Variants

Unlike previous vehicles developed by Verhun Defence Systems, the L-55 Vantage has its developments and variants divided into four "Blocks". Block One includes the Reconnaissance and Recovery/Repair types. Block Two includes Armoured Personnel carrier, Anti-Tank and Anti-Air vehicles. Block Three focuses on the heavier vehicles; the Logistics Carrier, Ambulance, Command and Bridge Laying vehicles. Block Four focuses on the 'Medium Armour', namely the Direct-Fire and Indirect-Fire/Mortar variants. The development was separated into blocks to allow for different teams within Verhun to focus on their designated designs; whilst all still be cross-compatible with each other.
