−	In 2065 during the [https://kerbal-powers.wikia.com/wiki/Delras_Rebellion Delras Civil War], the need for an effective technical killing vehicle was made apparent in the numbers of small lightly armored vehicles seen in battle. The response was to tear the Eland-90 turret off HVHL-As and replace it with an armored cab housing first two, and later (on third generation HVHL-Bs) three M230 Chain Guns. The huge volume of fire capable of these weapons made the B model Armored Car a highly capable vehicle in support of the IFVs and Armor of the main Zokesian Army. The speed and firepower meant that closing to point-blank and unloading a salvo of 30mm explosive bullets was a highly effective, albeit dangerous tactic.	+	In 2065 during the [https://kerbal-powers.wikia.com/wiki/Delras_Rebellion Delras Civil War], the need for an effective technical killing vehicle was made apparent in the numbers of small lightly armored vehicles seen in battle.

−	The D model HVHL was designed in early 2068 by Ward Industries following an Ordinance request for a craft which could be used as indirect support for tanks. Ordinance wanted a vehicle capable of a first salvo from behind the lines, to take out a few enemy vehicles and turn the tide of the battle in the first few moments. The HVHL-D fit that role with a hull mounted ground attack radar system and four AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles set to ground attack mode. The weapon was promising in testing but was overshadowed by the CMB which promised the same effectiveness at half the cost and at four times the distance from the battlefield. In the end, 40 were ordered by the Zokesian Army and were later sold to Dust Harvest, where they fought in the First Dust War with limited success. ~~[[File:Screenshot337.png\|thumb\|316x316px\|The wrecks of over a dozen Wo'vian armored tractors after fighting a Badger force one tenth their number, May 2071.]]~~	+	The D model HVHL was designed in early 2068 by Ward Industries following an Ordinance request for a craft which could be used as indirect support for tanks.

	The Mk III Badgers rolled out in 2076 to replace older Mk II Badgers, increasing armor while removing the jet power which propelled them. These models met mixed success, coming under stiff resistance in the Southern Polar Campaign of 2078-79. Unable to match the performance expected, they were used as a basis to create a new, improved Badger.

−	The designers modified the Mk III Badger at great length before abandoning its chassis, completely rebuilding it with the new improvements on a stronger square body. This allowed the design to feature two crew, an additional rocket launcher on the back, and more ammunition for the 30mm gun. The design is being put into service as Mk IIIs are sold off or scrapped. The transition will complete by the end of 2079, with 183 of the -A and -B models in production.	+	[[File:MOSHED-2023-1-21-14-37-19.jpg\|thumb\|316x316px\|Gen 4 Badger in operational training 2190.]]The designers modified the Mk III Badger at great length before abandoning its chassis, completely rebuilding it with the new improvements on a stronger square body.

		+	The 2100s saw a coming of age of the Badger, with only minor modifications and electronics upgrades throughout the first half of the century. The badger was largely kept in reserve, following the development of so-called "supertanks" such as the P14 and [[Rhodie Infantry Fighting Vehicle\|RHDE-2100]], both with armor the badger's aging weaponry was unable to handle. In the 2160s, the Badger underwent a major design upgrade to allow the fitting of multiple new turrets, including upgunning with 30mm automatic bushmaster and 90mm guns. The adaptable hull was named HVHL F, and began a resurgence of the type in the latter half of the 2100s. The further refined G model featured exoplanetary capability for export to other nations around the Kerbin system.
