I'd like to request that the M84 Mortar Carrier be produced too. This is the open-topped hatch variant of the M59 APC (the APC already produced by Pendraken), carrying the 106mm Mortar,which is the forerunner of the similar M113 APC. It seems like early variants may have also carried the 81mm Mortar, just like the later M113.

The M59 was used as a HQ vehicle in the US Army, after the introduction of the M113, and also used by many allies. Apparently, the M84 continued to be used in Mortar units, and the HQs well into the 1970s and 1980s.
