Recognition notes
The Marksman Artillery Vehicle (Light PPC) is a 65-ton tracked combat vehicle built around indirect fire, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed near 65. The Sniper stays fixed to the front hull as on the base model, but the turret's Large Laser gives way to a Light PPC, and both hull and turret pick up paired Heavy Machine Guns that the original never carried. The switch from a Fusion to a Light engine frees the tonnage for the added machine guns without changing the vehicle's speed. The crew rides behind Ferro-Fibrous plate, with the turret still the design's identifying feature. GrummanCRI builds this variant at Melissia.
