Able Motorized Systems started out as a Civilian Tractor manufacturer sometime in the late 2500s. Their market presence was small with few interstellar exports but this was still enough to draw the attention of the House Lords and their armies during the Succession Wars.

The factory was attacked, rebuilt, and attacked again in vicious cycles. Fortunately Civilian Tractor parts and the machinery to produce them began to fall in priority for raiding forces and the factory was able to recover for the most part.

With the discovery of the Helm Core grants and government aide was poored into the factory to make it fully capable of producing combat vehicles. Part of this were recovered blueprints dated 2801 for Motorized Project 4. It was clearly meant to be a competitor to the Scorpion and Vedette.

Able Motorized Systems put this design into production as the M4 Amos.

A relatively straight forward design with modest armor, moderate mobility, and a reasonably powerful main gun the Amos had everything it needed to be hugely successful except for one thing, a marketing department that could compete with Quickcell.

It was decided that the best way to get word out about the new vehicle was to establish a new mercenary unit and equip them with the vehicle as their center piece.

The early reports were promising and enough orders came in to expand the lines with recovered tech and other advanced and experimental equipment.

The mercenary unit raised was known as the 4th Panzer Grenadiers and were given brand new M4A1 variants to face the Clans in early 3050 but they instead mutinied and this public relations disaster was painful to endure for Able Motorized Systems but fortunately enough orders still came in to keep the line going and further develop new variants.

Nice... love the Thumper Cannon versions... If they'd been 30 tons, they'd only need 2 crew, though. I imagine the tonnage just didn't work out...

monbvol · « **Reply #2 on:** 20 April 2020, 20:03:11 »

I could make it work but armor would be rather thin for the speed even at that mass.

Daryk · « **Reply #3 on:** 20 April 2020, 20:03:53 »

Right, so the tonnage didn't work out...

Missing the "Firefly" version, and the Calliope ...

monbvol · « **Reply #5 on:** 20 April 2020, 20:20:42 »

Well I suppose if I ditch the machine guns I could make a 30 ton version because then I'd only have to lose half a ton of armor...

I might have to come back to that train of thought.

Missing the "Firefly" version, and the Calliope ...

Not sure how I'd distinguish a Firefly with already using an AC-10 and LB-10X. Especially with how thin the mass margins already are.

Calliope I did nod towards a bit with the C3 versions but I suppose I could go harder in on turret mounted RL-10s to do it proper.

worktroll · « **Reply #6 on:** 20 April 2020, 20:21:24 »

Try UAC-10 for Firefly?

Retry · « **Reply #7 on:** 20 April 2020, 20:26:03 »

My vote is a LGR for a Firefly. Should be a fairly straightforward swap.

monbvol · « **Reply #8 on:** 20 April 2020, 20:31:30 »

Yeah I can make them work, just feels odd to go either way as AC-10 with AP ammo seems the most Firefly to me.

Still I think I am going to see about putting these all on diets and make them work and add a couple variants.

I'll probably restrain myself from making the full rounds though.

An RAC2 may be better? More tonnage for PBI defence or support guns

The only variants this thing is probably missing are:

We ran out of turrets and guns in factory but here's an APC ^-^

And can you put down a bridge with this?

Or oh look mines

Great work I like the little tank

I will admit XTRO 1945 did inspire me to make a bunch of modernized fully playable in TW combat vehicle tanks.

Also yeah I think I am going to split the series into two branches. The 30 ton versions that does sacrifice some versatility and durability for better logistics and the original 35 ton version branch that is a little more versatile at the expense of increased logistics.

If you're trying to compete with Quickcell, you have to think cheap... ^-^

Okay the introdates are all over the place and thus a bit of a mess but that's part me just having to put MegaMekLab in it's place so I can put the gear I want on there and part me wanting to back date certain models enough that I can have some variety with a helping of me just getting sloppy with what file I was working from.

The M4 line will be the 35 ton line going forward. I think I'm still missing a variant or two but I should have all the important ones and there is a certain amount of the 30 ton version covering some of those bases as well.

The 30 ton line I have dubbed the L4.

So to re-do the last of the M4 line to the new standard:

[Author] Pretty sure I have them all but order is probably all over the place and I make no promises about pasting the same variant more than once. :P I do know I have all the MML blk files in the attached zip so there. :P [/Author]

Responding to requests for a smaller, less manpower intensive version Able Motorized Systems put their engineers to work on making a new line.

The resulting Project Lightweight managed to cut the design down to 30 tons. There is a great deal of debate if too many sacrifices were made but enough customers have ordered these new lighter versions that it is likely to stay on the company books, even if only in small batch orders.

I'll take the heavier version as primary with various models to fill the Battalion but I'll take a platoon each of the special equipment variants of the lighter machine too

monbvol · « **Reply #16 on:** 22 April 2020, 00:55:13 »

Yeah it is a case of being 5 tons heavier doesn't add a lot of capability for those tasks.

I suppose an argument could be made for the sake of conversion from one variant to another and parts commonality.

Guess I know what I'm spending a bit of time on tomorrow. :D

Dragon Cat · « **Reply #17 on:** 22 April 2020, 00:57:24 »

I'd say the PBI defence on several of the heavier models is a negligible increase in firepower but a useful one

monbvol · « **Reply #18 on:** 22 April 2020, 01:49:51 »

I was meaning mostly for the engineering vehicles because if you're fighting off PBIs with those, well something really wrong probably has gone down.

Gotcha yup misread that one if they are in that position they should surrender

Daryk · « **Reply #20 on:** 22 April 2020, 03:19:08 »

Code tags would make them much easier to parse...

monbvol · « **Reply #21 on:** 22 April 2020, 14:18:55 »

For me code versus preformated tags have always been a catch 22.

Code does break things up a bit better but because I have to scroll inside the code tags themselves I do feel like I am taking more time and effort to look through a design than i should have to and I do have scroll back and forth more than the pre tags.

Pre does make bulk posting like I have a bit harder to parse through but again because I can just scroll it does make it easier for me to look through a design.

Retry · « **Reply #22 on:** 22 April 2020, 14:21:56 »

I would've gone code. There's simply an insane number of alphabet soup variants and subvariants flying around, I can't keep track of which particular version y'all are talking about.

Dragon Cat · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 April 2020, 14:39:50 »

I don't mind it as it's been posted over code I find it easier to look at on eyes. I can just never get my posts to sit like that

Daryk · « **Reply #24 on:** 22 April 2020, 21:55:49 »

I design per set of code tags means we can deep dive into the ones we want, and more quickly scroll past the others.

monbvol · « **Reply #25 on:** 22 April 2020, 22:45:18 »

That's why I tend to normally limit how many designs I put in each post.

That way best of both worlds.

Still I wound up getting distracted by other projects and never got around to making those 35 ton engineering variants.

acksed · « **Reply #26 on:** 25 April 2020, 22:42:09 »

My key wish for all these is heavier armour. Carrying less protection than a Scorpion is no bueno.

monbvol · « **Reply #27 on:** 25 April 2020, 23:36:09 »

Well I can think of one way to do it for a couple variants but not all.
