| It has a good FCS. It is also much cheaper to produce than a regular tank. The 76mm gun will punch through most types of armour available today. The key to the Rooikat's power is in it's speed. It is a fast bugger and will outrun the turret speed on most tanks out there.
If I (still) lived in a place like Africa or Iraq, I would seriously consider this over a conventional tank, purely because chances are that my enemies don't have anything better than T55's and that I can outmanuever pretty much anything they have. Install a bigger gun if you like, and take on pretty much any tank, since you will be able to field many more of them than you can tanks.
