Description[edit]

The Wheeled Scout is more of a category of vehicle than a particular model of vehicle. The most common examples have three axles with six wheels. These vehicles tend to have good overland speed, are lightly armored, and as the name implies, are generally used for scouting and reconnaissance. They usually carry a driver and a gunner. The gunner operates the medium laser using a remote sighting and firing device. [4]

Weapons and Equipment[edit]

The Wheeled Scout mounts a single medium laser along with the required heat sinks and power amplifiers to fire it safely. It also has a half ton of cargo space for carrying supplies, additional crew (to perform rotations on long patrols), or different equipment. [5]

Variants[edit]

  • Wheeled Scout (Camera)
    This variant removes the cargo space to mount a Recon Camera. BV (2.0) = 291[6]
