Armament: 1x120mm, 3x7.62mm, 1x60mm mortar
Ammunition: 42x120mm
Armor: 430mm (940mm)
A massively upgraded M60 Patton MBT. This boasts a 120mm gun designed for smaller turrets, which has similar recoil to 105mm weapons, as well as upgraded armor, suspension, and the addition of a 60mm mortar.
Cost: $2.2 million (new), $1.75 million (upgrade of an existing M60)
M60-2000 MBT
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 55,000 kg
Max Speed: 48 km/h
Max Range: 550 km
Armament: 1x120mm, 2x7.62mm, 1x12.7mm
Ammunition: 42x120mm
Armor: 450mm (800mm)
Another upgraded version of the M60, this one boasting the complete turret of an M1A1 Abrams, as well as modern armor and suspension that bring it up to the M1A1 in almost every category but speed, but for only half the price.
Cost: $2.3 million (new), $1.9 million (upgrade of an existing M60)
M48A7 Marauder
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 53,000 kg
Speed: 51 km/h
Range: 500 km
Armament: 1x105mm M68, 1x12.7mm, 2x7.62mm
Armor (max): 475mm (1040 against HEAT)
This is a heavily modified M48 done to a standard simlar to the Sabra and M60-2000. It has been upgraded with new armor, a slightly improved engine, and fire control that brings it close to the IPM1 in capability, with speed being the only area where it falls behind that unit. It is, however, significantly lighter and cheaper.
Cost: $1.8 million, $1.5 million (upgrade of M48)
M60A3 MBT
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 52,617 kg
Max Speed: 48.28 km/h
Max Range: 480 km
Armament: 1x105mm, 1x7.62mm CMG, 1x7.62mm AAMG
Ammunition: 63x105mm, 900x12.7mm 5950x7.62mm
Armor: 260mm
An upgraded variant of the M60 tank. The primary improvments are in fire control, with the integration of a thermal sight, ballistic computer, and laser rangefinder combining for significantly improved accuracy. In fact, the TTS (Tank Thermal Sight) on the M60A3 is widely regarded as being easily one of the best units of its kind ever fielded. It's only due to its high cost and large size that it was not adapted on the M1 series. However, though it is significantly better than the original M60, it's still not quite up to going against a modern force. It retains almost the same firepower and protection, still lacking composite armor.
Note: Can be upgraded to Sabra, Sabra II, or M60-2000 standard at a later date.
Cost: $800,000 (new), $500,000 (used)
M60 MBT
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 52,617 kg
Max Speed: 48.28 km/h
Max Range: 480 km
Armament: 1x105mm, 1x7.62mm CMG, 1x7.62mm AAMG
Ammunition: 63x105mm, 900x12.7mm 5950x7.62mm
Armor: 250mm
This is an old, Vietnam-era tank. In addition to the less advanced fire control and communications gear, it lacks the composite armor of most modern tanks, and is thus much more vulnerable to HEAT projectiles. However, it has only a fraction of the cost of newer models, and the 105mm gun (a variant of the exceptional British 105mm L7) gives it decent firepower. The vehicle is also quite easily upgraded, which makes it good for armies that are just starting out.
Note: Can be upgraded to Sabra, Sabra II, or M60-2000 standard at a later date.
Cost: $500,000 (new), $300,000 (used)
M48A5 MBT
Crew: 4
Combat Weight: 49,987 kg
Max Speed: 48.2 km,h
Max Range: 498 km
Armament: 1x105mm, 3x7.62mm MG
Ammunition: 54x105mm, 10,000x7.62mm
Armor: 220mm
This is an upgraded version of the old Korean War-era M48, giving it the armament and fire control of the later M60. Though not as advanced as the M60, it's even cheaper, and still has room for improvements.
Note: Can be upgraded to M48A7 standard at a later date.
Cost: $450,000 (new), $200,000 (used)
M61 Ontos II
Crew: 3
Combat Weight: 9600 kg
Speed: 56 km/h
Range: 320 km
Armament: 6x106mm Recoilless Rifle, 1x7.62mm
Ammunition: 30x106mm, 1000x7.62mm
Armor: 20mm
An upgraded version of the original M50 Ontos with improved performance and reliability. This vehicle boasts a turret mounting an impressive 6 106mm recoilless rifles, and is used as a cheap direct fire support platform. The rifles are mounted on the outside of a turret with limited traverse (80 degress), and up to two of them can be detached and mounted on tripods for infantry use. The low cost, light weight, small size, and high firepower of this unit make it an effective support weapon for infantry assaults in restricted terrain (cities, forests, etc). The primary drawbacks of this weapon are the backblast of the rifles, which prevents infantry from taking cover behind the vehicle and gives away its position when fired, and the need for the weapons to be reloaded in the open after they’ve been fired.
