Modern IFVs are quite large, aren't they?

Compared to the once biggest tanks, the MBTs, modern IFVs have become huge due to necessary higher protection levels. 

See IVF Puma (right) 

next to Leopard 2 (middle). 

PzH2000 is a Monster, too (Right)

The two latest IFVs, Lynx KF41 and Redback, are both massive, but a reflection of what Tier 1 armies require in terms of protection levels and useable internal volume. Both virtually equal in height, with Lynx maybe an inch taller in both hull and turret roof heights.

Namer, hold my BEER !

Or perhaps a reflection that the modern IFV, that is both a battle taxi for an infantry squad, and an offensive fire support vehicle, often with an ant-armour capability, is the wrong evolutional direction, and splitting the roles into 2 vehicles might be the way to go?

All that size but still not enough practical space for dismounts/ equipment and not (to me) sufficent survivability vs tank main gun and ATGM to make the IFV thrive in a combined arms direct fire zone....

If you try to use them like they were used in OIF then yes you are correct. 

But if you use them to deliver and support dismounts forward of them then they are fine.

Maybe IFV is the wrong name. 

These are Vehicle Fighting Vehicles VFV. 

The same troops in the back means that they help with picquets etc. 

If you want to bring Infantry to the fight then you need APC's without those turrets.

The bigger ones can bring a litter of small unmanned IFVs scurrying around them. 

The mother ship IFV then becomes a C2 for air and ground drones.

 Water too when appropriate.
