DESCRIPTION

The M7D1 "Rat" is a medium defensive ATGM Carrier deployed within the Newquay Armed Forces as a replacement for the aging HTMA-5 "Rattlesnake". The "Rat", as affectionately named by its operators due to its tendency of scurrying away after firing, is capable of carrying 10 BGM-8 2km ranged radar guided anti-tank missiles, allowing for automatic targeting of vehicles without requiring a constant line of sight. Similar to it’s larger cousin the Helios, the Rat is able to conceal itself within a forest environment, taking advantage of the flora to remain unseen towards an enemy. While also providing target designation through its unique JTAC designator boom, allowing other NQ Armed Forces vehicles to act upon a threat accordingly.

PLEASE NOTE:
– The M7D1 may sometimes have a loading failure, this is usually a rare occasion with the loader being capable of working in low physics + MP. However, if it does: Switch to the CROWS and back to the loader multiple times, usually this will force a load to take place.
