Overview

Image of an Australian M577

The M577 is a variant of the M113 Armored Personnel Carrier intended for use as a mobile command post, generally at the battalion level. It features a raised internal roof to facilitate more equipment and allow command staff to stand inside the vehicle and a roof-mounted APU to power equipment. There are five primary variants: the M577, M577A1, M577A2, M577A3, and M577A4. In German service, the vehicle was redesignated the M577G and M577GA1, equivalent to the M577 and M577A1, respectively.

Rationales

  1. There is limited data on the offroad performance of the M577. However, being a tracked vehicle, it likely was capable of similar speeds to its on-road performance. Therefore, a speed debuff of 10 km/h from its road speed seems appropriate.

  2. [1] states the maximum cruise distance on the road for both the M577 and M577A1 is 480 km. Because the vehicle will spend a considerable time off-road in Warno, the endurance is likely lower. Therefore, a range of 350 km seems appropriate.

  3. The M577 is a large-sized vehicle, meeting the requirements for a "Bad" stealth rating per the established standard.

  4. The M577 crew has minimal visibility from the periscopes around the driver's position, which, coupled with its intended role as a command post and not a frontline combatant, meets the requirements for a "Bad" optics rating per the established standard.

  5. It makes no sense for a command vehicle to be unable to detect influence in a capture zone.
