large fuel tanker attached to the rear flatbed section. It can refuel nearby land vehicles and grounded aircraft within a radius of 6.3 metres^{[CfgVh 29]} (up to 3,000 units worth of fuel).^{[CfgVh 30]} It can transport the same number of passengers as the Repair variant (two).^{[CfgVh 6]}

It should be noted that this variant specifically has a small cargo space that only allows for 10× weapons^{[CfgVh 16]} and 50× magazines^{[CfgVh 18]} to be stored, though the number of slots available for storing backpacks remains unchanged (8×).^{[CfgVh 20]}

Protection: Hitpoints[]

All variants of the MTVR share the same base armour value of 32.^{[CfgVh 31]}

Successful strikes to any of the following highlighted sections will inflict full damage to the component:

All MTVR variants share the same component hit zones regardless of their intended role.

Body[]

The truck's body can withstand up to 32 points of damage.^{[CfgVh 32]}^{[Formula 1]} Depletion of the body's integrity will always result in the truck's destruction.^{[CfgVh 33]}

Engine[]

The truck's engine can take a maximum of 12.8 points of damage before it fails.^{[CfgVh 34]}^{[Formula 2]} At least 20% of incoming damage will always be shared with the truck's main "health" pool. Destruction of the engine can potentially result in the MTVR blowing up if it is at critical "health" status.^{[CfgVh 35]}

Fuel tanks[]

The MTVR's fuel tanks can take up to 44.8 points of damage before they rupture.^{[CfgVh 36]}^{[Formula 3]} 100% of incoming damage will always be shared with the truck's main "health" pool. Destroying the fuel tank is likely to result in the MTVR outright blowing up if it is at critical "health" status.^{[CfgVh 37]}

Wheels[]

The MTVR's wheels can each withstand a maximum of 9.6 points of damage before their tyres burst.^{[CfgVh 38]}^{[CfgVh 39]}^{[CfgVh 40]}^{[CfgVh 41]}^{[Formula 4]} At least 30% of incoming damage upon any of the wheels will be shared with the truck's main "health" pool. Depending on how many wheels are destroyed at the same time, the MTVR can potentially explode if it is at critical "health" status.^{[CfgVh 42]}^{[CfgVh 43]}^{[CfgVh 44]}^{[CfgVh 45]}

**Yellow** = armor_11mm_plate.bisurf

The baseline MTVR's body and chassis forms the basis upon which all other configurations are based on. It uses a mix of metal armour plates and (non-ballistic resistant) glass as well as wood materials:

The truck's fuel tank and its engine are protected by metal armour plates.^{[rvmat 1]}^{[bisurf 1]}
The truck's cab, bonnet, and parts of the body/rear flatbed walls are protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 3 millimetres.^{[rvmat 2]}^{[bisurf 2]}
Its exhaust pipes and parts of the lower body utilise metal armour plates that have a thickness of 7 millimetres.^{[rvmat 3]}^{[bisurf 3]}
The truck's chassis is protected by metal armour plates that have a thickness of 11 millimetres.^{[rvmat 4]}^{[bisurf 4]}
The base of the truck's flatbed is made out of wood. It has a thickness of 20 millimetres.^{[rvmat 5]}^{[bisurf 5]}
All of the truck's cab windows are made out of glass panes that have a thickness of 5 millimetres.^{[rvmat 6]}^{[bisurf 6]}

It should be noted that the neither the cab's glass windows nor the rear flatbed tarpaulin are ballistic-resistant. They will not protect the driver or the truck's passengers from gunfire.

Defensive sensors[]

No variant of the MTVR is equipped with defensive sensors. The truck's crew will not be alerted if a guided weapon or projectile is attempting to acquire a lock onto the vehicle^{[CfgVh 46]}, nor will there be an alert if a projectile has successfully locked onto the truck and is inbound towards it.^{[CfgVh 47]}
