Ares Arsenal-Bandit Artemis FSV Mk IIB
(1) activates turret, (2) activates RCWS, (3) activates engine, (7) fires the main gun. VTOL and Trim control left and right track direction respectively, Yaw can steer like normal car, Pitch controls elevation, Roll controls traverse.
A significant upgrade to the revolutionary Artemis design, it features much more modern features such as a 120mm M5A7 coilgun in an unmanned turret, the Sentry RCWS, and a more compact version of the Flexible Quad-Bogie system that was pioneered on the original Artemis.
The crew of three sits in an armored capsule in the hull of the vehicle, improving its survivability considerably in the event of a catastrophic kill. It features PSL-6 composite armor, and is able to withstand modern tank cannon at ranges of up to 1,000 meters.
Combining the integrated technology from the XM20 tank destroyer, it can theoretically be crewed by one man, although this is a capability only done in emergencies. While no replacement for current Paternian tanks such as the M5 Victoria and M6 Ardent, the Artemis is envisioned as a highly-mobile fire support vehicle, able to provide tank-like firepower with light tank maneuverability.

@Pilotmario it'll be possible to carry tanks.
@PyrusEnderhunter Cool!
@Pilotmario by the way. I am making a new Dropship for my fleet!
@PyrusEnderhunter This is based on a machine that was designed nine months ago.
@Pilotmario lol.. ever since the I.S.F.O.S came, people have been trying hard to counter my tech :P
Good point. @MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation
@Pilotmario But multiple tank thread sections... You knock one out, you still have 3 others to go.
But yeah if you hit the middle, the transmission might screw up for others. Unless it's completely independent, in which case it would really complicated for the driver.
@Gmanndo1000 It certainly was ahead of its time.
Look futuristic
Ok@JakeTheDogg
LOVE IT!
@JakeTheDogg opinions?
@MemeKingIndustriesAndMegaCorporation Actually the main issue was with the ease of immobilization with antitank weapons. The vehicle's transmission was prone to such in tests when the arms were hit, and thus was part of the reason why the original never entered service in the Paternian Army.
Indeed this would be hard to immobilise, But that's not difficult for our tanks lol.
