XM_3 Armadillo

Although the rest of the XM program that aimed to create a heavily armored series of new combat vehicle was very successful the XM_3 didn't manage to fulfill the gap in fast assault vehicle. Even though it posses an enormous amount of armor and shielding for it's size and class as a "light vehicle", it doesn't have enough firepower to take on larger craft, worse it was equipped with workhorse wheels for engineering and simplicity issues, although they are a great compromise in terms of size weight capacity and armor they are too slow for any sort of light vehicle. Due to those problems the XM_3 was never massively produced, and saw only little successes as an infantry support They eventually were redesigned with less shield power to be IFV's capable of transporting troops, a role in which it’s still showed little success
