VME Bjarndyr - Armoured Fighting Vehicle

The G.MS-4301 “Bjarndýr” AFV is a wheeled armored fighting vehicle by Valkyrja - Maintenance & Engineering.

This new vehicle platform has been designed to fulfill a large variety of services in mechanized forces and combined arms, ranging from troop-transport, to self-propelling artillery or serving as a Tank-Destroyer.

The ATV-variant is designed for easy deployment allowing rapid movement on narrow roads and in built-up areas in response to various contingencies. Despite its small size and light armor, it can successfully attack much larger armored fighting vehicles as well as personnel, using its large caliber gun.

With simplicity in mind, the Bjarndýr runs entirely on batteries, featuring no other means of fuel production. Therefore, it is recommended to deploy this vehicle only when a sufficiently equipped homebase can be provided.

The Bjarndýr-chassis was designed as an APC, offering space for 2 crew and 5 passengers plus personal gear. This can be extended to 6 by removing the included weapon-racks, for a total of 8 seats.




This vehicle is quite different from what I usually do. The Bjarndýr rows back both on design and features, coming without a fancy paint job, excessive greeble, and has no tow hitch, mission equipment or autonomous power supply. The only goal here was to create a rover that could carry a bunch of people and make it somewhat-pretty doing so. Even the turret is only there because I wanted to give it at least something special. But it is entirely possible - recommended even - to just swap it for a regular turret in survival. That would even allow you to make it airtight.

The Bjarndýr is a pretty shoebox. I will probably explore more potential variants for it, as I like how the design turned out. But I recommend you spend some time and reverse-engineer it, to make it your own, if you intend to use it in survival.
The math is simple: Remove seats to make room for more features. Good luck, engineer o7.
