Historical Note:

The M52 VLS-LMV was a, well unique vehicle because the tank did not featured a Turret but instead it featured a fixed VLS missile launcher with radar in it, the tank can also be super low profile by uninstalling the radar and installing the TGP (Targeting Pod) to make it super difficult for enemy forces to spot and the crew was reduced to 3, all of them seated in the hull, it has a fuel tank in front alongside with the composite armor, the Tank can fire the AIM-9 Sidewinder Missiles for Air Defense, Hellfire Missiles for destroying enemies and a outside Tomahawk missiles for destroying heavily armored targets like Maus, T-72B3, T-90M, and ZTZ99 Series, the tank only had one machine gun but instead of the usual turret, it was mounted in a hull but however when installing the TGP, the machine gun had to be removed because a machine gun fire from the hull roof mounted MG can severely damage the TGP, rendering it inoperable.

Info:

Missiles: AIM-9X Sidewinder, AGM-114 Hellfire, BGM-109 Tomahawk (Outside)(Optional)
