Jagdpanzer AOPV

Notes: This is an artillery observation post vehicle converted from the chassis of the Jagdpanzer Kanone with the 90mm gun. The result is a vehicle similar to the Leopard 1 AOPV, with an elevating pod containing sensors and a laser designator. The 90mm gun and the coaxial machinegun are removed, and the opening plated over. Extra radios have been added, along with a computer for calculating fire solutions.

Twilight 2000 Notes: About 80 of these conversions had been completed before the Twilight War.

Leopard AOPV

Notes: This is an artillery observation post vehicle based upon the Leopard 1A5 tank. The turret has been heavily modified, mounting the sighting gear and a laser designator, and deleting the main gun. Extra radios have been added as well as a computer for computing fire solutions. Generally, at least 4 radios are carried, and the night vision is state of the art. There is a hatch on the center front deck for the driver, and hatches on the turret deck for the commander and other crew.

Twilight 2000 Notes: 333 of these conversions had been accomplished before the start of the war, to replace M-113 based observation vehicles. A common field modification was the mounting of a dummy cannon, as FIST vehicles are a higher priority target than the average tank.

Merc 2000 Notes: These conversions were never done.
