gotta be honest, for what it brings to the table, I will just buy Hunters if I want an LRM 20 Platform, or Strikers if I want a multi role platform.  sure they lack the anti infantry defense, but they are smaller, faster, demand less crew, and are cheaper to boot.

Plus when I hear Tomahawk, I think of something fast but hard hitting.  an heavy support vehicle does not fill that perception.

just my opinions though.  keep hitting the design software.

  Thanks. Besides being cheap and easy to maintain, I was also going for endurance instead of more firepower. It should have enough ammunition and armor for roughly 2-3 battles, even on the modern battlefield with all those Gauss Rifles and such floating around :)
