-A heavily modified version of the Origin Industries weapon, the Portable Mini-Missile Launcher Platform has been made to have ammunition commonality with Star Army [[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2908_offensive_augmentation_pods|OAP]] launchers used with the Mindy and Daisy. This ensures ammunition commonality, and logistical simplicity. In addition to these changes, the case is lined with [[material:yarvex]] to help contain the explosion in the case of ammunition cook-off - the explosion will be vented out from the front and back should the missiles prematurely detonate.+A heavily modified version of the Origin Industries weapon, the Portable Mini-Missile Launcher Platform has been made to have ammunition commonality with Star Army [[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2908_offensive_augmentation_pods|OAP]] launchers used with the Mindy and Daisy.

-As with its predecessor, the Type 35 makes use of the standardized [[:stararmy:type_35_medium_vehicle_hull|Medium Vehicle Hull]]. This consists of interlocking pieces of [[material:adnr|ADNR]] encased within and reinforced with [[material:durandium]] to both save weight, and provide ample structural integrity. The armor plate of the vehicle itself however, is modified in its composition. Though still [[:material:yama_dura]] in construction, it is thicker than those used on the other variants such as the original General Purpose Carrier. As a result of this heavier armoring, the vehicle itself is slower to move and accelerate in return for added protection. Despite this, the armor plates have the same cosmetic appearance as the standard sets, and may even be interchanged if needed, adding to the vehicle's flexibility.+As with its predecessor, the Type 35 makes use of the standardized [[:stararmy:type_35_medium_vehicle_hull|Medium Vehicle Hull]].

 As a direct result of this, it is far more combat orientated than the vehicle it is based off of. Though its top speed is lower than the ground transports it typically escorts, the vehicles do not commonly cruise at top speed, rendering this performance gap a non-issue. During general usage as escorts, they are typically assigned to the front and rear of convoys with a few in between to protect the more vulnerable haulers - when contact is made, the transports flee to safety while the Armored Combat Vehicles act as a screening force to protect their rear, or overwhelm and destroy the enemy with their superior firepower and disembarking troops. As Power Armors are faster and more mobile however, the Musha is not as useful during rapid, fast paced maneuver warfare. As a direct result of this, it is far more combat orientated than the vehicle it is based off of.

-Instead, the vehicle shines in extended ground campaigns where entrenched enemies must be rooted out. In these types of conflicts, the advantages of riding inside of and on the Musha become clear. It is typically used as a transport, bringing troops to the front-lines. Though this role is similar to its lighter and less heavily armed variant, the [[:stararmy:type_35_general_purpose_carrier_jinsoku_ro|Jinsoku Ro]], the Jinsoku Musha has more adequate armor, keeping them protected from ambushes. Besides serving as a mobile supply point to resupply powered infantry's ammunition hungry weapons such as the [[stararmy:weapons:ke-m2-w2905_shoulder-fired_50mm_gauss_cannon|50mm Shoulder Gauss Cannon]] and mini-missile launchers, the Armored Combat Vehicle takes a more active role in combat. In general use alongside powered infantry, it hangs back, remaining within line of sight of the Power Armor it accompanies and providing supporting fire with its heavier set of autocannons and mini-missile launchers.+Instead, the vehicle shines in extended ground campaigns where entrenched enemies must be rooted out.
