Recognition notes
The Thumper Artillery Vehicle (Angel) is a 60-ton wheeled combat vehicle built as a missile boat, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed of 65. It keeps the Thumper firing from the front but drops the four machine guns of the base model's front and rear mounts, fitting an SRM 2 and a machine gun on the right side and a matching SRM 2 and machine gun on the left side. The hull swaps the base model's ICE engine for a Fuel Cell plant and adds CASE and an Angel ECM suite in the hull, equipment the original carried in neither location. Armor remains standard plate. Brooks Incorporated builds the type at Irian.
