STRENGTHS

Juggernaut - The HAVw A12 lives up to its name and comes equipped with an impressive array of armaments. It is also outfitted with heavier defenses, allowing it to shrug off enemy fire from all save the heaviest of armor-penetrating ordnance.

Sentry Tower - Equipped with a sophisticated sensor array and additional communications equipment, the tower is utilized in collecting information and relaying it to assist the gunners in targeting. The position can also be utilized to keep a lookout for enemy forces as it provides a commanding view of the surrounding area.

Dual Control Cabin - The HAVw A12 was designed with a control cabin at either end of the vehicle due to its lack of maneuverability and nearly non-existent turn radius. This allows the vehicle to be controlled more easily and offsets the time required to turn the vehicle around by simply allowing it to be driven from the other end rather than attempting to reverse course.

​

WEAKNESSES

Sentry Tower - Though providing a commanding view of the surrounding area, the observation tower is an easy target for enemy forces. The loss of the Sentry Tower means the loss of the sensor array and communications systems which can result in the vehicle losing contact with friendly forces and having to rely on ground sensors which can leave the vehicle vulnerable to attacks from aircraft or other vehicles not in its direct line of sight.

Juggernaut - The HAVw A12 is a slow and ungainly behemoth of a vehicle that is incapable of performing tight turns, rapid maneuvers, or achieving high rates of speed, making for an excellent target for faster-moving vehicles.

Drive Shaft - Known to be easily disabled and nearly impossible to repair in the field, a damaged drive shaft can render an HAVw A12 incapable of maneuvering over rough terrain in the best of cases; and in the worst cases, a broken drive shaft can render the vehicle a sitting target incapable of moving.

Command Deck - Located at the front of the vehicle is the primary command deck and one of two dual-control cabins. This forward command deck is connected to the rest of the vehicle with a reinforced flexible joint, however, damage to this joint can often cripple the vehicle by removing its forward propulsion and many of its primary systems that are tied into the front control cabin such as communications, gunnery targeting, and sensors.

DESCRIPTION

Aether Systems continues its foray into the world of Vehicle Manufacturing with the resurrection of an old classic to be deployed along the front lines of the Galactic Alliance. Introducing the HAVw A12 Juggernaut, a Heavy Assault Vehicle propelled forward by five sets of massive wheels and designed to be both a troop transport as well as a battering ram to batter down enemy fortifications. The HAVw A12 maintains many features of its predecessors including a semi-modular interior that allows for the transport of up to three-hundred troopers and their equipment and materials. Incorporating a dual-control cabin layout, this design feature was included as a means to overcome its lack of maneuverability and diminish the time required to attempt to reverse the vehicle's course by simply allowing the vehicle to be driven from the other end. Living up to its name, the HAVw A12 maintains an impressive array of armaments as well as heavier defenses than some of its predecessors in the HAV line of vehicles. Some of these defenses include smoke launchers to produce a screen to provide cover to retreat or mask an attack, and a reinforced chassis ensures that the HAVw A12 is more than capable of withstanding fire from all save the heaviest of armor penetrating munitions. The primary downsides of the HAVw A12 are also a result of its size, specifically, its lack of maneuverability, and its low rate of acceleration and top speed. This renders the vehicle more vulnerable to faster-moving vehicles as well as strikes from enemies that are not in its direct light of sight. However, the introduction of the HAVw A12 plays an important part in the ongoing wars that the Galactic Alliance finds itself facing, and even with its drawbacks, the vehicle is more than capable of withstanding the ongoing conflict. The HAVw A12 provides the Galactic Alliance with a versatile Heavy Assault Vehicle and Troop Transport combination that it has sorely been lacking.

Very cool sub again, however here too, the Neuranium is a restricted material. Because of this, I would like to ask you to remove from the materials or modify the production scale to Semi-unqiue.

Per your clarification, the Neuranium has been removed.
