No speed to outrun heavier opponents, and no armour to take the resulting damage...
But it could work as a patroller I guess. How does it look with a LAC/5 instead? Maybe use the extra space for a SRM2-pack?
Evolve or DIE!

I was going for cheap and limited use, more of the stuff one would find on a world that really only rates militia units or a over armed police force.
The LCAV would be fast enough in an urban enviorment where it could move from position to position etc...
A LAC5 and SRM would up the cost more then readily aviable AC5 and MG....

Would the min range on the AC-5 hurt it in an urban environmant where a lot of the fighting is done close to or at point blank range?
It looks very close to a wheeled version of the scorpion tank. Nothing wrong with that, cheap reliable and effeciant.
Maybe trade the AC-5 for an SRM-6, add a little more armor and enough room for an Infantry platoon for a more effective urban enviornment? Hurts your range, but you don't need much in a city.
Just my thoughts

Smart tactical player will know his weapons and know when to fall back as well.
A SRM variant has possibilities and I will add it in as a variant.
