The Dreadnought is the stuff of legends, a status symbol which only the most elite of Scavengers have the honor of driving. While revered for it's magnificent strength, some even forming machine cults and worshiping it as a holy artifact, it is otherwise used in the mundane task of conducting regular supply runs. Maybe that is why it is so revered; it, and the men and women who drive it are the only things that are keeping the Scavengers alive all these years. It's supply runs also help to connect various tribes together and has since became a symbol of unity in the face of CABAL's crusade and the Scrin invasion. Such sense of unity is also practiced with the rig itself. Alone, it only has a gunner to operate the dual heavy machineguns up front and a pair of "swarmer launchers", eight missile launchers jury-rigged to fire all at once at random targets. It's main strength is seen when five passengers take up positions around it. The varied weapons each passenger carries enable the whole rig to deal with just about any threat. Heavily armored and surprisingly fast for it's size, it is not very maneuverable and is still outclassed by military-grade weapons. It's rarity also means that it is very costly to deploy and losing it is indeed a major blow.

Notes:
-This unit is unique to the Wasteland Scavengers subfaction
-Can carry 5 passengers (size limit 1)
-Passengers can fire out
-Cannot be pilot sniped
-Immune to omni crush
-Original voxel by Tacyarts

While I cannot maintain that this is an original idea (it's probably from Mad Max: Fury Road), the idea of implementing it in a mod certainly is original and the general implementation and the art are appealing. It is also, in my opinion, a very fitting unit for the Forgotten.

Updated voxel and a few stats change.

Originally its armed with dual heavy machineguns which did splash damage and a bunch of dudes in the back to throw a barrage of molotovs at tougher targets such as tanks. This has since been changed. The dual heavy machineguns no longer deal splash damage but are more deadly against infantry and light vehicles. Replacing the molotov dudes are a pair of swarmer launchers which can unleash up to eight standard anti-armor missiles in a burst. These act like the Cyborg Reaper's split missiles in that they will hit random targets apart from the initial target. This enables the Dreadnought to deal damage to multiple hard targets but the low damage, low firing rate, and lack of anti-air means it will still find use in it's main strength which are the five passengers it can carry.

Here's a pic of a pair of them firing their swarmer missiles:
