DESIGN NOTES
Both new-built and produced by modernizing existing EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX (Ausf.3) hulls, in production alongside the older Ausf.3 from 2455. Despite catalog continuity with the Onyx family, the AAF gave it a distinct designation (Centurion-MTV) rather than a suffixed Onyx name.
Base for a wider Ausf.4 specialist family: EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4F (Centurion-Ł, communications), EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4FLAL (Centurion-AAL, laser air-defence), EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4AUFKL (recon/sensor for air-defence, not yet adopted), EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4FU (Centurion-WD, command), EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4FLAK (Centurion-FV, flakvierling), EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4DROH (Centurion-UL, UAV carrier, pairs with the towed EQUIP_GROUND_DSA1_HABICHTNEST trailer), EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4SAN (Centurion-WEM, medical evacuation), and EQUIP_GROUND_ONYX4PI (engineering; only its Centurion-TM mortar-transport configuration is adopted).
Card built from cards/TEMPLATE_GROUND.md (ground_equipment_card_v1).
