The Foxbat WiGE owes its existence to the 100 XLE and the associated light vehicle engine standardization. With a VTOL, tread, wheeled, and hover vehicle currently using the same powerplant, thoughts were made about applying the engine to a WiGE vehicle.
The result was a light, fast and hard-to-hit LRM carrier. Stealth armor and a maximum speed of 42 meters per second makes the Foxbat nearly impossible to hit at long range. With such a fragile motive system, it needs to be.
The platform is experimental, and extremely expensive, with one unit costing as much as an earlier model Charger MBT. Potential roles are being researched for this new design.

Enemy interceptor would be a good role for it. Rapid response. Fast strike.
The use of streak lrms does limit munition types that can be used. I would think a variant would have standard launchers. Maybe a tag for one to get in close to call any homing munitions onto a target.
Now knowing the stats on ap gauss ammo, I am assuming it is a full ton. If more, the main thing might be drop some.

The AP Gauss is better choice then a MG for this one.

Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything.
