MX 100
History
Australia’s MX 100, introduced in 1973, represented one of the country's earliest attempts at a true Infantry Fighting Vehicle. Though superficially similar in silhouette to the American M114, internally it was an entirely different machine. Operated by a crew of two, the commander/gunner managed a 20mm autocannon, a coaxial .30-cal, and a fixed unguided single-shot rocket launcher — essentially a handheld AT weapon rigid-mounted to the turret. This gave the MX 100 excellent anti-infantry capability but left it almost entirely ineffective against armour, making it dependent on heavier supporting vehicles in tank-threat environments. Still, it carried eight dismounts with adequate protection and mobility.
What set the MX 100 apart in its era were its early night-vision devices and a rudimentary yet effective fire-control system, placing it ahead of many Western IFVs of the early 1970s. These advancements made it particularly useful for ambush operations, convoy escort, and nighttime border patrols. Nevertheless, its lacklustre anti-tank suite led to a short frontline service life, and by 1978 it was replaced by an upgraded variant equipped with a proper guided missile launcher.

About the Project
The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.
