The image with all the downward facing guns is the A2 not the M2. The M2 has two fixed Size 4 facing forward and mounted on top, a turret with two size 3 mounted rear facing and high and a turret with two size 3 mounted forward and low. I haven't seen an image that shows where the third turret...

They haven't said what they originally promissed wasn't going to still work. Though we won't know until the cargo boxes actually work and are in game. And the clamp might move along the rails, or be part of the box.

Original commercial for the Aurora shows the longer box as swappable onto the legionnaire. View: https://youtu.be/UvDs7RDKCag

According to the spec sheet, they also have 2 medium quantum fuel tanks. (Which should be only 2/3rds capacity of a large fuel tank.)

The Carrack is designed to land in areas where there has never been civilization. So rough field landing in no big deal. With the bottom and side turrets it should also be very good at clearing landing zones.

With the addition of point defense blades a Carrack that is just hauling cargo can get by with a crew of 2.

This!

But not compared to a Carrack, which the OP has.

IIRC all three will. I was comparing the M2 to a Carrack, which the OP also has.

The ability to carry a Tonk or Ballista, is the only real advantage an M2 has, especially if the range is short as implied. Given your response, I recommend sitting tight, especially if the CCU is in your hangar. Then the price won't go up when the M2 is released.

just a quick addition. The Carrack and 600i are also modular. The Carrack modules are likely to be as versatile as the Cat, and the the 600i less so.

If like the Origin styling, you might be better served with a 300i. I know you are asking about the 100 series, but it is a major upgrade for a little cash.

What do you want to do with the M2? Do you have a Tonk or Ballista? The advantage the 600i has over the Carrack is it is more soloable. Granted that is the only advantage it has, but for some it is a significant difference. The M2 has, roughly, the same cargo capacity as the Carrack, and...

Ground troops can have support from an Ursa, Hoplite, Valkyrie etc. Wild Weasel craft are specifically designed to deal with AAA. Such craft exist in Star Citizen. :)

We know the size, and it is bigger than a WWII Maus. We know that ground vehicles are much slower, and much less agile than an equivalent starship. There are many reasons real world tanks haven't, again, gotten to the size of the Maus, inability to build them isn't one of the reasons.

It is still too big and too slow to be a tank. Yes, you can't take and hold ground without ground forces, but that doesn't mean you need this as part of your MTOE.

Ground vehicles, maybe. The Tonk in particular? Not likely. It is too big. It is too slow. It can't be carried by the typical troop transport, or cargo transport.

I have two aUEC ships I would love to trade in for something else. :)

There is no Oxygen in space to rust your ship. :) And rust on a ship is an environmental hazard.