Cost: $180,000 new, $100,000 used
M113A4 MTVL
Crew: 2 + 11
Weight: 16,500 kg
Speed: 66 km/h
Range: 480 km
Armament: 1x12.7mm mg, 1x7.62mm mg
This is a lengthened M113 with a light enclosed turret and a number of other improvements. The increased length means that despite the turret, the troop capacity hasn’t diminished. However, the vehicle gains 4000 kg in weight, which makes it a little too heavy for some operations, especially with the C-130, though it’s still airdroppable thanks to improved suspension. The lengthening has also increased performance, providing better control and reduced ground pressure, even when factoring in the additional weight. There’s also provisions for additional armor to be added, providing significant protection, giving it the same protection as the M2A2 Bradley.
Cost: $700,000
M113A3 APC
Crew: 2 + 11
Weight: 12,336 kg
Speed: 66 km/h
Range: 480 km
Armament: 1x12.7mm mg
Ammunition: 2000x12.7mm
Armor: 44mm, appliqué armor provides protection against 14.5mm
The modern version of the M113 APC. It’s somewhat heavier than the earlier models, but is 10% faster and has better armor protection, as well as superior automotive performance, including steering, acceleration, and suspension.
Cost: $400,000 (new), $225,000 (upgrade of earlier M113 models)
Casspir APC
Crew: 2+12
Combat Weight: 11,800 kg
Speed: 90 km/h
Range 770 km
Armament: 1-3x7.62mm mg
This is an interesting vehicle, which was designed specifically to transport troops in areas where there was a significant mine threat, and is easily among the best in its class. The vehicle uses a V-shaped monocoque hull combined with a high ground clearance to protect troops inside from mine detonations. The vehicle is able to protect the troops inside from a triple TM-57 mine blast (21 kg TNT) under any wheel, or a double (14 kg) under the hull itself. It’s also rugged, reliable, and easy to repair, even after being struck by mines, and is renowned for its excellent cross-country performance. The vehicle has ballistic protection against 7.62mm ball rounds, with improved protection against 7.62mm AP being an option, and is usually armed with 1 or 2 7.62mm machine guns. Additional weapons ports along the side allow the infantry inside to utilize a variety of weapons as well.
Cost: $120,000
M198 towed howitzer
Crew: 9
Combat Weight: 7,154 kg
Armament: 1x155mm FH, crew weapons
Weapon Range: 22.4 km (30 w/ assisted projectile)
This is a slightly dated, though still effective field howitzer. As with most other towed weapons, it's light enough to be used in airborne and airmobile operations, though it is only carried by heavy transport units like the CH-47 and CH-53.
Cost: $525,000
M119A1 towed howitzer
Crew: 6
Combat Weight: 2050.3 kg
Armament: 105mm howitzer, crew weapons
A very light field howitzer primarily for supporting airborne and airmobile troops. Its light weight ensures that it can be carried by most utility and transport helicopters. It doesn't have the range of larger systems, reaching only 19 km with assisted projectiles and its shells don't quite have the power of 155mm units either. However, it can sustain much higher rates of fire, which alone makes it a deadly weapon.
Cost: $300,000
M102 towed howitzer
Crew: 8
Combat Weight: 2,260 kg
Max Speed: towed
Max Range: towed
Armament: 1x105mm FH, crew weapons
Weapon Range: 11.5 km
This is a very small and light 105mm weapon, and pays for that with range and power. Still, the low weight and high rate of fire make it rather effective, if not as good as the newer M119
Cost: $195,000
M120 heavy mortar
Crew: 5
Caliber: 120mm
Weight: 145 kg
Effective Range: 7200 m
Minimum Range: 200 m
This weapon is almost equivalent to some light howitzers in range and firepower. Unfortunately, it's not as mobile as lighter mortars, and can't be carried by infantry over long distances. Still, it's a powerful support weapon.
Cost: $130,000
M282 medium mortar
Crew: 3
Caliber: 82mm
Weight: 40.41 kg
Length: 14,224 mm
Effective range: 5800 m
Minimum Range: 80 m
This is a modified version of the M252 mortar that was widened to 82mm so that it could fire both 81mm and 82mm mortar ammunition instead of just the former. It also boasts a relatively light weight and high rate of fire.
