Gaust Light Battle Tank Model-51C

The Gaust Light Battle Tank Model-51C, more commonly known as the Invader, is a light (at least for the Machina) tank that serves purpose of line bolstering, escort and heavy recon. The layout consists of a turret, Gunner's hatch and two Sponson positions. Its aramment is variable, allowing it to pursue multiple functions. The vehicle has a unusually large crew but operates extremely effeciently. The driver and Commander are located at the front of the vehicle, with the commander having access to numerous caommand systems and his own digital periscope while the gunner sits under the turret and operates it remotely, using a camera linked to the main gun and a secondary camera with 360 view. A secondary gunner sits in the turret, operating the pintle mounted weapon and serves as mechanic for the gun. In the hull, on each side of the gunner, the sponson gunners remotely operate ither weapons via cameras and motion detectors.
