Auto Credit Based on Pilotmario's Tracked, Armored, Multipurpose, M125
The M125 FSV is a Paternian light assault gun based off the M125 armored personnel carrier. It features the hull of the M125 and the turret of the M20 Beagle armored car. This particular variant is fitted with with applique spaced armor for improved protection against HEAT ammunition. The "EPP" suffix, standing for "Enhanced Protection Package" is added to denote this upgrade. The EPP, while providing superior protection agianst HEAT projectiles, reduce its amphibious capabilities. The kit was generally applied to command and FSV vehicles, since they were high priority targets, as it increased wear on the suspension and made engine maintenance more difficult.

@Flash0of0green It's okay.
@Pilotmario i would image such a tank would be good for RP.
@Flash0of0green Yes. It's a flamethrower tank.
I'm planning to make an M132 Zippo. It's basically an M113 with a flamethrower.
@Pilotmario what's just say it's comfortable on the Spartan way. On a different topic I have a bill concept for you to try, ever heard of the Flammpanzer III?
No, unfortunately. @Flash0of0green
@Pilotmario have you ever ridden in an APC before? I have and not that long ago.
@KDS It could be considered a light tank though, as it is employed in the role the Paternian Army employed their light tanks for; fire support for reconnaissance and expeditionary elements where main battle tanks could not be brought to bear.
As such, it was designed to accompany M125 TSV and M125 APC units, hence why it was built off the M125 chassis. We had a light tank based off the M125 chassis, but this basically killed the design.
Then again, the Paternian Army considers the T-55 in their service as a light tank for these reasons.
Yes. Not a very good one due to the fact that any normal tank should shred it's armor because it's armor is anti heat weapons, @Pilotmario
@JakeTheDogg It could be used for anything the M113 was used for.
@KDS Would you consider this a tank?
We want production rights for this.
