Its a lightly armoured recon vehicle, looks to be the size of a land rover in the pic. Did I mention the 30mm Rarden Cannon?
Basicaly a british bradley minus the TOW's. Uses the same cannon as the scimtar, as well as a 7.62 hughes chaingun(according to FAS.org) The latter is obvious, however its cool so I included it anyways.

Oh yeah I think someone was saying that the 50. cal in the land rover model was way out of proportion, but in that pic it looks to be the right size.

Kinda, however, take a look at gun it's self. Between the reciever(dunno if thats right) and the barrel, theres that big cone thing with the holes. On the model its really big, and that throws off its apearance. Can we get a pic of the .50 alone, with a person next to it?
On topic!
What do you think of these vehicles.

Oh right, that little tracked vehicle reminds me of some little tank the British had in WWII I forget what it was though. Any way how fast can it go? I mean its so small it can probably go around 50.

Well if you decided to make speeds realistic then why not make the jets go mach 2? It just isn't reasonable sometimes.

Yea, it's a recon vehicle, not a tank killer.

Your point? I know this, and I stated it in my post. In game it would be set up as driver, and gunner. Gunner fires the main cannon as well as has the spotting ability. Recon isn't only spotting for artilary ya know. Its going ahead of the main force and finding out whats there. With 2x the speed of a main battle tank, and a hefty gun for self defense as well as armoured enough to protect it from infantry(except AT) its one hell of a recon vehicle. Its also no bigger than a landrover, wich means its easy to hide and watch a flag from the distance.
