Suggestions Silverhand infantry carrier: "Valiant"
Silverhand Valiant - MK-IV-Re
Infantry carrier variant.
40mm has been replaced with a slightly buffed version of the predator grenade launcher.
68mm has been replaced with a tripod weapon slot. The user of the tripod weapon is firmly inside the tank and cannot be shot out or killed outside of being gassed out like is usual for enclosed vehicle seats.
Has slots for 4 (6?) infantry to sit on.
Turn the Silverhand into more of a support vehicle and gives wardens infantry carrier gameplay similar to scorpion.
A balance concern here is that the Silverhand chassis is way better than the Scorpion chassis in just about every way, so it might be too good of a way to get infantry around. But perhaps a reasonable armor and health nerf would be enough to balance it out. It would even make sense from a lore perspective because it's a retrofitted Silverhand that has been scaled down to fit a support role.
Thing that would be cool but can't fit in the game.
Original idea was that it's like an APC and you have the infantry stored inside the silverhand, and then you open a back hatch door to let them all out. But there isn't any space in the model for that, would probably be buggy as fuck, and also makes no sense because people would get out where the engine should be.
