The M8 MGM-166 was one of the prototype tank destroyers, developed by Lockheed to carry the MGM-166 hypersonic kinetic energy missiles. The idea behind these missiles was that instead of a normal HEAT warhead, they'd simply fly very fast (at hypersonic speeds) and destroy their targets by using their kinetic energy. Their extremely high flight velocities made them incredibly deadly, literally ripping tanks apart upon impact. In addition to that, these missiles would be practically immune to ERA or hard-kill APS. On the downside, kinetic missiles do have minimum range of 300 to 500 meters, making them useless in close combat.

After Lockheed took over the LOSAT development after Vought, the concept of kinetic missiles continued being developed, but the collapse of the Soviet Union and the cancellation of many a military program that followed relegated it to the role of a technology demonstrator. Several types of kinetic missiles were developed from the late 1980s to the early 2000s and multiple platforms for the project were considered. One of those platforms was the Armored Gun System, better known as the XM8 Light Tank. This platform was proposed by Lockheed sometime in the early 1990s before the 1997 cancellation of the AGS program.

Vehicle Traits

• Marksman: This vehicle can fire advanced ammunition from its accurate weapon, allowing it to destroy enemy armor at long distances.
• Missiles Only: This vehicle is only armed with anti-tank guided missiles or unguided rockets, making it only viable in mid-to-long-range combat, since both are often difficult to aim at short distances.
• Kinetic Missiles: This vehicle is armed with hypersonic missiles with a kinetic penetrator that can punch through practically any armor, especially at great distances.
