Rissian Tracked TAC Missile Tank

Rissian Tracked TAC Missile Tank (TECH LEVEL A)

Colonel Ryan uses twenty of these tanks in two armored companies in Colonel Ryan's Rissian Regiment. The vehicle has a crew of 4 (driver, gunner, gunner/loader, and commander). They are designed to be inexpensive. The weight of the armor precludes amphibious operations. The suspension has higher ground pressure than other vehicles in the unit and requires some extra maintenance as a result. It mounts a stabilized turret on the chassis deck, with a LMG and three TAC missile rails which requires three crew to externally reload manually.
