Notes | Armoured version of the LVT-2 developed for Infantry transport with an armoured cab and hull. It was armed with one .50 cal heavy machine gun mounted on a skate rail with and two .30 cal machines guns on pivot mounted with armoured shields. Despite the extra weight it could still carry 18 fully armed troops at a similar speed as the LVT-2. |
