Sad to see the AAVP7A1 finally replaced, but at this point the marines needed new vehicles, even if it was replacements with similar capabilities. I do think the wheels will be more effective than the tracks in most scenarios.
Having been an 0300 and ridden in many Amtracks, I was really surprised at the limitations of the tracks and the high maintenance required to maintain the tracks. At every pause the trackers were out inspecting the tracks and tightening them. Definitely beat humping though ! lol
