------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Ant, developed by SBIASBL as a cost efficient medium security vehicle to
be used in groups in anti personnel and anti light-medium mech incursions in
an urban environment
==Capabilities:==
The ant is primarily a pack hunter, built simply and inexpensively an
organization using the ant combat vehicle is capable of fielding at least 5-6
units for the same cost as a medium mech of a comparable tech level. The
armor of the ant is specially built to take advantage of urban combat with
the bulk of its armor located towards the forward portions of the vehicle.
Whoever this does leave the rear of the vehicle vulnerable but if employed in a
manner acknowledging this flaw the drawbacks should be minimized. The armament
of the ant is a simple cannon with srm2 packs mounted on either side of the
turret, as well as a forward mounted machine gun. alone these weapons are
nothing spectacular, but if one keeps in mind the ant is usually to be
deployed in groups of 3-7 the combined fire power of the vehicles begins to
become a problem for even well armored opponents. the final feature of the ant
is space in the rear of the vehicle for cargo or infantry. in a squad of 5
ants there is enough space to transport 4 standard infantry platoons or even 3
squads of power armor. these troops can offer key fire support from nearby
buildings or be used to take and hold locations in the event of an urban
seige.
==Battle History:==
The Ant has yet to see combat
==Variants:==
The only current variant of the Ant is the Worker -Ant SB-MV067-A which mounts a utility plow on the front of the vehicle for pushing through obstacles like roadblocks. the vehicle handles this weight by replacing the AC/5 main cannon with a pair of medium lasers
==Deployment==
Currently the first run of ants will be provided to SBIASBL security forces to
watch over its assets across Solaris VII, upon the start of the second
production run the vehicles will be made available to those outside SBIASBL's
sphere of influence

Slow and rather lightly armed. But the armor is just incredible, and helps make up for both flaws.

I don't see what on the vehicle makes it a level 3 unit.
Nice tank or FSV with support troops.

As far as I am concerned the only thing this tand has going for it is the armour which is impressive ...besides that it is WAY too slow easily by passed it is seriously under armed wich means that it is not enough of threat that it would be neccessary to take it out right away. and at 55 tons and over 800,000 C-Bills I do not see it being produced in large enough numbers to form packs plus the slow speed also works against pack tactics
