Re: Quicksilver Program #32: Clan Urban Assault Vehicle (Wheeled)
« Reply #15 on: January 22, 2015, 12:53:56 PM »

Clan Hells horses has had a long reputation of expertise involving Omnivehicles and as such threw themselves wholeheartedly into the development of a new platform, relying on future sales and trades of the Epona to offset the cost of development.  Thier desire was to create a heavy class wheeled assault vehicle that could, reasonably, fulfill multiple combat and support roles for the clans, potentially replacing numerous utility vehicles such as the Indra, Hachiman, Ku, and even the vaunted Huitzilopochtli.

Starting with the unique, slender Magna 260 Fusion engine found on the Crusader (the SLDF's "Standard" Heavy Battlemech, such as it could be for the size of the SLDF) the orientation of the engine was changed to a horizontal plane that rested on the floor between the undercarriage and crew compartment.  Driver, Communications officer, and commander positions were installed in the forward section while the rear of the vehicle was armored walls and computer connections.  this gives rise to the most curious omnivehicle system ever created.  pre constructed combat package modules are constructed wholly seperate of the vehicle and installed on the rectangular rear slot behind the command compartment, each with pre installed electronics and mechanical packages suitable tor the equipment being used.  being based on a central frame each module can be customized into almost any other (some difficulties exist with conversion of the Command/Control/Communications and Artillery modules being converted in the field to differently blocks).  Still whole module replacement can be fulfilled in roughly two thirds the time of component replacement of traditional omnivehicles, while component swapping matches, or adds mere minutes to traditional maintenance and field repair time.  Even with the segmented nature of the vehicle, Command and combat crews can move back and forth freely between the compartments, and armor integrity is not compromised, permitting the twelve tons of armor protection to remain in place.

Named Yahweh, after a pre Abrahamic Cannanite war God (later adopted by the Hebrew tribes as a placeholder name for the Abrahamic God)  This new vehicle was created to be the Lord of all it surveyed on the battlefield.

The Primary Configuration is a twin cannoned line breaker designed to tear open armored opponents and then tear them down. Alternate A is a deep binned (by clan standards) Missile support boat, and configuration B is a close combat destroyer.  Configuration C is meant to haul and protect either two points of Battle armor or a full star of unarmored Riot Troops (with the capability of being converted into a Paddy wagon for Paramilitary police).  two fire support options are geared for Anti Aricraft duty and artillery operations

Perhaps the most notable configurations are the ones not geared fro direct combat but are expected to be deployed to every Galaxy and eventually every cluster.  The aptly Lettered H Configuration is a Mobile combat hospital that can see to the medical needs of an entire cavalry cluster.  the other notable configurations the E , which is a one vehicle universal combat engineering platform, able to push, lift or remove obstacles as well as deploy a single heavy bridge for the rest of the cluster to cross.  Finally the D Configuration is a full command control and communications suite, a valuable asset to any galaxy commander who does not wish to be tied to their dropship for such services.

Very good, just waiting on Abele and MasterArminas fluff now.

However we still have a full day to go so there are room for more. So far there is only a single Ultralight Vehicle.  ;)

Sun Wukong attack bike

Mass: 6 tons
Tech Base: Clan
Motive Type: Wheeled OmniVehicle
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Clan Invasion
Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-X-E-A
Production Year: 3052
Cost: 60,513 C-Bills
Battle Value: 66

Power Plant:  30 Fusion Engine
Cruise Speed: 86.4 km/h
Flanking Speed: 129.6 km/h
Armor:  Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
    2.0 tons of pod space.
Manufacturer:
    Primary Factory:
Communications System:
Targeting and Tracking System:

Overview:
Clan Ice Hellion are responsible for the Sun Wukong.

The word 'blame' has been thrown around.

There's absolutely no logic to the design - it's barely armoured and carries
barely more armour than an Elemental... which is where light begins to dawn in
the observers.


