Your prices are seriously low, especially with the high tech armor. I'd say triple them.

Good work, BTW. :cool:

OOC: (sp) Unveiled, camoflage, automatic, stabilise.

Change the 14mm GL on the Recon to a 20mm at the least. Mortars should be about 50mm therabouts.

Other than that, a fine vehicle, with good variant ideas. The Republik likes and will buy en masse. Give me a minute to calculate a few things..

OOC: What's the cost for an MS-25, now? It's still on 700k on the post.

OOC: Bah, I could've sworn that I changed that. It's $2,500,000. I might also create TOW and Stinger versions.
