Topic: How would you design a light tank?

There's lots of ideas and information about that discussed in that thread. I agree that a separate thread would be a good thing -- but have a look at what was already discussed. That's all I'm saying.

How I would design a light tank: Well, the Stryker is probably a good starting point to say how I'd do things differently. I'd make it shorter (front to back) first of all. I'd keep the 105mm main gun, but I'd want to add some options onto that turret -- I'd adapt a vehicular version of the Javelin to add on top of the turret and try and figure out a way to also add a Stinger. It needs lots of options IMHO.

The Scimetar is an interesting design.
