Auto Credit Based on Cedy117's CedCo M26 5.ton
Credit to Cedy117 for the M26 truck. VTOL and Trim to lay weapons. Pitch and Roll to steer. LandingGear to prepare system for firing. The M145 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, is a Paternian light, self-propelled multiple rocket launch system mounted on a standard 5-ton M26 truck. While lacking the sheer hitting power, tactical mobility, and resistance to counter-battery fire of the M720 MLRS, it is a far lighter, easier to maintain, and has superior strategic and operational mobility, and can fire the same variety of ammunition as the heavier system, including the ATACMS ballistic missile.

I've already got two: the 105mm Howitzer M484 and 155mm Howitzer M135 Paladin. The M484 is very similar to this, except it has a very different mount that faces backwards to allow the weapon to engage in direct fire. The M135 Paladin is a tracked vehicle influenced by the IRL M109 Paladin. @ErvenDynamics
