Description
A concept sketch that sat in my notebook for several years receiving more layers of lead over time. Finally finished it a while ago and cleaned it up in Photoshop.

Intended to have either a 75, 90, or 105mm cannon mounted on a height adjustable unmanned turret for firing over cover and achieving literally retarded degrees of gun depression.

Due to weapon mounting it has a lack of ammunition storage, thus uses telescoped ammunition to save space. A ready rack on the back of the gun has 12 shells with an extra ammo pack of 12 in a box on the back of the hull.

Reloading would either necessitate a retreat to cover so both crew members can manually move ammo from the rear hull box to the autoloader's ready rack.
Or the weapon could be aimed up at 45 degrees to align the ready rack with the rear hull box to mechanically reload all 12 rounds in a few seconds without exposing the crew.

Shell types are largely low velocity to reduce recoil, mostly using HEAT or HE. Potential option of a sub caliber AP round. Turret left side has mounting points for an optional ATGM launcher.

Crew of two, with driver in the front. Gunner seated directly behind the driver, accessed by a hatch on the left side.

Also fitted with heavy duty off-road wheels using interlocking rubberized plates and a dense airless mesh core. Capable of absorbing 50 cal anti-tank rounds and some low caliber AP shells.

Minimal levels of armor but most of the hull's interior is engine for an extreme power to weight ratio for hit and run operations.
