Lynx class grav armoured mortar carrier
The United Worlds Commonwealth
Back to the Vehicles contents

The Lynx class grav armoured mortar carrier is a variation on the TL9 standard Fox class personnel carrier.

The Lynx retains the Fox's base armament consisting of a 35mm 7 barrel auto cannon and two medium machine guns, all stabilised and has added a 120mm L16 mortar mounted in the main compartment with an opening roof. The mortar is also stabilised allowing the weapon to be fired on the move. The vehicle also boasts a TL9 Indirect Fire Sight allowing the mortar while vehicle mounted to be linked through a fire direction centre. The mortar can be dismounted but then must rely on a simple integrated sight.
