Notes:

Add 7000 to all trailer costs for the price of the Fuel Cell engine. The purpose of which is to power the trailer independent of a tractor or the command vehicle.

The idea is to have 1 command vehicle, 5 tractors, and 5 trailers move into an area and setup shop. The command hides as best it can to avoid direct attack while the trailers are setup in an array to assist each other and protect the command vehicle. The command coordinates all the trailers via the HQ, C3i, and Drone rigs and works as one integrated unit.

The BAP as per Karagin is present to prevent ambush of the array by hidden units. It also fills the roll of advanced sensors under double blind rules.

The ECM is to prevent the jamming of the array by the oppositions ECM. Sole purpose is ECCM.

The Omni is present to allow modular mass production of the trailer base and then equip it with whatever payload is necessary for the field.

Tactics are based on purpose and are pretty obvious based on the weapons load out.

Are the tractors supposed to leave as soon as they deployed the trailers?
With a well chosen distribution pattern this array will be nice with its C3i-network but the dispatched trailers would be easy to hit.

They will count as immobile targets that is for sure. The question is for the cost, the low cost of lives, and the ability to basically have mobile static turrets is it worth the -4 to-hit.

Frankly, i don't know.
