Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Griffin MPF Light Tank

"Tank and turret!"

-Griffin MPF

The Griffin MPF is the primary light tank of the Federation of Aquila designed to replace the aging M551 Sheridan as a derivative of ASCOD family of AFVs. Planned to be voiced by *TBA*

Overview
This vehicle’s name stands for Mobile Protected Firepower, which is a Aquilan program to replace the aging Sheridan and tandem with Task Force Eagle's Acolytes. Aquilan Airborne forces clearly need a highly mobile fire support platform, which effectively calls for a new tank to replaces the aging Sheridan.

Two companies answered the call – BAE Land Systems with its prototype based on the old M8 Thunderbolt II Light Tank, and General Dynamics with a Light Tank based on the Griffin demonstrator. The Gaiaterra MPF Light Tank version represents the latter. General Dynamics unveiled a single prototype in 2019 and the tank is currently undergoing trials. Despite some rumors, neither its hull nor its turret is based on the Abrams, although the prototype’s internal turret layout is similar to that of the first Crusader, making it easier to train crews. The technology used in its design is fairly conventional with the primary armament being a 105mm low recoil gun.

Trivia

 * While the design resembles the one from the Real World, the turret is taken from the crusader from Generals.
