Description
The Omniphasa Ordnance 5 Series (1933) with OO-5 Model A and B.After realizing that the crew in the OO-4 were way too packed inside the tiny compartment, the OO-5 Model A appeared on the drawing table.
The chassis of the OO-5 Series would be twice the size of the previous Omniphasa Ordnance designations.
Along with the chassis, it was also the hull that would be increased in size, allowing for a total of 4 in crew to take place inside the armored vehicle.
The hull shared the same philosophy as the OO-4 with beveled edges.
