SPECIAL FEATURES
- Target Identification Network & Advanced Targeting Computer
- Front glass steal armor Sensall Active Sensor Array
- Basic Communication array
- Small steel glass eye slits/view ports
- Internal sighting for outside view
- Holographic dash display
- Composite/Homogenis Armor
- Invincible: Heavy shielding and thick conductive armor like the Juggernaut Tank from the clone wars make the Maus very hard to take down when facing it front on, almost able to operate independently due to it's array of weaponry.
- Destructive: The missile launcher and heavy laser cannon means this tank almost packs the punch of an ATAT, useful against most craft and some types of structures.
- No where to run: The large of anti-personal weaponry makes this tank very hard to escape from if you are caught out in the open an, able to cover the tank from all sides making flanking maneuvers risky
- Slow as crap: Though not a lumbering SPG with hardly any speed the Maus pails in comparison to fast speeders and other craft, as such can be outrun with relative ease. It's slow speed also affect maneuverability too, though not as much.
- Limited boom: Though packing a punch with it's missile launchers the pay load it only 2 a pieces, one fired the Maus has to reload. Not something one can do in the middle unless behind the main lines with support.
- Vulnerable Back: Needing good exhaust to keep the repulsion disc cool enough to support the heavy tank, most of the back is lightly armored. As such well placed shot can take the beast down if one is able to get behind it.
"Time to move away from the small more affordable craft and go full powerhouse" *direct quote*. With the smaller more versatile craft on the conveyor belt and out the door more heavier armored, armed and specialized craft where needed. Taking inspiration from 2-M Saber class repulsor tank Harley's company went about designing a larger and more well armed design, using its large front facing repulsor wing like appendages to justify a larger fixed barrel cannon. As a result Harley decided that this craft be their first Tank Destoyer, ordering the vehicle to be given more weapons.
Operating Use
As stated the 5 man crewd massive metal contraption is best used for long range anti-armor sniping, it's heavy cannon able to penetrate most craft lest for an AtAt itself or something around the same size/armor. This however is but a small part of the many roles it can play as in addition to its heavy cannon the array of anti-personal and medium arms allows the Maus to take on almost any threat, so long as it comes from the front. In open field battles it is imperative that this tank has flanking support, while in urban environments must watch out for ambushes with At weapons. Avoid all that and this armored craft will be naught but unstoppable, (best crewed by patient people).
Défense Spec
As stated the Maus has two deflector shield generators and super conductive armor plating, combined with standard sloped angles this thing can take a beating from the front and sides. Perfect for a vehicles that supposed to be pointing towards the enemy at all times but it is imperative it's operators do not let it get hit from behind. As it should be plain the too the back is vary unprotected, mainly to allow for heat exhaustion, so one well placed rocket fire from enemy craft and you can kiss the Maus goodbye.
