The 3rd installment in the Basilisk series, the V51 was given extensive armament to allow it to fill a variety of roles. With its autoloaded 130mm main gun firing APFSDS and HEFS, it is capable of destroying fortifications and enemy armor with ease. The Basilisk also boasts several auxiliary weapons such as its commander-controlled 20mm autocannon, coaxial 7.62 LMG, and 4 missile racks. These can fire TOW missiles, IR guided Anti-tank missiles, and/or Stinger missiles, with 4 missiles being stored in the bustle for reloading in the field. The V51 also has a variety of sights to give full visibly to the crew. The extendable sight allows the tank to maintain a low profile while still giving an excellent view of the battlefield, and also allows the crew to see over cover.
