Marines Armored Personnel Carrier (APC)

Recommended Posts

Following the Assault Gunship from a few days ago, here is an APC, cleary inspired by the "now-a-bit-old" M113.

It features lowering back access ramp (with two openable doors), access ramp for crew area, openable roof (emergency exit) on the rooftop.

It also features two light double barreled pulse cannons on the sides, and a third mounted on the missile turret on top.

The missile launcher carries four multi-purpose missiles (AA/AT), and is equipped with Image Recognition camera for target acquisition.

In front of each soldier there's a rack mount with his weapon.

The only issue now is: do I make it a sort of "floating" vehicle, like repulsorlifts in Star Wars, or do I make it tracked?

If the second, can anyone help me? I'm not good with tracks...

The APC is crewed by two men: Sergeant (Commander/Gunner) and Corporal (Pilot).

It carries one squad on the field, composed as follows:

Front view, you can see the pilot through the viewport (it's small, but it's only to supplement the instruments).

Crew access hatch open, you can see the pilot and the gunner/commander.

Privates Doe and Average are having hot coffee, in their lucky mugs, while on the way; war is no reason to stop with habits!
