    Bn had Linebackers and Avengers along with dedicated Stinger teams

    Yeah...probably should have called it a 'close relative'. It was during my time in an ADA BN in the ROK.

    Raise your hand if you've driven one. 🙋‍♂️ OK, sorta...I drove the derivative

    Potentially...but there's lots of drawbacks to it. 1. ammo...everything you pack for indirect is generally useless for direct fire against armored targets. 2. generally don't have the targeting systems capable of both. even if you do you have to make sure the turret can move barrel and chamber...

    Maybe sorta. I mean you certainly can and have seen tanks used in IF mode. The problem with making your artillery also an MBT is that you vastly increase the cost of said artillery. SP-Artillery doesn't need that sort of protection.

    It's like the F35...but with even more butts in the kitchen.

    Recommend something with a shotgun...maybe a .410 so the recoil isn't so bad.

    Yup, though I wouldn't be surprised to see something like the Avenger come back to assist in dealing with drone swarms. Especially for front-line defense.

    and too big to really be useful

    Which was a great way to handle it!

    Schreck PPC Carrier...for when you have to say "Hello" with lightning...LOTS OF LIGHTNING!!!!! There's a later variant, the II-X, which drops to 6xLight PPCs with 3xCapacitors...all tied to a targeting computer. It adds 15 tons to the beast (95t total) and increases to a heavier armor loadout...

    Some of the ugliest combinations I've ever used in the tabletop game have nothing to do with 'Mechs. -VTOL's mounting Arrow IV -Large groups of tanks with Semi-guided LRMs -BA and Infantry w/Light TAG My players hated me after that. :devilish: 🎆🎆

    getting the stabilizers off the ground to evac doesn't take that long.

    Plasma reaction instead of gunpowder.

    Does the crew have to leave the tank in order to make the extra rounds 'ready'?

    Ok, that makes more sense than what I was thinking!

    So...how long does it take to make 'ready' rounds from 'non-ready' rounds? What do you need to do that? Why would I want to?

    The poor missile cult...when we finally get the directed energy and rail weapons done up right.

    I could easily see an MBT conversion where the cannon and ammo are replaced with VL cells and/or mortar for rapid deployment of drones and anti-drone systems.

    MBT Gafield?
