It apparently is also rather difficult to exit when inverted and submerged.



You're joking, right? What vehicles are designed for easy exit when inverted and submerged????

The Russian BTR 80 and 90, for two, after problems that developed with the BTR 60 and 70 that did not. The V100, V150 and V300 Cadillac Gage *Commando* series were another, as per the M706 used in Vietnam, as well as the more recent Military Police Armored Security Vehicle, a 4-wheeled armored car meant for use by the MPs at checkpoints and for convoy escort duties, cancelled because it might have made the Stynker look bad by comparison.

Oh, and the World War II German SdKfz223 and Swedish PV M 39 *Lynx*, and the current Finnish SISU, the Czech OT610 Skot, and the South African Eland/ AML90. There are others, I'm sure.
