Hathaway Arms would enjoy any comments as this is our first design.
We will also be accepting small orders of 100 or less while we are expanding our factories. We hope to expand production soon.

If it had enough armor it would be good for conversions into a tank.

Way too heavy, would hate to do logistics for that thing.

(OOC) yes, a tank version does sound plausable. Im not sure what kind of armor the LRG-5 should have yet, since its a Self-Propeled Artillery type tank and wouldn't usually be deployed in the front lines. As mentioned, any suggestions would be good, as this is my first real design.

It probably could be lightned some. I wasn't sure one the weight, so I mixed a Challenger and a Howitzer for weight. Does 80,000 lbs sound more realistic?

Parthia would like to buy 50.

Certianly! They cost about 1.8 Million each, so that'll be about $90 million for the order.
The shipment will arive in 1 NS year.
Hope you enjoy them.
