Sorry, mate. Basically, we fixated on an off-roading APC type, and settled into the scout car niche. I then consulted for a few minutes with Powder and Taricus about the design details for the Wikiwiki (Fast in Hawaiian). I do like your APC design, my main concern is cost and the fact that we don't yet have a Refocyte based cannon yet. The reason I want a smaller vehicle is because my plan of attack is infiltrate, scout, snipe, and sabatoge.

Edit: I am trying to play up the guerrilla warfare aspect of our army. The Refocyte Cart actually originates from a Vietnamese siege on an airfield where they supplied themselves and moved artillery via carts moved through the jungle, outsupplying I think the French.

I like the Wikiwiki because the refocyte superchargers ought to allow us to go F A S T and I want to go F A S T with C A R
(which should also boost our guerrilla aspects by having us just be anywhere, anytime, and we can kill you in over seven hundred different ways especially with how the engine should be relatively quiet)

Why not the ILV-1? Those two aren't even weaponized.

[Taricus]

The Wikiwiki has an MG, it's got a weapon.

EDIT: Besides, it's either voting for it, or letting the cart win the design voting.

Wikiwiki Armored Carrier

An armored personnel carrier designed to handle the harsh environments of Harren, the Wikiwiki is designed to move quickly and safely in harsh conditions.
The drivetrain is based off a dual-coil coilengine with attached supercharger.
This drive gives the Wikiwiki a top speed of 120 kph.
A sealed oil bath gearbox transmission placed in between the coilengine and the power train allows finer modulation of speed for the vehicle, and the coilengine only spins when the locking gear is released.
By locking the coils, the driver can safely change gears without harming the transmission.
The suspension is based on an individual wheel Refocyte alloy spring system that feeds energy back to the supercharger battery via nickel leads when the spring is under compression.
The springs are carefully set as to not extert torque, and instead only perform linear motion.
The vehicle has a 300mm ground clearance, and the axle and everything higher are internal, protected by a 10mm thick bottom panels.
The supercharger battery has a safety discharge in the form of internal low purity coil fans that are used to cool off the occupants and drivers.
The driver cab holds two people, the Gunner and driver, with a tempered glass windshield and steel tube roll bars, with removable 10mm steel body panels.
A hatch is built into the Gunner side to allow the operation of a pintle-mounted conventional machinegun.
The back is a flat bed with removable benches, steel tube roll bars, and a removable bed cover.
It seats 6 people.
When all covers are on, the cab and bed are both protected from the elements, supplemented by rubber seals.
The body armor is a uniform 10mm.
Finally, a towing hitch allows the vehicle to tow extra cargo and artillery.

I do love the Wikiwiki, but I also want to do an older design.

This design reads like Dwarf Fortress. Also, if the hatch is open, aren't they exposed to the elements? Why not some form of minor turret mount that can be controlled from the inside?
Likewise, Glass isn't the best for trapping heat, or keeping it out. Some form of conditioning would be useful.

[Taricus]

Tric, we're at roughly WW2 Tech. We ain't got no air conditioners, nor do we have remote turrets.

[TricMagic]

Do we have remote triggers though? As in just sticking two on the sides with a simple up, down, and left-right movement via joystick control.

[Taricus]

Yes, we don't have those either. I think you're overestimating our capabilities here.

[Doomblade187]

So, a fun little note- by nature of our technology, we are REALLY INEXPERIENCED with electronics of all kinds.
