"...all-terrain vehicle..." is an error. It is limited to the road only.

A large Armoured Fighting Vehicle (AFV) with a cannon mount typical of old-era tank designs. The default layout includes the Rumble Cannon which has unlimited ammunition capacity. This vehicle is ideal for road based attacks against strong hostiles in the air when they are distracted by X-com air assaults. The power of the cannon can level buildings from misses if aimed towards low flying or road based enemies. Two other weapons are specific to this design, a missile launcher and a plasma cannon to further customise its role. Smaller weapon systems may be mounted but are not ideal since other vehicles are better suited due to the cost and limited availability of this tank.

Engine Upgrades - Chassis Only

As with all road based vehicles:
Road vehicles are not very useful because all roads are too weak. The vehicles are good, the roads aren't.

-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 Air Defense (Apocalypse)|ground launched missile launcher]] or an even longer range [[Plasma Turret Cannon (Apocalypse)|plasma cannon]]. Smaller weapon pods can be used if desired. The tank has an optional [[Medium Weapons Control (Apocalypse)|Medium Weapons Control]] slot to boost its aim on stationary targets and has room to fit the [[Metro Multipower Plus (Apocalypse)|biggest grav-road engine]] on the market.
-Contrary to the official entry, the Griffon is not an all-terrain vehicle but a grav-road bound vehicle. The large tracks are decorative. This is the Griffon's biggest flaw. Despite having hull points comparable to the Annihilator{{Verify}} along with much thicker armour plating, it will instantly cease to exist the moment the grav-road beneath it is destroyed. This severely limits its usefulness as a close combat vehicle.

-On the other hand, the Griffon can be a very effective long range attacker. Griffon AFVs placed strategically around the city can provide heavy ground to air fire support for your aircraft. To help draw fire away from them they are best deployed once the air skirmish has begun.
