Development History
In early ████, ████, Dominion Ground Forces published a set of requirements and requests for proposal (RFP) for a variety of armoured vehicles to international arms markets.

Società di Armature Leggere (SAL) created the preliminary hull design of the CA15 in mid-█████, contacting the renowned arms firm Ateliers de construction et Munitions Unies (AMU) for assistance in creating the turret. AMU created a turret modified from an existing design. An undisclosed number was sent to █████ for trials.

By mid-late █████, the CA15 was put in service following a number of changes to the design.
In early ████, ████, a directive from Dominion Ground Forces published new requirements for light vehicles; necessitating a change in armament for the CA15.

SAL and AMU subsequently installed a new 127mm mid-pressure gun, simplified the drivetrain components to ease production, and made quality-of-life improvements for the crew, like increased stowage space and improved driver's hatch.
Following a further change in Dominion Ground Forces' requirements, the standard 105mm gun replaced the main gun.

Notes on Operation
  • The vehicle will drift/slide excessively. The tires have very low side friction to keep the vehicle from tipping during high-speed turns.
  • In the event that the gunner is unable to continue fighting, the commander's override controls can be utilised to continue control of the weapons.
    -Turret cannon & coax is on weapon group 1.
    -Autocannon is on group 2.
    -Commander & Loader roof-mounted MGs are on group 3.
  • The rear infantry compartment may be cramped at full capacity (6 dismounts.)
  • Please take care of your crew.
yee haw, the WWN folks are pretty cool

I love well made small vehicles. It is so hard to scale properly so this is a real achievement

It's always good to see the things people from the WWN group make (I'm nowhere near as good when it comes to adding details). As is so oft the case a truly impressive build in regards to aesthetics and immersion (you guys really do love your factions and lore). Well done and an upvote well earned. Nice car!^^
