"Unless you make the Lynx bigger to increase it's cabin capacity (and I mean doubling it not squeezing one extra bloke in), it will NEVER be any use on the battlefield."

Double the capacity of a Lynx would be a Puma, surely - and that kind of medium SH has never been an AAC role.

Isn't the whole point of Lynx that it's there to mop up the smaller jobs - a Milan team, a dog team, transporting a force commander, or a single small group of soldiers?

The vanilla Lynx marked a massive improvement in capacity over the Scout, can it be that the AAC are aiming for another similar shift, muscling in on what has always been an RAF/RN role?
