I made this tank around 225 engine for Rudel's unit.
Low cost tank that uses many parts from
Vedette medium tank.

Oh, thanks!  But seems to be a wheeled design instead of a tracked! 49 x 5 = 245
-20 for wheeled = 225

Nice lowcost-tank and an alternativ to the Vedette you can think about!

It's a little more vulnerable thanks to wheeled construction, but stronger backup weapon and additional ammo can help in extended campaigns.
I hope your mercenaries will find it useful.

We had two different games! (My gamers-group had disintegrated and so I play BT only sporadically this time!)
For BT I have a unit under the Draconis Combine (swelling in 10 years of play from a Company of Mechs to a mixed Regiment!) called the Metal Ants!
For RPG I´m a member of a small mecenary-unit (Michael J. Schwerfer alias Rudel Gurken [an old codename]) under contract of the FWL!
My Kurita unit had the ICE and fielded one of the Conqueror Tanks!

You said that your unit got more than one engine and no vees use them, so I created something to make use of them.

Have to check my old sparepart-store!
If I play this unit again some time I´ll try these!
I´m playing BT seldom and without my unit due to the lack of BT playing friends!

I have similar problems, so I at least make some design work.

Designing can be as funny as playing
I decided to upgrade my regiment with the help of my C-Bills filling up the holes in my roster! Maybe I´ll take a Lance of these!

Gauntlet Medium Tank prototype
IS medium wheeled vehicle - level2
tonnage: 49t
internal structure: 5t
engine: 225 I.C.E. 20t
MP 5/8
heat-sinks: 0t
control equipment: 2.5t
turret: 1t
armor: standard 104 6.5t
armor
front: 25
R/L side: 20/20
rear: 14
turret: 25
Weapons and ammo allocation tonnage
AC/5 Turret 8t
AC/5 (20) Body 1t
SRM-4 Turret 2t
SRM-4 (25) Body 1t
SRM-4 Front 2t
This is original, more powerful variant, but it
cannot last so long thanks to weaker armor
and smaller ammo bay.
I remade it to make it a bit more useful on
longer missions.

| I really like this little toy for some reason, its better than the Vedette in some aspect thanks to its SRM4.