Clan Ice Hellion fields Sun Wukong in points of five for high speed urban
operations. Unsurprisingly, racing them has also become a popular 'training
exercise' even for warriors who usually scorn vehicles. Class 30 Fusion engines
aren't exactly common but in the absence for any alternative military purpose
for them the Sun Wukong can expect at least a short production run.


Capabilities:
The Sun Wukong can top 130 kph on tarmac and carry a third of its weight in
payload. What it can't do is survive a hit from a Clan medium laser or anything
with more punch.

The first three configurations all field laser arrays taking advantage of the
reactor's internal cooling. Deploying two extended range mediums, a single
medium pulse laser or four extended range small lasers is enough to make any
one of these configurations an nuisance to heavier units - and a full point a
credible threat.

In C configuration the Sun Wukong uses an active probe to hunt on behalf of its
peers and machineguns to keep infantry in check.

The Sun Wukong D is the final option, mounting only a single forward laser -
because it's intended to carry an elemental behind the pilot. A full point of
the bikes can thus quickly deploy their own number of Elementals (while in
theory additonal elementals can cling to the flanks, this hasn't been
successfully employed in practise.)

Drake . . . is Config B missing some weapons or equipment or something?  You've got two tons of pod-space, but only carry two ER Small Lasers.  Am I missing something?

Nice oxymoron drak! Deploying a point or star of Elementals this way is interesting to say the least. Although I have to question B configuration like masterarminas. Did you have one with a Medium Pulse?

That would be the product of me throwing this together when I'm usually asleep. I'll fix it.

FOUR ER Small Lasers is more sensible - possibility of causing PSRs

I did have a thought after I'd gone to bed that possibly the Sun Wukong should only be piloted by Elementals in full armour.

================================================================================

OVERVIEW:

The Merchant caste of Clan Diamond Shark is always looking to expand into the smaller niches of the weapons market, especially if
it can benefit the Clan. Seeking to crack into the light vehicle market and offer a more manageable option to the Shamash.
Using the ancient and ubiquitous Wheeled APC as a base, the old engine is removed and replaced by the same Standard 60-series
fusion found in the Shamash, which allows the Serbon to reach speeds nearing a 130kph. While slower than the Shamash,
the Serbon is less difficult to drive thanks to it's wheeled platform and it is more useable in varying types of terrain and easier
to maintain. To protect the Serbon, two-and-a-half tons of ferro-fibrous armor is mounted to shield the vehicle and the lone
warrior who pilots it.

This left three-and-a-half tons for a turret and weapons. Once the 500kg was devoted to the configurable and remotely-controlled
turret, three tons of weapons could be mounted (A ton more than the heavier and faster Shamash. Thanks to the use of the
fusion, it became econimcal to ficus on the inclusion of energy weapon on every configuration.


CONFIGURATIONS:

With the limitation of only three tons of podsapce to work with, the Diamond Shark design team still managed
to come up with six workable configurations.


PRIME: A rather simple design to come up with, a pair of extended range medium lasers are mounted in the turret.
These lasers are mated to a targeting computer to allow for better combat efficiency.

A: This is a scout vehicle fitted with turret-mounted active probe and a target acquisition unit for beyond LOS artillery
units. A pair of extended small lasers are the only weapons left to the lone warrior

B: A light strike unit similar to the Prime, a twin-tube Streak launcher replaces one of the medium lasers and the
targeting computer mounted in the Prime.

C: A medium pulse laser and a pair of machineguns make up the weapons in this model. It can be used as a flanker,
scout or an infantry support unit.

D: Two medium lasers, one extended range and the other a pulser, provide the offensive firepower of this hunter-killer
version of the Serbon

E: An infantry support vehicle makes up the final configuration as three small pulse lasers provide sufficient fire support
for dismounted infantry in urban or restrictive terrain.

Why not link this afterwards to a plan of the Merchant Caste to sell them to the Inner Sphere (as it doesn't look really Clan like with the TAG (apart from some of them))? I know it will go beyond the timeframe of the contest but the Sharks are cunning merchants.
