It was designed to provide the mechanized infantry with some integral artillery support that would be just as mobile as the infantrymen themselves. Although lightly armored, it was a success due to its low cost and high mobility. Options: None. M16 MGMC Type: Halftrack Maximum Vertical: 0.3 meters Availability: Jan 44 – May 45 Top Speed: 72 KPH (45 off-road) Playability: AI only Redline: 2800 RPM (2300 average) Main Armament: Four HMG Armor: Depression/Elevation: -5°/+85° Hull Front: 12mm Secondary Armament: None Hull Sides: 7mm Ammunition: 8000 (HMG) Hull Rear: 7mm Smoke: None Hull Top: 7mm Radio: Yes Superstructure Front: 12mm Target Size: Small Superstructure Sides: 7mm Height: 2.35 meters Superstructure Rear: 7mm Weight: 9.8 tons Superstructure Top: Open Ground Pressure: 1.0 kg/cm 2 Mantlet: None Maximum Slope: 27° <strong>The</strong> M16 MGMC carried a specially designed mount, called the Mxson Mount, which held four .50 M2HB machineguns, instead of an infantry squad. Many versions were made to be mounted on trucks or trailers, however, the most popular model was the one which used the M3A1 halftrack as its basis. <strong>The</strong> entire mount could traverse in six seconds, and the guns could elevate 60° in one second. Due to its mobility, this vehicle could provide short-ranged antiaircraft defense to convoys as well as advancing motorized troops. Options: None.
