Design Notes - This is an update of this non-obsolete van:  
Van, Xhvy Ch., Hvy Sus., Super PP, driver, 6 PRR tires, VMG in turret, 2 linked RL front, FOJ back, 2 MD (R & L), all back weapons linked; Armor: F30 (ram), L20 R20 B25 T15 U15; Acc. 5, HC 3, 7200 lbs., $24,775 
You can tell this an old design because there's just way too much crap in the car. I just felt a need to fill up all that space!  And the ram-plate is the kicker.  Gadzooks.

A general note about my process of updating and improving vans: I'd prefer to go to IC engines to save weight than C/A frames.  I show what a C/A would look like in my second option. Definitely more armor, and 3 linked Vulcans may be worth it.  You can definitely upgrade to a HRTC once you go above div40, as well.
