- Hypervelocity Dual-Rotary Cannon
- "Shin-Kickers"
Defenses: Average
- Heavy Armour
Passenger Capacity: 15
Cargo Capacity: 1 ton without Passengers
Special Features:
Shin Kickers - Much like the Landing Pods, if the LTTV finds itself in the thick of opposition, it can deploy 'Shin Kickers'. These are canisters near the wheels that when detonated, throw high-speed shrapnel in all directions. This shrapnel is deployed at shin-height, thus the name 'Shin Kickers'
Strengths:
Armoured - Thick Durasteel and Alusteel almost entirely eliminates the need for Shields
Armed - Equipped with a Hyper-Velocity Dual-Rotary Cannon Turret, the LTTV is capable of defending itself and the troops it deploys
Fast (For an APC) - Topping just over 50mph, the LTTV is a fast rhino
Weaknesses:
Lightly Armed - The HVDRC on top can kill, but it's barely adequate for the frontline of a Battlefield
Manoeuverability - Big, Heavy and driven on Tracks, the LTTV is a slow turner
Description:
A large APC propelled by fast treads, designed for frontline relief. The LTTV is armed with a Hyper-Velocity Dual-Rotary Cannon and Shin-Kickers. Topping 50mph the LTTV can arrive on a battlefield, deploy up to 15 troops/droids at a time, and provide anti-infantry support while it does so. But with a small turret, its usefulness is essentially exhausted once reinforcements have been deployed.
