With that logic its north worth using a tank because its easy to hit with a TOW etc.

As much fun as the m113 can be, the exposed gunner ultimately makes it very hard to provide fire support with in PR. This is why the Namer is going to be a lot more for fun for Mech inf :)

I think those areas house things like air-conditioner and heat sinks... and they're a bit small for a person, if you consider that they are armored.

Fast and agile are normally needed because vehicles supporting infantry are lightly armoured. surely the need to be fast and agile (tho tanks in PR are not that bad) when you are heavily armoured is redundant.

Cant wait for this, finally a inf support that can stick around and provide cover for extended periods of time.

Dont need anything fast, just need something that is going to put down a lot of firepower to cover/support the inf.

I'm talking from a purely 'we have to cap them out to win' aspect of speed and maneuverability.

It comes down to personal preference really, I've seen success with the BTR-80 on the maps it features in though. Tried a Bradley and BMP, /wrists 1 2

It won't replace it. It will work along side it.
