Tractor power
This is militarised version of good, old, tractor, used somewhere in Bosnia.
Tremble, puny humans, before the ultimate war engine!!! 
And here's another: Pakistani made Cheetah militarised tractor:
Its armed with 14,5 mm KPV.

Re: Tractor power
Why make things complicated? Remember the Toyota Wars in 1987?
92 T-55 MBTs and 33 BMP-1 AFVs were destroyed, 13 T-55s and 18 BMP-1s were captured and 81 Libyans were taken POW. All of this in exchange for 18 dead Chadian troops and three destroyed Toyota trucks!

Re: Tractor power
Wow, I should definitely build me such a one for night downtown drives!!  
Heard about the Pakistani one, AFAIK it was meant for training and maybe opfor duty, but it saw action nevertheless in some Cashmeri skirmishes. As to in what role??
Do you mean these things should be modelled in the game? After all I don't see why not, I just can't figure out how to draw it!  |

Bah, just look at the Swedish Obat 66, unit 131 "Bicycle Section" and unit 547 is the tractor used for towing entire bike-borne platoons behind it. How does that rank on the silly scale? 
But armoured tractor should probably allready be in the game somewhere.

Re: Tractor power
Should be, could be without problem so long as you don't mind it looking like a casula tractor... Same as with the armored trucks really. 
Got another silly one, think it is in the game oob, that's an Algerian war-era French para RLR scooter! Yes, a vintage Vespa scooter, with a US 90mm recoilless rifle sitting on the re |

Re: Tractor power
Look at early German forces. I think there should be some unit in '48 that resembles an armoured tractor.
