================================================================================================
Overview:
The Fox Advanced Wheeled APC was an attempt of Buda Imperial Vehicles to modernize and
streamline the aging fleet of APCs.
Capabilities:
The Fox weighs eight tons and uses a fusion engine, ferro fibrous armor and a small pulse
laser. Compared to the standard wheeled APC this means it is 20% less in weight, 34% faster
and has an ammo-less weapon, but it has only 73% of armor equivalent and less firepower
while costing 50% more.
The infantry compartment increased by 50% though and can carry two squads of foot infantry
or even a squad of motorized infantry.
Deployment:
Buda Imperial Vehicles brought out a pre-production series of 20 vehicles for testing and
official demonstration.
But unfortunately the DCMS-officials deemed a fusion driven small vehicle for hauling around
small numbers of foot-sloggers as waste of effort and money.
The 20 vehicles were mostly sold to various interested parties like mecenaries but feedback
was too unenthusiastic to justify serial production.
Variants:
There are no official variants but some of the sold Foxes had field modifications done.
A notably modification was a forward observer variant that swapped the compartment for a
Beagle Active Probe and the pulse laser for a TAG.
