M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle

http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n333/atruria/m12.jpg

A highly versatile all-terrain vehicle utilizing a machine gun turret mounted in the back, the M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle is a mainstay of the Federation Naval Infantry. Conceived originally to be employed in a limited reconnaissance role, the M12 LRV is only lightly armored. However, its speed and firepower have made the M12 an effective force against infantry and other light vehicles, and even allowed it to enjoy a moderate degree of success against some armor, enabling it to be used more broadly, in a variety of cavalry-esque missions.

M12A1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle

http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n333/atruria/M12a1.jpg

The second addition to the M12 "Warthog" family of ground vehicles, the M12A1 LAAV is the former primary light anti-armor vehicle of the Atrurian armed forces. Abandoning the previous Warthog's anti-air machine gun, the M12A1 is armed with the much heavier SC-HE Rocket Turret. Essentially an anti-armor rocket launcher mounted on the back of the vehicle, the SC-HE certainly packs a punch, destroying enemy tanks with relative ease. On the flip-side, however, the M12A1's armament has found to be slow to reload, ineffective against infantry, and, at times, inaccurate.

M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle

http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n333/atruria/m12g1.jpg

The newest anti-armor vehicle to come out of the Warthog line, the M12G1 has in recent years, replaced the M12A1 as the Naval Infantry's primary LAAV. A fairly new design, the M12G1 was created out of a need to eradicate or minimize the inefficiencies found present in the M12A1. After a variety of experimental models, our researchers concluded that the M12A1's primary armament, the SC-HE Rocket Turret, should be replaced with a more modern one. Thus, the M68 Gauss Cannon was born. Firing hypervelocity, high-density projectiles, the M68 has a much more reasonable rate of fire than the outdated M12A1, and is generally more accurate. The M68's capabilities against infantry have actually lowered from those of the SC-HE, but as the M12G1 is primarily an anti-vehicular unit, researchers have deemed this fact inconsequential.

M831 Troop Transport

http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n333/atruria/m831.jpg

A vehicle key to the operational abilities of the motorized infantry divisions of the Federation Military's reserve components, the M831 is the latest transport vehicle to emerge from the Warthog family of light multirole vehicles. Employed primarily in a light troop transportation role, the M831 is lightly armored and has no armaments of its own. Instead, the back upon which other Warthog variants mount their weapons has been torn down and replaced with several more seats. However, provided that all passengers are equipped with modern assault rifles, the Troop Transport can be utilized as a surprisingly effective anti-infantry vehicle from any angle.

Crew: 5

Length; 6.1 meters (20 feet)

Height: 3 meters (9.75 feet)

Hull: ballistic polycarbonate, titanium & carbon nanotube
Armament: None

Price: $180,000

OOC: Couldn't have you at least changed the name so it isn't an exact clone of the Halo warthog?

OOC: How fun would that be?

OOC: How fun would that be?

OOC: Umm...more than blatantly copying a game vehicle, I would hazard.

OOC: Look, I don't wanna sound like an enormous dick, but its not that hard to ignore this thread if you don't like it.

M808 Battle Tank Series

M808B "Scorpion" Light Battle Tank

http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n333/atruria/m808b.jpg

The main vehicle of the Federation Naval Infantry's armored units, the Scorpion is a light battle tank, designed to suit the Naval Infantry's doctrine of mobile warfare. As a tank it is, of course, largely employed in an anti-vehicle capacity and enjoys near-invulnerability from most small-arms, save actual anti-tank weapons which can damage or completely destroy it, but is highly vulnerable to other anti-vehicular platforms. It's main armament, a tungsten-based high velocity is noted for its power, but also for its recoil, which can push the vehicle slightly backwards. It is also equipped with a machine gun and contains two passenger seats on either side of the tank. Though the passengers are on the outside of the tank and exposed to danger, they enable the Scorpion to serve a secondary purpose as an anti-infantry platform, if armed properly.

Length: 10 meters (32.8 feet)
Width: 2 meters (32.8 feet)
Mass: 66 tons
Max. Acceleration: 2 meters/second
Hull: Heavy Duty Ceramic-Titanium Armor
Armament(s):
- 90mm High Velocity Gun
- M247T7 .62mm Medium Machine Gun

Crew: 3
- 1 Driver
- 1 Primary Gunner
- 1 Secondary Gunner
Passengers: 4

Price: $3,000,000

M808C "Grizzly" Medium Battle Tank

http://i336.photobucket.com/albums/n333/atruria/m808c.jpg

A somewhat heavier upgrade of the Scorpion, the M808C Grizzly is often utilized in a role supporting other, more standard, armor units in Naval Infantry expeditionary operations. Like the Scorpion, it is a three-man vehicle, generally utilized in an anti-vehicular role, but also has the capacity to carry a four-man team that can give the tank a powerful anti-infantry capacity. Unlike the Scorpion however, the Grizzly is armed with several less-traditional and somewhat more eccentric weaponry. The Grizzly's main armament is a tungsten cannon, similar to that of the Scorpion, but with two barrels as opposed to the normal single-barrel gun; its secondary armament is a flamethrower, which can be used effectively as an anti-infantry weapon and a powerful weapon against certain types of buildings and flammable structures.

Length: 10 meters (32.8 feet)
Width: 2 meters (32.8 feet)
Mass: 70 tons
Max. Acceleration: 2 meters/second
Hull: Heavy Duty Ceramic-Titanium Armor
Armament(s):
- Double-Barrelled Cannon
- Flamethrower

Crew: 3
- 1 Driver
- 1 Primary Gunner
- 1 Secondary Weapon Operator
Passengers: 4

Price: $3,500,000

[OOC: I can only tell you that both Scorpion tanks are essentially paper dragons. They seem all powerful, but both have terrible armour that can get blown up by an RPG-29, and .62mm is not going to stop anything. A double-barrelled cannon is almost never a good idea, either. What is an M68 Gauss Cannon, anyway? We know nothing about your vehicles, really.]

ooc: I think it's supposed to 7.62, probably a typo.

OOCL Why did you choose a picture for your vehicle where it's on fire?
