[Model] BOXER MRAV - Use for logistics and support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We're replacing our ugly trucks with these beasts. Epic!

Both vehicles should not be armed, so perhaps we're able to close the hatch by 
rotating it 90 degrees?

Support:
Driver + 7 passengers in the back (if it fits)
Should drop 1 supply crate

Logi:
Driver + codriver (single guy in the back? :p)
Should drop 4 ammo crates

How to recognize these vehicles?

Perhaps like this?
1. Normal Boxer: leave as is, it's armed and dangerous :)
2. Support Boxer: unarmed, closed hatch
3: Logi Boxer: unarmed, closed hatch, antennas and engineer logo on side?

I know the engineer logo is unrealistic, but you have to be able to see what 
kind of vehicle it is.
Possible logo:

Of course, the minimap icons for the support and logi Boxers can stay the same 
as the trucks, so that's one way of recognizing them.

What could be done to identify a specific type of vehicle in the most realistic 
way is to use NATO Unit icons, these are very subtle though and you would need 
to look for it since it isnt big:

ill do some more research on it.

Both the Supply and logi boxer should be unarmed.
Could it be possible to attach some equipment models like tools and crates to 
the logi boxer?

This is the unit icon for the regular boxer: Mechanized Infantry

Yeah, we can "addTemplate" boxes and such to the vehicle, that shouldn't be a 
problem. They don't appear on the wreck model though, but that's fine.

Tell me what you would like to attach (perhaps examples of other vehicles that 
have that) and I'll have a look.

Those vehicle symbols, they're for the minimap you mean? Because vehicle icons 
rotate, that wouldn't look too good :(. If you want them somewhere else, let me 
know.

We're replacing the trucks with MAN trucks -> retextured to DAF trucks.
