Description

An M18 Saddleback, callsign 'Brahmin-4,' belonging to the 311th Infantry Division of the UNSC Army, based out of Sardinia, Earth. This particular Saddleback is painted in the Mimetico Vegetata camouflage pattern to better help blend in with the Mediterranean and European theater the division operates in, though the camouflage pattern is used on a number of worlds like New Carthage and Minister. The 311th would participate in the European Campaign, clearing out Covenant forces in Southern France and Northern Italy, and then on the British Isles during the Battle of Earth in 2552. The variants shown are, from primary variant to the trio from top to bottom, the baseline w/ machine gun, engineer/minesweeper vehicle, armored personnel carrier, and baseline w/o machine gun.

Well we have a mrap now so that nice, all that we need now is a good old mlrs since we don't need need like 3 different artillery pieces, the m400 kodiak work just fine as the standard issue artillery for the unsc and other organization, I don't know much about m145 rhino since we only know its variant but like I said the m400 kodiak work just fine as our standard issue artillery.
