Hmm, how about the SEV2 vs the Pallas Spaceworks MI-88 Lightfoot?

I do like the Lightfoot. Wish I'd made one myself...

Thanks!  I really like your SEV2 also... I've been thinking about doing a tank
design, but have not yet been pleased with the concepts I've come up with.

Just from appearances, it seems like yours could beat mine in a bouldered and
forested terrain, but on clearer surfaces I think the SEV2 would win because
it's more manueverable.

True... but the SEV2 is armored Cav... the lightfoot is mechanized infantry.
generally, a single grunt ain't going to go up against a tank without his buddies
:)

Plus (and this is of course very debatable), it looks like the SEV2 outguns
the MI-88.

Absolutely!  see the above :)  The MI-88B was made to be light, cheap, and *mass
producable*  The sucker is made for swarm tactics :)  Put your tank against a
5-man squad of Lightfoots and it'd be more of a match.

Got a MI-99 Heavyfoot? :)

No, but I could drop a Mustang out there... that might be more of a match... or
the upcoming "Hissha" Mechanized Heavy Support Armor :)

Come check out (and download the .dat file) of the new hovertank at my site. It's the latest from Peregrin-Westar Intergalactic. -Tom McD. (URL) (26 years ago, 25-Jan-99, to lugnet.build, lugnet.cad)
