| The ground pressure is 9.8277752 tons/m2. The ground pressure reduces cross country speed, but the massive 40m³ suspension means that it will not become stuck or mire in snow, mud, sand or soft ground. The power to weight ratio with the mass driver engaged is 25 and 101 with the main weapon off.  The vehicle' weight precludes bridges. Finding places where it can ford rivers is problematic. Its mass and inertia mean movement at maximum speeds can be disastrous if cornering is attempted.

There are two schools of thought for their tactical deployment; one camp prefers to mass the entire battery for large fire missions at extreme range.  The other issues one vehicle to each infantry company for close direct and indirect fire support.  They rely on the self propelled GEV MLRS fire direction systems to coordinate artillery fire orders.  Their point defense envelop is the only platform in the [[Athune Fusilier Regiment]]s.
+
The crew will frequently dismount to take cover in prepared firing sites.  The entire massed battery can be fired remotely.  If they survive counter battery fire, the crews remount and displace to the new firing location, to set up again and repeat the process.  The auto loader makes sure they are ready once they set up in their new location.  Each launcher can coordinate artillery fire orders within the [[Athune Fusilier Regiment]]s.

The Fusilier class ACV/GEV MRLS is a TL-9 Armored Fighting Vehicle.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

They can be carried and deploy from AB-17R Condor class Assault Boats. In service with the Armed Forces of the Yimin Jiti. They are in use with Athune Fusilier Regiments. One battery of ten vehicles and thirty crew per regiment. A lightly armed hovercraft which can float on water. Fusiliers coordinate fire missions for the Partisan class Tracked AFVs.

Basic Vehicle Characteristics[edit]

Following the Imperial Army and IISS Universal Vehicle Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (of ten craft) carried on the vehicle when applicable. Tonnage on the universal vehicle profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary.

Basic Vehicle Characteristics
#. Category Remarks
1. Tonnage Total mass loaded: 37 metric tons.
  • Vehicle Dimensions: Chassis 2m tall, 3m wide, 7m length; Turret 1m tall, 2.5m wide, and 2.5m long.
  • Total usable volume: 48.25m³
2. Crew 3 driver, gunner and commander
3. Performance The fusion power plant produces 2MW and consumes 3 liters per hour. Movement: Maximum 104kph/86cm.
4. Electronics Equipment: No weapons stabilization, the vehicle can not move during indirect fire missions. The vehicle is sealed with over pressure versus NBC/CBR agents. There is a map box with GPS, thermal image, 1,000 power radio, 5 power MASER communicator, and a 20 power counter battery RADAR +6 DM, +4 DM radio direction finder. The weapon system is configured for remote fire control. The gunner's remote rig is included. The TL-5 fire direction center can prosecute one indirect fire mission per turn.
5. Hardpoints There is a turret on the chassis deck. The weapon is fitted with indirect fire control systems.
6. Armament Weapons: 10 tube x 10cm MRLS. It has a ROF 10 rounds per turn. The weapons has +2 signature. The rockets mass 60kg and there is storage for 200 rounds. The system is fitted with a auto-loader, so the loaders are not included in the crew. A full load of long range HE rockets are provided with purchase. The rockets are +0 accuracy up to half range and -4 accuracy out to maximum range.

The weapon requires 4.75 turns to set up for indirect fire missions. The rockets all use the same HE (17/2/3) warhead, but range and price varies.

13. Comments The power to weight ratio is 54 and the vehicle is amphibious.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

The crew will frequently dismount to take cover in prepared firing sites. The entire massed battery can be fired remotely. If they survive counter battery fire, the crews remount and displace to the new firing location, to set up again and repeat the process. The auto loader makes sure they are ready once they set up in their new location. Each launcher can coordinate artillery fire orders within the Athune Fusilier Regiments.
