may i suggest a variant:

drop a spl or mpl for a flamer or two.

flamers deal full damage vs targets [infantry] inside of buildings. other weapons suffer damage drop determined the cf value.

just a suggestion.

also as another variant, i would drop the st srm 2's for standard srm 2's. that way i could use inferno rounds.

oh and fyi: if i am posting a variant. it means i like the base design.

Interesting. I don't think a glorified bulldozer needs an active probe. I would replace that with armor.

the dozer attachment is much like the hedge cutters placed on shermans in ww2. its an incase item for this fairly dedicated city fighter.

You never know when you will have to invade central park.

I like the dozer attachment, that makes it more useful for city units. That enables them to use it for more than just fighting. Especially outside city limits out in the suburbs. They had to add stuff like that to the Shermans in WWII in order to get through all those hedges in Europe. Tanks can plow through them without a dozen but it can slow them down just enough that they become vulnerable.

As a side note, with a blade ont he front does that mena this can push aside parked cars when lumbering through town?
