I had an idea for a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG) that could be used to defend urban locations, and this was the closest that I could come under the rules.

The medium lasers can be swapped out with flamers depending upon whether or not the garrison commander expects infantry, battle armor, or ground vehicles; similarly, the SRM can be loaded with normal missiles, armor-piercing missiles, or infernos.

The RAC/2 + T-Comp combo should be pretty devastating against aircraft.

And there's just enough room on board for a few infantry troopers, perhaps just enough to provide security.

I would drop a couple of the mediums for more ammo.

I'll take the cheaper one, wait I'll take a dozen, I can afford a whole company instead of a short lance.

I didn't calculate the price... is it really that cheap? Scratch

EDIT: Anyway, if it was purely defensive, then I'd downgrade the engine to 130 engine (3/5 movement is sufficient for city defence IMO) (either ICE to drop the cost even further or fuel cell to get more armour. Hardened could be sweet to prevent being shot cheaply).

It's an extra half ton of armor and .1 tons more for infantry, plus I was able to go with an SRM 4 instead of a 2.

Why does this need an infantry bay?

The rounding gives me some extra tonnage, but I'm limited by the item count.

An infantry bay was a quick way to dump some of it.
