Description
The Rhino MGS (full name: Mobile Gun System) is a wheeled tank destroyer used exclusively by NATO forces in ArmA 3. The Rhino MGS is the latest wheeled tank destroyer in NATO armored forces, designed for easy transportation to crisis regions. Its lightweight 120mm main cannon can use all conventional rounds including MARUK ATGMs, which increase its effective range to 8 km. The vehicle's secondary weapon is the .338 magnum SPMG coaxial machinegun. The price paid for the Rhino's great mobility and firepower is its light armor and low supplies of ammo and fuel. The chassis and overall configuration of the Rhino is based on the real-world "Rooikat" AFV designed by South Africa-based vehicle manufacturer Land Systems OMC. The turret on the other hand, is based on an experimental, autoloader-equipped design for the real Rooikat.
The Rhino's role and configuration is also very similar to the real-world "M1128 Stryker MGS" armoured assault gun vehicle designed by General Dynamics Land Systems.
Its autoloader-equipped turret and armament loadout is almost identical to that of the Medium Caliber Anti-Armor Automatic Cannon (MCAAAC) developed by Ares Inc. that is used on real MGS Strykers.
