Overview:
    Ironically just two years after rejecting the Fox Advanced Wheeled APC the DCMS called for
    tenders for a fusion driven APC.
    The new vehicle was required to carry a full platoon of foot infantry and should be able to
    combat enemy infantry and light armor alike.
    Buda answered with the Sentry Medium APC.

Capabilities:
    Originally designed as a 15 ton vehicle it fell between the 10 ton standard APC and the 20
    ton heavy APC and thus was named Medium APC.
    But the procurement officials protracted the design process with a couple of demand
    regarding the increase of firepower.
    When the first vehicle rolled off the assembly line it had grown to 20 tons just like the
    heavy APC. Nonetheless the name wasn't changed.
    The new APC can reach up to 140 km/h on roads and carries quite heavy firepower: two turret
    mounted medium lasers can make short work of enemy light APCs and two front mounted
    machineguns keep enemy infantry at bay.

Deployment:
    The DCMS used this for special infantry units deemed worth of better infantry transports
    than normal line infantry.
    Some were also given to loyal mercenaries.

Variants:
    No variants exist as of today.
