Fire Fusion & Steel has slightly different stats. Any weapon I tried to match in FFS using real world values is either 30-50% heavier (if matching capability) or is underpowered (if matching physical size, weight of weapon & projectile).

I always liked the Universal Carrier, aka the Bren Gun Carrier.

There are many more practical vehicles, I know...

OK, it's up; but worse; I discovered that I never uploaded my last update at all!:o

I thought it had been a while - that's what brought me back here actually, looking to see if you were still in the land of the living!

Hey Paul, my apologies for being the bearer of bad news, but the link for the WW2 pdf is not working :(

SPA-Viberti AS.42 Sahariana
 
SPA-Viberti AS.42 Sahariana

WW2 Italian reconnaisaance car, rather like an oversized dune buggy. Used the same chassis as the AB 41 armoured car, including its four-wheel steering, specifically for desert operations, primarily in a reconnaissance role.

Fast, long-ranged, maneuverable, armed with MGs and/or 20mm autocannon, or even a 47mm cannon.

The Sahariana engine located in the rear which gave it enough space in the middle of the hull to accommodate up to five fully equipped men and weapons, though the mission crew seldom exceeded three or four. The open compartment's only overhead protection was a waterproof canvas sheet. The AS 42 had front and rear internal fuel tanks of 200 litres each with an additional 24 externally mounted jerrycans holding 80 litres of water and 400 litres of fuel.

The AS 42 Sahariana's performance was very good, but it was expensive to manufacture and the vehicle was mechanically complicated.

Seats 4-5. On of the best high-mobility vehicles produced before the HumVee. And I love the big tires.
