MAVs
MAVs are a new class of vehicle that features medium sized turrets that is equally effective against both infantry and vehciles but has lower damage output versus the specifically tailored turrets. The main strengh of the MAV though is not its firepower but utility. The large number of equipment slots the MAVs have allows it to perform a multitude of duties from remote repair, mobile sensors, mine laying and mine sweeping and even a reaver module that clears all hostile equipment in the area over time. They're tough slow but dependable.
MTACs
Early attempts at making drop suits for immortal soldiers sought to adapt MTACs for full military use. Due to number of complications in weapons and defense systems ultimately delayed the project well past the militarized soft suits that moved forward. After months of interaction and reiterating the first militarized MTACs are being fielded as a vehicular infantry unit.
Unlike traditional vehicles the MTAC mobilities is akin to that of a soldier allowing it to take cover, strafe opponents, and even jump over obstacles that other vehicles cannot do. The MTAC itself solved most of its power issues using infantry modules and mounted infantry weapons instead. Each mounting can hold the following, Twinned Heavy weapons or Quad Light/side arm weapons, each weapon mounted has an optimized firing configuration allowing optimal damage output with minimal gaps in offense. The base health of the MTAC itself can make it capable of surviving HAV attacks for a short duration allowing the operator to move the chassis out of harms way and formulate a plan on taking the threat out. However the use of infantry modules and lower power requirements has made the mtac vulnerable to all manners of infantry weapons as well and combined with cumbersome movement and large size makes it an easy target for even anti-vehicle weapons such as the AV grenades and explosives. MTACs are best used as squad support vehicles in urbanized environments.
