G42 Tank Destroyer

The G42 from Phantom and Phalanx is an Armored Combat Vehicle commissioned for use by USIC 's Marine Corps in 3020 as an Infantry Support Vehicle/Tank Destroyer.

The G42 has the nickname of 'Dart' because of it's high speed for an Infantry Support Vehicle

The vehicle itself does not include many electronic systems because Phantom and Phalanx wanted to make a vehicle that could function at near optimal capacity even in heavy electronic interference. The G42 does not have a built in radio set, instead the crew have self contained radio sets.

The vehicle that replaced the G42, the G55 had a lot of electronic countermesures that allow it to have the same low-profile signature as the G42 while being more automated.
