Okay, that's actually a really good idea, and doesn't stray too far from the HISS tank's real purpose, which is to be fast, lightly armored and lightly armed. When I clicked on the "see my custom HISS tank" thread, I was actually saying to my self "I'll bet it's loaded with either
chain guns
or
missiles
," but gladly, yours has neither!
This is a very practical HISS conversion, made suitable for anti-aircraft use. The usual double cannon has just been replaced by a quad machine gun setup, so the costs would be probably the same to produce this (if this were a real tank, I mean), as opposed to loading it with costly chain guns and hugely expensive missiles, like most G.I. Joe vehicles, sadly.
See, my point is this; the HISS is the kind of vehicle that is not built for heavy duty combat (except in large numbers perhaps). Rather, it is expected some wouldn't survive a skirmish. Why then would such a tank be loaded with super expensive weaponry like some customizers believe? This conversion you did simply nails it, my friend. Simple, yet effective, and it even fills a niche the Cobra forces need to fill. You've impressed me for thinking of something I didn't!
