Turret mounted co-axial HMG

There is a co-axially mounted HMG in the stabilized turret, with storage for 800 rounds, enough for 20 fire phases.

Direct Fire Characteristics: HMG
Effective Range Long Range Extreme Range
50 (6)+3 100 (5)+2 150 (3)+1
7. Defenses The thick composite laminate armor for the chassis and turret front 56, all others faces rated 40 armor. It is +5 versus low hits and +1 versus high hits due to its size. There are 10 smoke dischargers and 10 anti-laser aerosols with a laser sensor trigger 7+.
8. Craft None.
9. Fuel Fuel capacity 1,595.9 liters, enough for 26.598333 hours (...almost 1.1 standard days).
10. Cost Production Cost: Cr. 3,560,452.8
11. Construction Time 12 weeks.
12. Maintenance Vehicle: 8 Electronics: 41 Weapons: 12 Suspension: 5
13. Comments 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.

History & Background (Dossier)

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 Regiments.
