supercharged and it gives 210 hp in stead of the LD-465 that gives 140 hp.

for the driver and crew necessary.

M9 ACE
The M9 Armoured Combat Earthmover (ACE) was designed to both breach and
construct obstacles such as berms while under fire. The M9 rolls out
of the factory unarmed, but in the field it is often fitted with a
pintle mount for a machine gun. These field-expedient weapons are
obviously only of value while the vehicle is stopped, as the M9 only
holds one crewman. The vehicle is amphibious, and comes equipped with
two quadruple smoke dischargers and a 32m winch.
