The Wolverine Advanced Urban Combat Vehicle
http://www.jed.simonides.org/8x8afv/echo/exf_series/exf/exf_002.jpg
The Wolverine is an 8 wheeled AFV which was specially engineered for Urban Combat. With a relatively low weight of 29 tons and a 8x8 steering system it is very fast and agile. One of it's big advantages in urban combat scenarios is the fact that it can use it's advanced thermal imager to see through walls and rubble, reducing the likelyhood of an ambush. It can also see through street corners, enabling it to see other AFV's or tanks. The thermal imager provides a 360 degree view, has a range of almost 2km, and it's sensitivity is adjustable.
