Recognition notes
The Thumper Artillery Vehicle TAV-1 is a 60-ton wheeled combat vehicle fought as a missile boat, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed of 65. It carries the same Thumper and paired machine guns in the front and paired machine guns in the rear as the original, replacing that model's ICE engine with a fusion plant. Where the original mounted no turret, the TAV-1 adds one, carrying a pair of ER small lasers. The hull also gains CASE and a Guardian ECM suite. Brooks Incorporated builds it at Irian.
