Well with a pair of TOWs, one on each side and a 25mm, or 30mm in a turret on top it might have been a formidable machine. Given the light weight and the low profile, although a turret on top might negate the low profile, with good cross counttry mobilty it would have been a fairly effective machine, IMHO.

However dedicated TDs generally did not hold up all that well against tanks.

Actually what we should have done is developed a missile to have been launched from the 106mm RR or the 90mm RR. This could have been an over caliber missile launched by using a expulsion charge with the substainer on the missile. For example an RPG 7. The RPG 7 is an over caliber recoiles launched rocket with a substainer. Just make it bigger and put a guidance system in it. This would have kept the 106mm and the 90mm in the inventory. This would have given the infantry a capability of not having to use a $300,000 missile on a pile of dirt with the bad guys behind it.

The Ontis or a modern version would have been a good vehicle to mount something like this on.
