Mamba scout tank

The Mamba, officially the Gun Scout Crawler 2-Inch "Mamba" (Izeryker: Kanonverkekruper 2t «Mamba»), is an Izeryker designed for scouting and infantry support. It is operated by the Izeryk Duchal Armies by the Light Ruitery (as part of reconnaissance and security elements in support of armored and mechanized Stridkommandos) and Shock Riflery (as part of Stridkommando-level tank battalions providing direct fire support to light and motorized infantry regiments). The two branches are legally barred from operating like the Serpent, which in the Duchal Armies may only be operated by the Shock Ruitery, and thus have historically been restricted to light tanks like the Mamba for protected direct fire support.

The Mamba is notable for its small size, having been designed to be air transportable in tactical airlifters and not require larger tank transporters to be allocated to light infantry units. This was partially accomplished by placing the driver in the turret, encased in a capsule that is always oriented forward relative to the hull. While the design initially faced problems with driver disorientation in the prototype stage, this challenge was overcome prior to serial production via the complete isolation of the driver, blocking their view of the turret roof, and implementing a holographic interface in the driver's viewport that mimicks a view of the hull. One side benefit of the placement is the driver can safely reverse the tank by re-orienting their station to face rearwards, negating the need for the tank commander to lean out their hatch and direct them.
