[Affinity] PGV 06 'Erab' IFV

PGV 06 "Erab" is a standard Rotharnian tracked infantry fighting vehicle. The "PGV" series of armored vehicles has a long lineage and has been built in plentiful numbers and in many variants. The PGV-06 variant is armed with a 54mm automatic cannon, a 8mm coaxial machine gun mounted to the right side of the main gun and an anti-tank guided missile mounted to the left side of the gun. Its armor protects mainly against personal weapons, machineguns and shrapnels, however, several variants of enhanced armor packages are available, increasing protection against ATGMs and larger-caliber weapons at the expense of mobility. The Erab can carry 8 fully-equipped soldiers and is also amphibious to a degree, being able to ford rivers and navigate in shallow waters near a shoreline.

It is a jack of all trades - master of none type of a machine, not being particularly great in any way, but it gets the job done. The simplicity, reliability and ease of modification mean that although its age is starting to show, it will likely have its place on the battlefield for decades to come.
