SPECIAL FEATURES
- Automated Target Acquire and Fire System
- Standard Police-Grade Sensors and Scanners
- Mobility: Quick paced, highly maneuverable. The RCWV can be quick to deploy, quick to arrive at destination and quick to get out when there's too much heat
- Armor: Capable of withstanding pressure for a limited time, wheels are laced with titanium making them impregnable to conventional methods of puncturing.
- Armament: Twin 50 cal may sound scary but compared to what some vehicles out there have, it is nothing.
- Does not fly: Where everything else is capable of flight, even at short altitudes, the RCWV cannot.
- Rollover: The RCWV is a quick beast and very maneuverable. Unprofessional, risky driving specifically when turning increases the risk of rolling the vehicle over resulting in casualties.
Made to be deployed at lightning speed at quickly escalating situations and with equal speed to suppress riots and relieve pressure from on foot police officers.
The RCWV, due to its cheap price, has seen its use by lower budget militias or conventional fringe armies from poorer planets for warfare. Its simple construction makes it easy for mechanics to strip it down and rebuilt it. This saves a lot of time regarding maintenance and thus makes the purchase of RCWV a bargain in the long run due to the lower maintenance costs.
Parts are easily replaceable and more creative mechanics may repurpose the speedy vehicle to whatever they see fit. Replaced mounted twin 50 cal heavy machine guns with anti-air flak guns? Why not? Take it another step and replace the guns with a flamethrower ? Yep, there you go - a fire tank. Slat armor - go ahead. A less powered but fast as a lamborghini howitzer? Do it.
Go absolutely nuts.
The RCWV is a simple and highly modifiable vehicle that can be used quite efficiently by intelligent commanders and operators.
