General

The MAN SX45 is an 8x8 heavy utility truck intended as a successor to the MAN KAT 1 series of vehicles in German service. Capable of handling palletized loads from 14 to 16 tonnes, along with a variety of specialized modules, the SX series are designed to keep pace with mechanized units regardless of terrain. As currently modeled, the vehicle is equipped an integrated armored cab providing protection against 7.62x51mm AP rounds, artillery shell splinters, and medium anti-tank mine blast. Additionally, this vehicle may be equipped with either the Lemur, or Kongsberg Protector remote weapons' stations.

In the simulation this vehicle provides resupply services for fuel or ammunition to the armed vehicles and missile/HMG teams represented in Steel Beasts Professional. The vehicle may be made available to both Blue and Red forces. The MAN SX45 vehicle will only resupply units of its own side. Thus a Blue SX45 truck cannot be used by a Red armed vehicle or infantry unit.

Resupply of fuel or ammunition can be accomplished by moving the unit which requires resupply close to the vehicle and then waiting. Resupply will automatically commence within a couple of minutes. Note that full resupply may take some time.

The mission designer can specify if the vehicle should transport ammo or fuel.
