I like designing things, and I came up with a vehicle design that I thought I'd post the basics of here to see if I was getting the basic design principles right.
Weight: ~17 tons, ready to airdrop with crew (3) inside, packed pretty tightly because they won't be moving around inside
Armor: Protected from 30mm APFSDS at 500m, but frontal armor no thicker. (I came up with a nifty layered composite armor design just for this.)
Armament:
autoloading 120mm smoothbore medium velocity assault gun/mortar/missile launcher firing:
programmable fuse HE semi penetrating
120mm mortar rounds
HEDP and hypervelocity laser-guided missiles
small UAV with sensors and a laser designator + launcher
an unmanned small turret with
smoothbore APFSDS firing 30mm chaingun
40mm AGL
Are there difficulties I'm not accounting for in making one gun in an assault gun configuration act in a direct fire, mortar, and missile launcher role? Avoidable problematic weaknesses?
