Features

 * Recon Package: This vehicle's set of advanced optics provides an improved vision range when stationary.
 * PELE Rounds: This vehicle can fire special Penetrator with Lateral Effect rounds. These can penetrate thick armor and deal extra damage to the crew and internal components.
 * Active Camo: If the vehicle is not moving, it receives the same bonus to its camouflage, as if it was concealed behind a bush.

Pros

 * Targeted-homing ATGMs hit vehicles behind cover, from above in their thin top-armor.
 * PELE rounds from stock
 * Decent camo when upgraded with ADAPTIV Active Camo.
 * Large Troop Compartment

Cons

 * Large target
 * A bit slow
 * No ammo upgrades
 * Low missile damage, and long flight time

Upgrade Suggestions
Start with ADAPTIV Active Camo, and smoke grenades for some extra defence. The missile-related upgrades can be left until last, since the missiles are secondary armament only. The hard-kill APS is the most XP-expensive upgrade, so take both spotting upgrades first, for the same XP cost.

Commander and crew skill suggestions

 * Commander: Sabrina Washington, or similar: for improvements to camo rating, view range, and accuracy
 * Driver: Smooth Ride, Off-Road Driving
 * Gunner: Quick Draw, Sharpshooter
