After the astounding success of the Goodman Scare Face model, Lycoming was left with a large warehoused surplus of standard Vitzh units, but very little market interest in their, now quite dated, VT model. To try and offset the potential financial loss, the design engineers at Lycoming D.S. retrofitted a standard Vitzh model with additional armour modules, updated the cockpit systems, made hydrolics and drivetrain tweaks, and upgraded the weapons mounting hard points to allow more armaments to be added to the platform. Thus, the Vitzh modified, or m-Vitzh, was born.

Lycoming sweetened their offer by providing the option to have already fielded Vitzh units receive the modification upgrades at minimal cost. Many division commanders exercised this option only to find that the improvements to the platform where minimal, and performance gained was not enough to even remotely consider the m-Vitzh as a capable role replacement for the Scare Face model. Once again, the m-Vitzh was relegated to scout or escort duty, with frontline combat only being considered when multiple units were available to be assigned as a group.




Much of the advice given for the Vitzh model applies here also. The m-Vitzh has some minor statistical improvements from the standard Vitzh that should make it the default choice when deciding between the two. Having the same sortie point cost of 10 and only a slightly increased supply point cost as compared to the standard Vitzh, the m-Vitzh mounts more armament weight and with its extra armour might allow it to survive one additional hit.

The two extra units on the m-Vitzh maximum mount weight are probably its single most beneficial upgrade from the standard Vitzh model. Although they are classified as limited in supply, they are almost never sold out after their introduction due to better standard combat VTs being available like the Scare Face or Scare Face A1. m-Vitzh models are also available to Jaralaccs faction pilots on Turn 5 as a limited model.
