Vehicle Types The lighter vehicles are mostly centred around the Baumann GEV MICV. This can be equipped with a multi-shot Mantra light ATGW turret (useful, as previously stated, in an AAA role) or a Rapid Fire 3cm Powergun which - because of its low turret placement - is not optimised for AAA work. It’s a fast vehicle and - even with the efficient use of space that a powergun affords (and limited ATGW reloads) offers cramped space for two infantry units of around seven men. Additionally there is a dedicated Air-Defence variant (the M-411) which swaps the powergun for a wider arc weapon. This is a multi-barrelled gatling Rapid Fire Heavy coil-gun. Ammunition for this is bulky and this vehicle carries no additional infantry. Slightly smaller but more heavily armoured to the front and with a larger gun system is the Oldmann M-51 Light recce tank. This is equipped with a heavier Hi Intensity 10cm Powergun supported by a 2cm tribarrel powergun although - again - their is a multi-shot ATGW variant to supplement the AAA role. Larger vehicles include the Kochte M-84 MBT. This uses the same Hover skirted GEV system although with heavier armour and packing a larger 20cm powergun weapon supported by a 2cm tribarrel powergun. Finally, the heaviest - and newest - vehicle fielded is the Curtiss M-83 Blower tank. This is slower than the Kochte but boasts heavier armour. It’s not class leading but it is impressive, especially frontally. More importantly it carries an enhanced, Hi Intensity 20cm main gun along with the 2cm support weapon.
Based on the same design as the Baumann the Oldmann carries up to 7 infantry and uses a rapid fire 3cm powergun Both the Curtiss and the Kochte MBTs use a twin hatch turret with three crew and 20cm powerguns although the Curtiss has a HI gun