Cost: $24,750
M224 light mortar
Crew: 2
Caliber: 60mm
Weight: 21.11 kg (8 for lightest configuration)
Length: 1016mm
Maximum Effective Range: 3490 m
This is a very light, easily transported mortar system that provides light indirect fire support for infantry forces. Its main benefits are its small size and high rate of fire, being able to sustain an impressive 20 rounds per minute over extended periods.
Cost: $10,700
Shadow RSTV
Combat Weight: 3700 kg
Crew: 2 + 3
Speed: 115 km/h
Range: 800 km (40 km on batteries)
Armament: TOW launcher or MG/AGL optional
Equipment: Mast Mounted Sight (3m mast)
This is a very small, very light recon vehicle designed to be capable of being carried internally in a V-22 Osprey, making it very attractive for marine units, as this is one of very few solid scout vehicles capable of being carried in such a manner. For such transportation, the vehicle’s suspension system allows the tires to be pulled in and the ground clearance to be dropped to allow it to fit within the V-22’s cargo bay. The unit has minimal armor and firepower, but does maintain a mast similar to that of the Red Fox. However, this is only 3/5 as long, so it is a bit more limited. The vehicle has multiple redundancies for survivability, as well as an alternate battery propulsion, which, when used, provides a greatly reduced sound and heat signature, helping to avoid detection at critical moments. Though normally lacking in unmanned vehicles, there are options for up to 3 additional crew members, and only 2 of these are needed to transport a full Force Recon squad.
Cost: $100,000
ASV-2150
Combat Weight: 15,000 kg
Crew: 2 + 3
Speed: 120 km/h
Range: 750 km
Armament: 1x40mm AGL, 1x12.7mm mg
Ammunition: 600x40mm, 800x12.7mm
Armor: 45mm (50mm)
An armored car designed primarily for police work. It’s simple and rugged, and is much cheaper than advanced units with their digital systems and expensive features. While intended for the security role, it’s also good as a cheaper recon vehicle for those who can’t afford the extravagant units otherwise offered.
Cost: $350,000

G3A6 assault rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO
Weight: 4.5 kg
Length: 1023mm
Barrel: 450mm
Magazine Capacity: 20 rounds
An upgrade of the venerable G3 rifle, which has given sterling service to numerous countries over several decades. Though it's old and chambered for a larger round, the people of Clan Smoke Jaguar recognize that sometimes a 5.56mm weapon just won't do, and it's significantly cheaper than more modern weapons.
Cost: $425
M40A1 sniper rifle
Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester)
Operation: Bolt action
Weight: 6.58 kg

Operation: Semi-auto
Weight: 6.4 kg
Length: 1165 mm
Barrel length: 600 mm
Magazine capacity: 5 or 20 rounds
Effective range: 800+ m
This is a sniper rifle designed to provide direct support of front-line troops. As such, it sacrifices some accuracy to achieve a higher rate of fire. This particular weapon is one of several sniper rifles based on the G3 and has much in common with the more famous, and far more expensive, PSG-1 sniper rifle.
Cost: $2200
M249A3 SAW light machine gun

This is an upgraded version of the original M249, boasting improved accuracy and reliability. It’s a light machine gun that uses the 5.56mm rounds that have become the standard for many assault rifles. Though normally belt-fed, the gun can fire from M-16 type magazines without modification.
Unit Cost: $4000
MG-4 LMG
Caliber: 5.56x45mm NATO
Weight: 6.5 kg
Length: 810/1050mm stock folded/extended
Feed: belt & box
Rate of Fire: 800 rpm
An alternative unit to the M249 SAW/FN Minimi. This is a newer weapon, so it's more advanced and reliable than many versions of the M249, but is otherwise similar in capability.
Cost: $4000
MG-5 LWMG
Caliber: 7.62x51mm NATO
Weight: 8.2 kg empty
Length: 1000mm
Rate of Fire: 700 rpm
Also known as the Mk.48, this is a standard M249 SAW that's been expanded to use the 7.62mm round rather than the 5.56mm, and provides the firepower of a medium machine gun with the smaller size and weight of the SAW.

Cost: $1480
AN/PVS-7 NVG
Weight: 0.68 kg
Standard night vision goggles. Not too much else to say here.
Cost: $2500
