No idea, but anti-tank platoons in infantry units date back to to WWII. First small cannon, then recoilless rifles, then guided missiles. GURPS WWII has some figures who had what. > If you are going to have a one-suit vehicle, why not a very heavy > motorcycle that *only* carries the battlesuit? Support could be > carried in a HMMWV or two. The motorcycles could only be driven by suits. I don't see how the same bike can be driven by a ST 120, 1-ton operator and a ST 10, 0.075-ton operator. The logistics could not follow a deployed suit unit, the suits would have to return to their starting point. The suit would have to be designed for those supercycles, and agile enough to keep the balance. Suit troopers would have to be trained as motorcyclists. Better use quad scooters, they're more stable, like the M274. Instead of a cycle frame with wheels, small retractable roller skates could be mounted on the suit. But you wouldn't want an one-ton suit to stumble ...
