Pretty heavy for what it carries. I would prefer lighter vehicle for single squad transport.

If you want I can have a look into it and make you a design Wink

It's not an APC...it's suppose to be a Self Propelled Missile Launcher...

still there's room for improvement IMO. And I'm not sure what is it's purpose. It has to have some kind of feature that would make it different from Hunter and other cannon designs. A feature that would make it useful enough, to allow it to do what the others can't, ... (SRM/MG battery pointed to side arcs aren't too impressive...).

I know it can be improved, and I just told you what it's purpose is, it's a Mobile Missile Launcher...

Of course, but I still wonder whether it has a niche for itself on the battlefield...

Well, and isn't that niche filled with something else already? With something that is better?

I think it has a very narrow niche in missile support sitting back in an infantry infested area. It devotes 12 tons for its main purpose and another 7 tons for anti infantry weaponry.
