As you can see, uh... The armor is shit. Seriously. 1 armor. So basically everything will defeat the armor pretty easy, with anything AT 7+ autopenning. And like the [[M163 VADS]], it's open-topped, so aircraft will love this. Generally, keep it damn well away from any AT and protected by something less squishy. Upside to this is that the Brutal rule doesn't apply because it still has armor better than infantry plating.

Fortunately, your LAVs shouldn't ever get hit unless something goes VERY wrong with your battle plan. As artillery units with a 56" range, you can hit pretty much any part of a 6x4 table from a terrain piece at the back. The mortars may not hurt vehicles, but will make their points back very quickly against infantry. With good positioning of spotters, your artillery will be the main thing that kills entrenched troops, especially when the Americans lack any Brutal tank cannons. 

For better or for worse, you can only bring 2 LAVs at the cost of 2 points and only in an LAV Company. It won't have enough smoke shots to provide cover for assaulting units, only enough for blinding tanks or ATGMs. Expect to use these as anti-infantry artillery; you don't have enough mortars to use them for smoke.
