The GT-504 "Chetak" Light Combat Vehicle is a nimble, low-cost multi-role transport vehicle renowned across the system for it's simplicity, firepower and versatility. Capable of transporting 6 people from the lowest valleys to the highest mountains in any planetary environment (including 0G on the decks of aircraft carriers owing to its artificial mass system), and doing so well in excess of 90 m/s - the GT-504 has seen the most success of any Ikuyo Aerospace land vehicle. This version comes stock with a single 25mm Remote Operated Rotary Autocannon, high-altitude drop parachutes, a universal tow-hook/trailer adapter and the same patent-pending Ikuyo Aerospace gyro-stabilization system found on the smaller Matsukaze line of reconnaissance bikes (making the vehicle almost impossible to flip). The "Chetak" can be yours today too!

Armament
  • 1x 25mm Rotary Autocannon: 800m maximum firing range.

Features
  • All Environments: Capable of operating virtually anywhere owing to its 4x4 drive system and electric ducted fans - the GT-504 is rated for climbing slopes up to 70 degrees in 1G.
  • Cheap and Light: Designed foremost for rapid production, the GT-504 can be printed by virtually any small ship printer - including the ones aboard the FS-17 and at only 15 tons, is capable of being airlifted (or airdropped owing to its parachutes) anywhere in the battlefield.
  • Battery Powered: Most ground vehicles utilize nuclear power - the GT-504, like most Ikuyo Aerospace vehicles instead utilizes highly redundant and extremely cheap battery power - capable of over 10 hours of driving and utilizing connectors to recharge from any compatible dock.
  • Fast and Stable: Utilizing the same gyroscopic stabilization system found on the Matsukaze Reconaissance Bike, the GT-504 demonstrates excellent highspeed handling characteristics (being virtually impossible to flip), and the system can be disabled at low-speeds for easy maneuvering in tight spaces.
  • Versatile Design: Capable of towing loads in excess of 100 tons using its universal tow-hitch, and sporting a large flat bed with an easily swappable turret, the GT-504 has seen as everything from an ambulance to an ATGM carrier.
  • Survival Ready: Fully plumbed and survival ready. Only two sub grids are present, one for the turret, and one solely consisting of the gun and its camera - both very easy to build in survival (although you really should just use the sub grid projector mod).

Datasheet
  • PCU: 2,236
  • Block Count: 208
  • Non-Armor Blocks: 111
  • Triangles: 185,857
  • Grid Mass: 16,021kg
  • Lifting Capacity: 3080 rounds (22 boxes) of Gatling Gun Ammo.

Scripts
No scripts are included by default but one free programmable block has been included for end-user script inclusion. The gyroscopic stabilization system is script-free and serves and is enabled by action 5 in the first row of the driver hotkeys.

DLCs and Redistribution
This ship is vanilla and only uses the Heavy Industry, Automatons, Warfare II and Wasteland blocks. None are critical to function.

Notes
Everyone loves the Warthog. I do too. There's also already plenty of Warthogs on the workshop but all of them were lacking something I wanted (repair projectors, remote control capability, ore detectors, using nuclear power etc), and most were not the driving experience I wanted. So I decided to create a simple multi-role jeep very much in the style of the warthog to be my survival rover workhorse. I'm pretty happy with the result, and especially happy with how stable and easy to drive it is.

Special Credits
The trailer used in the screenshot is a slight modification of the fantastic MFT-60 Flatbed Trailer by Smokki. Please check it out!

Suggestions
I'm always open to suggestions or ideas so please let me know if you have any! This is designed to be a truly multi-role vehicle so as always, please feel free to post any modifications or remixes you make - no attribution required.
