It took me a second.

Does Lariatia use triangle handguards too? Or has it embraced/succumbed to the M16A2's cylindrical handguard?

At the point at which it had these it would still be using an SLR/G3 alike.

>implying it doesnt still have these

the ultimate urban combat weapon can see for dozens of yards into suburbia

firing ATGMs into 8th floor apartments.

no it's suburbia you're leveling mcmansions from 2 miles with thermobaric warheads

Truly a fate better then they deserve.

redistribution of construction components to the impoverished is the same end point

except it's at 300 meters per second instead of like 3 months per meter or however long it takes to demolish/recycle a mcmansion idk

Ooh. This looks like an interesting thread. Tagged.

Those aren't Namers and your idea is bad.

Yes, but it looks enough like one for me not to care. Also the idea is based on how Israel actually deploys it tanks, along with the Russians and many western nations. The only major difference is that I would have it present in regular units instead of just specific armored units.

Well that's certainly one way for a missile tank to fire from behind cover.

it's currently about 9.5 meters from the ground to the bottom of the missile bin, but i've decided that turret doesn't quite look right and the redesign looks like it's going to be a hair over 10m.

Achzarit is 100x cuter tho. :3

Wouldn't it be easier just to have a periscope and launch the missile upwards instead of putting the launcher on the end of "neck"?

CLOS missiles usually require LOS between the missile and the target. Even most F&F missiles need to be able to see the target with their seeker before launch. Missiles with BLOS capability like Spike-NLOS and EFOGM are rather rare. Putting the missiles in a raised box is cheaper and easier than developing an entire new missile for one vehicle.

A reinforced Infantry/Tank platoon. I kind of like the idea of a tank in an infantry unit to serve as a form of short range artillery and fight other armored vehicles should they accidentally bump in to them. Then the tank itself is boosted by the presence of infantry, who can go around and flank tanks, particularly with anti-rockets and weapons, like javelines, or a tow missile launcher mounted on the vehicle or AGM-114. So instead of 2-3 Bradley's per tank, it's a full infantry platoon of Namer APC's per tank. You could also have cannons on the APC, like 30mm or 40mm.

So, all of my frontline infantry divisions would have tanks attached to the platoon, serving as either anti-tank divisions when needed or anti-infantry. The squad is a 10 man squad, broke in to 3 fireteams of 3, with a marksmen attached for 10 men total. Each fireteam has 2 grenadiers and a machine gunner. 3 Squads make a platoon of 30 men, without any support units, relying on the 7.62mm machine guns they use instead of a larger machine gun like an M240 bravo, and the vehicles for .50 caliber machine guns and 40mm automatic grenade launchers. Then there's one support namer APC in the platoon, which both acts as refueling an rearming for the other vehicles, particularly the tank, and also has medics in it as well as stretchers. The namer in particular is designed to serve as a medical vehicle in all forms, with one stretcher even in ordinary vehicles. This kind of integrated medical support gives nearly instantaneous medical treatment which dramatically increases survival rates, although it requires a lot of medical training for a lot of people. The one unmanned support vehicle also has anti-tank missiles on it as well, which vary depending on type. I'm partial to the javeline and AGM-114, but the AGM-114 requires an integrated radar system and isn't really a stand-alone weapon. You can also use only lightly guided missiles to have it serve as rocket artillery. Typically also it has a mortar.

The support vehicle is an unmanned vehicle controlled by a member of the 6 man namer support team. This vehicle can resupply and refuel the other vehicles as well, as well as carries around a mortar and some heavy weapons like a machine gun, but is predominately designed as a support vehicle for the other one's. Being unmanned, it's thin armor is far less of a problem when refueling other vehicles. As 50% of losses in Iraq and Afghanistan were fuel convoys, and another 20% were water convoys, having these units be unmanned and somewhat armored reduces the death toll of the entire unit dramatically and allows it to operate 24/7 at the constant beck and call of the unit. Due to the size of the namer and it's power, it can be either an IFV or an APC, so it doubles in that role allowing it to attack the enemy. Not shown in the picture is the 40mm cannon or anti-tank missiles. This particular rifle squad also has no support units, as the average machine gunner is already using a 7.62mm negev and tavor. In the LSAT variant the round is caseless, giving it half the weight, and it's a 6.5mm instead which is more accurate and has a longer range. As well the namer APC and tank serve as weapon carriers, such as for a .50 caliber machine gun or 40mm grenade launcher.

Same thing as before, but "modernized" to have soldiers with face shields and 14 man namer's instead. Stretching a namer by 2-4 feet in length shouldn't add all that much extra weight. In all iterations, I forgot to add drivers to the namers, which is 2 soldiers.

I also like some of the modernized M113's out there, like the ACV-15 and ACV-19 for smaller/cheaper squads.
