@Darvin Is this big enough for a fleet?

Sure, the size is sufficient to be called a fleet, but please tell us more about how they function, why do you have 3 MBTs, 2 APCs, or 2 command units? What is your reasoning behind this configuration and how these units complement each other?

The Mobile Command Units can issue orders to the other units, and pick up 2 ground units to drop them closer to their targets. They will also provide artilery support.
The bombardment gunships can carry 2 units, while also providing heavy BVR (Beyond Visual Range) bombardment with their cannons. They also provide radar and scanner intel to others in the fleet.
The striders are fast with shield piercing heavy railcannons. They are usually sent first to scout and distract the enemy, strafing around them at high speeds while maintaining their targets and attacking with the railcannons. However, they have no AA. This is where the jets come in. The jets take out any air targets, most dangerous first.
The three MBTs move in a formation where two are at the front and one is at the back, facing backwards. This provides 360 degree threat protection.
The Anti-personnnel APC moves with the Combat APCs, the MCV and the Heavy APC. These all complement each other because the Heavy APC provides AA cover, the Anti-Personnel APC attacks enemy troops and the Combat APCs use AP and HE autocannons to destroy enemy ground vehicles.
The MCV commands the land units and takes commands from the Kuro Class Command Centers.
The Hunter-Choppers stay with the Command Centers and snipe enemy vehicles in their range.

armor plate made of programmable matter or ''living metal'', heals itself but consumes energy. I spent a lot of time creating and then scrapping the design over and over again, but i think this one is a winner
