Title: A miitia truck
Post by: Ice Hellion on August 07, 2016, 02:39:03 PM
I made a Support Vehicle to design both the transport mule and its rocket launcher cousin (like the Katyusha and other trucks/MLR).
I hope I did get it right and if so, I will have to find a name for it.

Typical technical looks good

I'd be tempted to slow it to 4/6 then you can devote more to cargo space especially the mule variant

As for name how about the Donkey?  Them the mule variant could have a colourful nickname

I tried to stay close to some real military cargo and MLR trucks, hence the speed but this is an idea.

And for the name  ;D
