Auroch Attack Hovertank
« on: May 19, 2012, 09:58:23 PM »

Well Irose this one is for you. The hard charger I proposed. Pretty straight forward design intended to quickly close with the enemy and destroy it. Groups of these ancient bulls stampeding toward your lines might cause some concern. Mechwarriors side stepping their assaults akin to matadors became common tactical practice. Could appear very early perhaps during the Age of War against the Capellans with its final appearance coming during the Reunification War. Simple technology really which is becoming obsolete. Thoughts? Usable??

nice design- I could see it either as a standard heavy cavalry vehicle or it could have been developed during the RW as a cheap, easily mass produced, easy to use vehicle to equip militia and volunteers with.
