Wershian Armed Forces: Armored Units and Infantry Support Vehicles (WIP)

THE ARMORED CALVARY OF WERSH!

M1299 Howitzer
A 155mm Self propelled howitzer that uses a L/58 XM907 Long range gun. This vehicle uses a special round called the XM1113 rocket-assisted round, with an effective range of 70km.

Specifications

600 hp

Griffin II
The Griffin II is a light tank, designed with the idea of being a advanced light Infantry Fughting Vehicle in addition to a recon or forward unit Armored option. The tank features a rear mounted turret with remote controlled coaxial machine gun on the roof of the turret, and a internal machine gun for the driver in the event of encountering dismounted Infantry in close proximity. The Griffin II has several Infantry centric design elements, including car like headlights and cameras on all blind spots of the vehicle to provide a 360* view around the tank to the driver at all times, allowing for heightened situational awareness. The 105mm cannon has plenty of punch thanks to advances in ballistics made in the last 15 years. The Griffin II isn't the first choice for an IFV, but it will keep the soldiers safe who choose to stick to it.

Abrams X
The Abrams X is a step into a futuristic Battlefield where the data link between air and ground systems could mean life or death, regardless if the system being data linked is manned or Unmanned. The Abrams X takes a step away from a traditional Abrams SEP design in that the crew no longer occupies the turret. Rather, they are located in the front section of the hull, with the turret being remote controlled from within the tank. The tank features two new armament choices, one being the XM1147 All Purpose Round, designed to use a smart fuse that detonated at different times based on the reaction to the armor it hits, or lack thereof, and the addition of a remote controlled 30mm chain gun instead of the traditional .50 cal on the roof of the Abrams X, providing the vehicle with another option to take down lightly Armored targets without using the main gun. The turret is equipped with two 360* sensors that collaborate to provide a comprehensive next gen look outside the tank to the occupants via Helmet mounted displays, allowing each member of the crew to designate targets, identify friendlies, and scan for threats in conjunction with their tasks within the tank. The Abrams X is a more survivable and rugged take on an old classic, and represents another massive leap forward into the boundless steps of the future.

M3 Bradley M FiST
The M3 Bradley is an IFV with the sole purpose of accompanying, assisting, and protecting Infantry in hot zones or areas with a known enemy armor presence. The M3 is equipped with a 25mm chain gun armed with APFSDS rounds and a coaxial in turret mounted 7.62 machine gun to deal with Infantry. The Bradley also has access to two dual tube ATGM launchers for dealing with threats that the 25mm chain gun cannot penetrate. The Bradley has the capacity to be linked to an integrated data link system to coordinate with ground and air vehicles and Unmanned systems to allow easier calling of strike packages and medical evacuation services. This vehicle is designed to operate in pairs, with one vehicle being designated Anti Tank and the other being a support vehicle for the Infantry company they accompany. Optimal operating numbers are 35 soldiers per 2 Bradley's, or One Bradley for 10 infantrymen.

ICV/MGS Stryker
The Stryker is a multipurpose system for both ANTI AIR and Armored Personel uses, with systems such as LAV D and command variants being abundant. The APC features light armament over the Anti air or anti armor variants, but is more heavily armed than the command variant. This vehicle is designed to quickly rush into a zone, drop off 5-9 soldiers, and run to hard cover again to regress to either support at distance or fetch more troops, with multiple vehicles being used to assist swarm tactics on hard points and tactical objectives. The Stryker has also seen use as an Anti Drone Lazer platform, using a high frequency Lazer to fry the internal systems of the UAV and force it to land or crash where it can then be recovered and captured. The use of the Stryker is vast, and it's platform makes up a bulk of the light Armored Vehicles in this army of Wersh.
