The Twat and Prick are meant to engage other tanks,the Git, recon and infantry support.
Note, twat,prick and Git are not there actual designations, I was bored.

The Twat, the main tank of the Fusiliers, is more of the classic infantry tank, and the Prick is an actual infantry tank in function(Slow but well-armored and armed).

Infantry tanks are slower and heavily armored because their job is to support infantry with their armor, being able to break through fortifications the infantry would otherwise have a hard time penetrating. They don't need to be that fast because foot infantry aren't fast to begin with, and their ability to wade into fire to protect infantry when needed is what makes them valuable.
Cavalry tanks are designed to be faster so that they can provide the mobility generally associated with cavalry tactics, allowing them to exploit breakthroughs and strike more vulnerable enemy positions.
Nowadays of course both are merged into the main battle tank, which is as fast as the old cavalry tanks and as armored as the old infantry tanks.

Unreleased your a Ragon ParaJager, in which you are expected to go into heavily defended areas and win.
If your pilot doesn't crash before you get there, that how much Ragon pilots suck.

RE: FOIA #14-0097 RE: Freedom Of Information Act - Technical Data (UNCLASSIFIED)
This email serves as a follow up response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for Technical reports on the MTU 6R890 and MTU 883 engines, particularly data regarding fuel consumption (for JP-8 and ASTM-D975), mean time between failures, power output, torque curves and heat generation.
Your email dated April 7, 2014 suggested I check with the Ground Combat Vehicle Project Management Office (GCVPM). This email is to confirm the Ground Combat Vehicle Project Management Office never tested these engines. General Dynamic Land System is the prime contractor using this engine for the GCV program so you will have to contract them or MTU directly for this information.
I was also told the GCVPM tested an older version of the MTU 883 engine in the late 1980s, Technical Report #13461 dated March 1991. This report can be obtained by contacting Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC)

Not many sensible people propose parachuting commandos directly onto enemy troops. That's the sort of thing you'd see CAR doing.
The Ragon are in sci-fi tech through.
The Gaiaverse warfare is basically two different kinds, during Rebellions and dealing with rebels, it is more modern, mobile and greater focus on lighter vehicles.
When two nations square off, it becomes like Korea,WW2 and one, trench warfare, large tank battles, aerial dogfights, grueling urban warfare and even beach landings if I'm in the mood.

If you're wanting to drop troops directly onto an enemy, even in FT/sci-fi, you're officially worse at tactics than...dare I say it? Steppe. I said it.
Also drop the names. Even a machinegun as awkward as the M60 only got called the 'Pig', and as a British person, I'd laugh my tits off hearing someone call a tank 'prick' with a straight face.

I didn't have a straight face when I made their names,which are temporary, I just wanted to have fun.
I know, but as an excuse, the Ragon warfare is....unconventional to say the least.
They still use melee troops, as shock troops and to drive enemies out of cover.

Oh. Purposefully incompetent army.
Ah well, fair enough then. Moving on, question for the topic at large; I'm looking at designing an MGS for motorised battalions. Should I take 105mm's off some of my defunct light tanks, or carry on with the 90mm Cockerill MP gun?
