Meet the main ground vehicle reward for the Semper Fidelis event, the American EFV landing vehicle!
EFV: An Event Vehicle Light Tank for the USA at Rank VI
At a glance:
- 30 mm Bushmaster cannon.
- Highest speed on water among all ground vehicles!
- Thermal imager.
- Large in dimension.
In the 1980s, the U.S. Marine Corps developed a concept for a new amphibious combat vehicle, the AAAV (Advanced Amphibious Assault Vehicle). Its purpose was to implement an “over-the-horizon landing” strategy, which involved bypassing coastal mines and enemy forces. Several companies submitted prototypes to the competition, with General Dynamics winning and receiving a contract for developing the prototype. The first prototypes were tested in the early 2000s. The AAAV was capable of reaching speeds of up to 46 km/h in its amphibious mode thanks to deployable shields and water jets, which allowed it to safely cover the distance to the coast. In 2003, the AAAV designation was changed to EFV (Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle). However, the development was ineffective, and the cost of the vehicle increased significantly. As a result, the program was closed in January 2011 due to excessive costs. 19 prototypes were built.
Introducing the EFV!
The experimental EFV is the main reward in the Semper Fidelis event that just started today. This light tank features an autocannon and unprecedented speed among ground vehicles in the game on water! Right, let’s take a look at what it can achieve.
Interesting: EFV stands for “Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle”.
The EFV is armed with a 30 mm Bushmaster cannon and a smaller coaxial machine gun, with the cannon on this vehicle being already well-known to many of you who play ground vehicles. Featuring a stock APDS belt, this vehicle can also unlock a HEI-T belt for use against helicopters and an APFSDS belt for use against enemy main battle tanks. To help with accurate firing, the EFV has a great fire control system with a laser rangefinder and thermal imager.
You may have noticed that this vehicle is very large! Most of the space inside is occupied by a large landing compartment, and the crew is small with only three people. Despite its dimensions, the EFV is still quite mobile, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 72 km/h on good roads. Additionally one of the main features of this vehicle is its amphibious capability. When on water, this vehicle literally transforms into a boat — it unfolds shields, tightens the tracks and turns on its water jets, allowing it to reach a speed of 46 km/h on water, pretty much like a boat. Keep this in mind when you’re on ground force maps that have rivers on them, as this opens up completely new tactical opportunities!
Sounds cool right? The EFV is an event vehicle at rank VI ground vehicle for the USA, obtainable in the Semper Fidelis event that started today. Check out the website article for this event to know more about its details. See you soon!
Please note that this vehicle’s characteristics may be changed before it is added to the game.

Comments will be premoderatedVery nice! I hope we will get the LAV-25 in the foreseeable century for some more representation of the Corps. Semper Fi!
M1A1 FEP my beloved, please.
Hopefully there will be a map one day where these amphibious vehicles will actually have value, maps like eastern europe don't allow for amphibious vehicles to function properly as the map update made the dirt ramps nearly inaccessible. They cut off too harshly and due to nerfed traction ages ago they are unable to climb the dirt.
Unfortunately, if this tank stays at 9.3 it's going to be dead in the water. Pun intended.
It would be cool if we had Ground Battles combined with not just Aviation (CAS) but Naval as well. Then we would have more Ground Maps with water features which the EFV would use. And the addition of Naval to Ground Battles may add exciting new gameplay elements.
I am not sure if you are aware of the scale of naval vessels.
Stona_WT, Not to mention the armor thickness and pen danage
The whole "new range of possibilities with rivers" would be cool if the traction to get out of the water wasn't so sad. Come on tanks are supposed to be all terrain, and besides the air the EFV is literally ment for more than that
Since we already have so many amphibious vehicles, some of them without stabilizers, could we maybe see a fix of the horrible incredibly large waves which make any floating vehicle basically useless?
A vehicle I never heard of until now but it looks interesting, it reminds me of the Japanese Ka-Chi. I don't think being fast in water is a selling point though. Most GB fighting happens on solid ground, this is at most a situational curiosity.
A Bradley that swims, GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL!
Snail Team Six!
its comparable to a leopard 2 in size, im excited to bring it into customs with my friends and BLOCK THE SUNLIGHT with its massive frame
