3085 versions of 3063 vehicles
« on: September 10, 2012, 10:53:49 PM »

in my effort to provide designs that fully leverage total warfare tech and make the vehicles more to a style I appreciate, I have done what I did with the mechs and chosen a vehicle from five powers that I woulds take in the post Jihad universe and update for rapid development and deployment to new defensive armies.

First on the list ts the DCMS BARS tank, which I have renamed Kunai to allow Japanses flavor.  since Ultra 10s would no longer be rare in DCMS space I have to fall back on traditional combine love for PPCS to justify this update.  the base vehicle itself is almost unchanged, just the main gun, and the exchange of one small pulse laser for two machine guns, which are A) Cheaper and B) Easier to fix in the field

the Stirker for the FWL I envision being developed by the Rim Commonality to fulfill the role that the US Department of Defense developed the Stryker for.  a fulfill any role modular support vehicle.  in my case I picture an MML Carrier, a Battle armor transport and support vehicle, a Light Gauss Rifle Mobile Gun Carraige, and a handfull of advanced variations.  as Solaris Armor works does not like playing with turreted Omni Vehicles though I am limited to a fixed MML Carrier. for now.

Going advanced tech, and putting that fusion engine and ECM suite to good use.  the Guando was the only CCAF vehicle I liked, cause it did a great job.  hauling infantry and supporting them.  I envision this vehicles being the sneaky lil coup de gras in a city fight bringing out lots of firey plasma doom not only from the vehicle, but from the trinity battle armor it would carry

the Republic of the Sphere took over many a comguard manufacturing plants, and saw the Heirax as an overexpensive mess of a VTOL with good intentions.  ROTS Engineers took the concept, reduced the BA compartment to bring it in line with RAF methodology, and used a standard fusion engine, as well as a lighter and equally effective light PPC as the main gun.  they even managed to up the speed a little and still cut the cost in half

The Hessen may have been developed to handle a wide variety of mission roles, but exclusivly short ranged armament limited utility to the extreme.  Mercenary contractors also had a keein interest in exploiting the relativly cheap but extremely effective C 3 system as a force multiplier, particularly when coupled with MML systems avaliable on the open market.  while armor coverage and energy weapons had to be sacrificed to make the MML hessen a reality, the results are quite pleasing to those looking for even more versatility.
