Recognition notes
The Pike Support Vehicle (AC5) is a 60-ton tracked combat vehicle built for the sniper role, cruising at 32 km/h with a top speed near 54. Its turret trades the base model's three Autocannons/2 for a pair of Autocannon/5, a heavier though less numerous battery. The two SRM 2 launchers on the front carry over unchanged from the original. This variant is a field refit, assembled at various sites rather than at the manufacturers' dedicated factories.
