I will add a disclaimer: THIS IS MY OPINION; I MIGHT BE WRONG.
I thought the first line of the post was enough to clear that out (Infinite wisdom).

Excellent guide. Thanks! On the AMX-10P you state that it has good firepower for " a quite important price." I do not know what this means exactly. Did you mean that it has good economical value costing only 20?
The AMX 10P is quite an efficient tool that can deal a lot of damage if used right, but it costs 20 which is a lot. As someone said, you really buy an autocanon platform that can transport troops. It costs too much for "cheap" infantry (Chasseurs famas you want to go somewhere fast with) and raises the price of LEGION or LEGION famas you bring them with to the point of important investment.

I beg to differ with your opinion on Legion and Panzergrenadier, I will mostly repeat the stuff I already said/wrote in a previous thread.
In my opinion, Legion whithout FAMAS are better suited to assault forest than the FAMAS Legion. Why ? Because they cost less and still have the wonderful HE2 and it matters so much more in close combat than accuracy.
Also, you have can order 5 Legion squad for the price of 4 FAMAS Legion squad and again, in close combat, number matters. And yeah of course they have a poor AT weapon but they use it to kill what ? BTR ? SKOT ? No one is dumb enough now to put expensive stuffs in a forest. and even if they encounter a TO-55, a better AT won't do anything anyway.
PS: This is also why I now prefer Spadochroniarze over Vysadkari.
About the Panzergrenadier, yup they are costey, fragile but damn effective, it's not that, they are multi-rolethey won most of their engagement against infantry and get vet fast and thus their ATGM get accurate fast too. It's something you can't do with normal ATGM team. And their marder (like you said) got almost no drawback beside it's price and it still have a pretty good survivability.
I agree with the analysis, but I found that against other shock troops, famas ended up better than regular legionaries with better numbers. The point with the accuracy of the LAW (That could be a good book title btw, 'accuracy of the law') is that in case of an infantry attack, if the guy enters the forest, I want his transport to blow up before he unloads. The ability to be almost certain to wipe out one of the attacking squads, or at least stunning it, is invaluable. I still tweaked them as thanks to you I see them in a new light.
About the panzers: They are overpriced. But they can be a useful tool. It's just that they pay a high price for ATGMs they are not good at, and have really few supplies of. Of course they are very good against infantry, but it's the same logic as ou had with the legion: I have more bodies with one squad of paratroopers in saracens and a squad of atgms, that can engage more targets, with possibly a better efficiency. The Marder would be a great transport if available to other units though. I still find it great, but I don't use it any more.
