Is this a practical design for an all-terrain combat vehicle?

>>33453870
The Nomad isn't a combat vehicle. It's an all terrain exploration rover with minimal defensive capabilities

>>33453870
The whole rear differential is exposed. I blow the shit out of that first

>>33453870
More wheels more problems.

Limited space and unnecessary cost to make it look fancy like that. The design seems too rounded overall and sharp in some areas for its intended purpose. It's not designed to go 150mph so why does it go so out of its way to be that aerodynamic? It's not intended to impress chicks so why does it have all those designs? Cut the cost of making the body look good and use it to add armor and horsepower.

Well, it IS a truck. Or personal carrier, whatever.
>Not enough ground clearance
Regulated suspension.
>Wheels too big, will eat hub bearings like fat kids on cake
>Two too many wheels, because fuck the maintenance guys lives anyway
That`s an exoplanetary vehicle, mobility comes first. Loose 2 wheels, continue running.
>No mine protection underneath
>Shithouse visibility- either go full tank or open it up
That`s a TRUCK for fucks sake, it isn`t a combat vehicle.
>No winch gear
I can agree on this. However, remembering Mako, and the fact, that this truck can reduce its own weight to almost nothing - winch could be somewhat redundant.
>Hope they don't shoot you in the arse where there's no armour
There is no armor to speak of on the front too.
>Not enough room
Well, that surely is a disadvantage.
>No fucking guns hanging off it
Guns are carried by dumb fucks, riding inside the truck.
Still, Mako is a better choise in my opinion.

Except if it's the front two, genius.

The OP reckons its a "all-terrain combat vehicle"
Its not
Now git

Big tires mean nothing without ground clearance

>>33458090
Big tires make ground clearance, retard.

wheeled combat/exploration vehicles are dumb in an age where you have flying craft that can VTOL, propel self into orbit, and atmospheric reentry by them selves.

>>33458638
Um, no

>>33459590
A 33 inch tire will give more ground clearance than a 30 inch tire.

>>33460051
It will give you 16.5 inches of clearance. Then take 5-8 inches off for the differential and another 2 for any skid plates. So, 6 inches?

What about this?

>>33458673
this

>to get to the top of this open-topped tower solve this jumping puzzle
can't we just call a dropship, guys? ....guys? For fucks sake....

>>33460213
Depends on the vehicle. bottom line a suspension lift isn't getting your diff any more off the ground.

>Think the mass effect vehicle is bad
you are like little baby

>>33454134
Pretty sure the Mako had jetpack booster things and it could hover around too.

>>33460388
That's why you use portal axles

>>33460433
>Las gun on the exhaust ports

It all makes sense.

>>33453870
Not built around a GAU8
Braaaaap motherfucker

>>33460573
las gun cells recharge from nearly any heat source, you can even thrown them in a fire though that fucks their life. Exhaust is hot, pew pewing as long as you are vroom vrooming.

How bout this OP?

It seems like a pretty futuristic design, but it fulfills all the qualities you could realistically need. It even comes with different variants, some can carry cargo, troops, or like pic related it can be a weapon platform

>>33460408
Halo vehicles are shit, only the dropship is decent, and only because it looks like an aliens dropship that's put on some weight
