General

A larger version of the Mowag chassis used on the other LAV series vehicles, this PC is used by the Canadian, Danish, and Irish armed forces, and is the basis for the US Stryker. It maximizes internal space by only incorporating a HMG cupola. The hull side are smooth, unlike the ASLAV-PC's boxy extension.

The armour is thin, and lacking any optical magnification for the HMG, or any FCS this vehicle is very vulnerable. The machine gun should only be used for direct fire in support of its dismounted infantry, or in emergencies against other light vehicles.

Cross country performance is similar to other members of the LAV series, and is amphibious with minimal preparation. Currently the Piranha IIH is only available as an AI controlled vehicle.

The dismount section for the Piranha III is 6 men, carrying 2 PzF 3 light anti-armour weapons, an MG3, and 5.56mm rifles.
