Seeing as many potential Talian enemies are overseas, the government has seen the need to increase the production of amphibious vehicles. Recently, the LAV-25 was pushed into service, and now a heavily armored variant has been included in the lineup. This variant features a reactive armor that is highly resistant to ballistics and explosives, and can be used to great effect in an urban environment given it's immunity to potential RPG attacks as well as its high effectiveness against infantry. Next in the lineup is the amphibious HAAV-34 mobile Howitzer. It is in essence an extended version of the LAV-25, but it can carry 12 men as opposed to the LAV-25's six, and it has been strengthened to feature a mounted M777 Howitzer artillery cannon. As opposed to heavy artillery that is difficult to position on the battlefield, the M777 is very light, and Its utility is only increased by the mobile platform on which it is placed.
