==Overview:==
The idea behind the Dragoon IFV was a simple one, make an APC that can transport and support infantry while on the battlefield but be flexiable enough to be able to withdraw both the infantry and it's self if needed.
==Capabilities:==
The Dragoon has decent fire support for engaging the enemy from afar at the request of the infantry commander who can call in indirect fire from the platoons Dragoons in the form of the LRM5 racks.
The medium lasers come in handy for the suppressing fire during deploying and redeploying of the infantry in battle.
==Deployment==
In service all over the Inner Sphere and the Periphery.

The LRM 5 is two tons and the ArtIV is a ton added to the launcher...so it's 4 tons for the whole thing including 1 ton of ammo.
HMVee is what I used to make the IFV...I am a little confused here on what you are looking for?

Just kicking around an idea. I like the design. But hate the LRM. Just trying to see what I could put in it's place.

On paper I had a Streak 4 in it's place but it didn't feel right to me.
Another idea was going with something bigger but I didn't want the IFV to be heavier...the LRM was sorta the fall back thing.
Let me know what you come up with for a replacement to the LRM and if you use it let me known please out it does.
Thanks.
