My nation's ground forces consist entirely of a squadron of tanks that no longer move, run, or even protect their passangers against rain, and some million odd active-duty military infantry (Thats an explanation for another time) that have... nearly no vehicles.
So, I have two needs for my military, and I have the basics of 'em in my head.
1. Chocolate-series APC. A basic Armoured Personell Carrier, it needs to have a large ammount of space for carrying infantry, and enough armor to protect against light arms fire, with firing holes for the infantry to shoot back with their own rifles, or mount machine/gatling guns through them. I'm looking for more strategic speed than tactical or actual combat capability. Must be lowish-tech, say 1970s max - but being built at a 2010ish level, if that helps anything.
2. Sugar-series Light Tank. I'm not looking for a tank destroyer, I'm looking for a fast tank that could tank out other lightly armored vehicles - for instance, a Chocolate-series APC. Again, speed is an issue, as would low crew counts. The armor should be enough to withstand a glancing blow from another light-tank cannon, but the armor and weaponry wouldn't allow it to fight a Main Battle Tank. Same tech limitations as above.
I'm not even looking for a 'perfect' design. Something that is rough around the edges will do, as these would be the first such vehicles ever made by the Republic of Lanquassia...
What I'm looking for: Crew sizes, weight, armor, weaponry, carry capacity, an idea of speed, and an idea of cost.
....help?
