This is another vehicle in the Cat series, based on the Puma AFV. Like other Cats, it is amphibious and air-transportable, capable of high off-road speed. It is intended to allow the fast resupply of ground forces with munitions, rations and other materials. It can carry some 3300 lbs internally under normal conditions.
The stats below represent the 'standard' Cheetah, but most users customize the ARV to some degree. Since it has a high HT, it isn't uncommon for some buyers to take the Cheap option.
