	~~== General Information ==~~		The Griffon AFV is the toughest road vehicle X-COM can purchase. By default, it is issued with the [[Rumble Cannon (Apocalypse)\|Rumble Cannon]], one of the most powerful conventional weapons X-COM can purchase. The cannon can be swapped with a long range ground launched missile launcher or an even longer range plasma cannon. Smaller weapon pods can be used if desired.

	~~'''''Official Entry:''''' "~~The ~~meanest [[Marsec]] manufactured land based vehicle is an extremely heavily armored all-terrain vehicle~~ with a ~~choice of three different turret mountings~~. ~~Projectile and Plasma Cannons~~ can be ~~fitted, or a missile launching unit for targeting airborne vehicles~~."

	~~== [[Cityscape (Apocalypse)\|Cityscape]] Information ==~~		The Griffon's major weakness is that it not an all-terrain vehicle, but a road vehicle. The large tracks are sadly only for show. Like all other road vehicles, it will get destroyed instantly if the road underneath it is destroyed. This severely limits its usefulness as a close combat vehicle.
	~~Unfortunately, despite its rugged looks, the~~ Griffon is not an all-terrain-vehicle, ~~and in fact~~ a ~~grav-~~road ~~dependant~~ vehicle ~~with fake~~ tracks ~~that serve~~ only ~~to make~~ it ~~look big~~. This ~~means the tank is restricted to~~ the ~~roads~~, ~~thus eliminating the usefulness of its main cannon. This sadly leaves~~ the ~~tank looking grand only in looks. Tanks~~ can~~, however,~~ be very effective ~~if they are~~ strategically ~~placed~~ around the city to provide heavy ground support for air skirmishes ~~- preferably after the air skirmishes have begun~~. ~~This draws~~ fire away from ~~the tank~~, ~~which can be destroyed in a single blow if~~ the ~~road underneath it is destroyed~~.
			On the other hand, the Griffons can be very effective long range attackers. Placed strategically around the city, they provide heavy ground support for air skirmishes. To help draw fire away from them, they are best deployed once the air skirmish has already begun.
