An artillery tractor, or prime mover, of the Pilotmario Army. Used to tow artillery pieces such as 155mm guns and 105mm howitzers. Built on the chassis of the Scorpion light tank, the transmission was modified in order to allow for greater torque. Although armored sufficiently to protect against artillery fragmentation and rifle-caliber munitions, it is unarmed. It is crewed by a commander and driver, and can carry the six-man crew of the artillery piece with it as well as some ammunition and parts. In the field, the artillery tractor also has served as a general purpose transport for units in soft and boggy terrain, and has been employed as a de facto snowcat for use in snowy or muddy surfaces. On forward airfields near artillery batteries, this also serves as an aircraft tractor.

@Multidimensional I suppose.
Yes they will. @Thej611
@Pilotmario Thank you!! The Air Force also needed them for dragging planes. They will do nicely for that.
No problem! Have fun dragging artillery! @Thej611
@Pilotmario Got it. Thanks!!!
Bind some keys to trim and VTOL. @Thej611
@Pilotmario How do you make it drive? Lol I'm on Mac, so I don't have the touch screen
I see. @DragonAerotech
We could, but this thing is solely designed to transport fixed artillery from point A to point B. @Gmanndo1000
@Pilotmario Agreed, I've wanted to do an amphib jeep for weeks now but my country in the RP I'm in is under too much pressure to focus my attention on stuff like that. I started the RP with two comrades representing the same country. One was banned the other quit the RP. -_-
Maybe you could launch small micro-drones from it!
@DragonAerotech I think the site is filled with too many combat types. Here's a refreshing glace at the oft-forgotten logistics machines.
And a APC, although bugs have slowed my progress. @Pilotmario
@PINK I see.
We are working on a heavy transport truck for a similar role.
