Description
Type: Multipurpose AFV
Crew: 3 (Driver, Gunner, Commander)
Weapons: 120mm Autoloaded Cannon, 50 Cal Machine Gun, 7.62 Co-Ax. Mounted

Manufacturer: Avenel Land Systems

Overview:

Named the "Hunter" Tank, these tanks we're meant to be taken, to a combat area, capable of being remotely or physically piloted, or a semi-autonomous sentry mode. Some of he crew tasks like reloading the main gun have been automated cutting down the need for human operators. The vehicle still has crew compartments and can be driven and operated like a traditional tank.

The main weapon of the M42 is a 120mm cannon, designed for shooting targets from long distances, a stabilized 50 caliber gun, designed for attacking convoys and shooting on the move, and a 7.62 machine gun for self defense.

Builders Notes:

This is my actual tank entry for the INFV/AFV challenge, since I don't think chromed out rims and spoilers will do much in a conflict. I wanted to keep this tank simple, under 500 parts, but still have the fun details. Things like the fuel cans moving around on the stowage racks, smoke coming from the exhaust, and gear bouncing around as the vehicle travels and fires.

    @Viper_Z3R0 Definitely, it was a fun challenge, and you provided great chassis to build off of. I also have an Artillery version in the works too.

    Just updated the description. Still had the old stuff from the old post. Hopefully the controls makes sense.
