Six and a half tons of armor provided good protection for a medium tank. A front-mounted LB5-XAC with two tons of ammo allowed the Sandslash to land crippling blows against aircraft and other vehicles with ease using cluster munitions, or take on hardened targets with solid ammo. Two Streak-SRM-4's with one ton of ammo joined the autocannon in the front, allowing even more internal-exploiting capabilities. Finally, a Medium Laser was mounted in the turret for backup independent of ammunition. Notable Warriors "The Dauntless Few": Name given to one Lyran Sandslash commanded by one Donovan McGonnagol, the "Dauntless Few" ended an uprising near the edge of the Commonwealth by landing a crippling blow on a rebel Demolisher's motive systems using cluster munitions, bringing the spearhead of the rebellion to a grinding halt and allowing friendly light 'Mech and vehicle assets to dispatch the infantry accompanying the enemy tank. The crew received high praise from their superiors, and the garrison forces, as funds became available, slowly began phasing out many of their medium tanks in favor of the Sandslash.

- It's an interesting machine. My main criticism would be the cost, but the armor is a bit on the thin side, too. Ammunition storage is adequate, and the speed is pretty good, great for a vehicle though. It has a few too many short range weapons for my taste, considering you think of it as a skirmisher. I'd prefer a skirmisher to be 6/9 or better and armed either with stand off weapons (like the LBX 5) or hard hitting close in weapons (like SSRMs), but typically not both.
- A lack of Machine Guns could be a problem if infantry get you, but that's rather a negligible threat for a skirmisher. I like the Medium Laser myself, perhaps you might consider upgrading it to ER spec. Overall, bumping up the weight to 50 Tons might be helpful, maybe give you some more armor and potentially freeing up space for an ER Medium Laser instead. They weigh the same, but since this is a vehicle and it doesn't mount a Fusion Engine those two additional Heat Sinks are gonna cost you 2 tons.

If this has a turret it needs to have a weight listed. For 6.5 tons your armor should be 104 if using standard. Also your armor locations need to be readjusted because you only show 80 points being allocated.

Calculating for the Fuel cell at 2/3 of the weight of the ICE used at 17 tons the FC is 12 tons, its spot on but still comes up short for the missing armor, 80 points is 5 tons but reported 6.5 tons.
Guess-timate as I don't have a HeavyMetal with Fuel Cell option but if you drop the medium laser you can replace it with a machine gun and 1/2 ton ammo, move a single Streak 4 to accompany the MG to make use of the .5 ton turret weight, and should have at least 1.5 tons to add for armor.
As I built it, removing that single medium laser and no turret all weapons mounted front its exactly 45 tons. Price is half what is showing, so that fuel cell must be massively over priced compared to an ICE.

If you want to mimic the Fuel Cell in HMVee, use the Light Fusion engine similar weight saving.

Just curious on the heat sinks: 3 - 7.0 entry. Unless they changed heat sinks for fuel cells, this sounds very odd. A heat sink is 1 ton. This looks like the 3 it has weighs 7 tons. Typo or mistake in the program? Not sure if you had the game print out the data here or if you typed it out.
It would increase the cost of the tank, but Ferrous Fiber might help it survive a little more. Also, the use of wheels means it is very restricted in the terrain it can enter, so kind of limits how much of a skirmisher it can be. But then this is an issue with a lot of other vehicles, both canon and home made.
Not sure what you are looking for with replies. The fluff is decent. The tank itself seems ok, but it is kind of hard to make one that stands out anymore. I would suggest remaking the tank, and fixing the issues, then try to get some input. As it stands, the typos have it as an illegal design.
