Description: After the Battle of Castameer, Vitiate advisors had realized that much of the First Order's Military Vehicles were old, only a handful of them were up to galactic 'standards' and even then, they were designed oddly. They decided to change that, a new AT-ST, essentially, after seeing the original model on the aforementioned ice planet, changes were going to have to be made.
Equipped with a nose gun that happens to be an advanced version of the E-WEB Repeating Blaster Cannon, the F-WEB Repeater that acts as a nose gun, only has a singular firing position, that being straight ahead with minimal angle variations. The same could be said for the laser cannons on the flanks of the oddly shaped box that contained the pilots. They didn't possess the angles to pan upwards, or to the front, or directly to the back, only minimal angle shifting on the sides. The laser cannons were implemented to dissuade infantry from attacking from the sides.
Tibanna gas purchased straight from Bespin, the repeating blaster, originally meant for personnel, was thus further enhanced to perform increased damage to vehicular armour, however, it is minimal, for it is still a repeating blaster and doesn't have enough damage output to critically damage a tank.
With its homing missiles atop, it leaves the casings open to being fired upon. If they were destroyed, it'd be impossible to repair in the middle of a combat operation. The firing arc of the homing missiles is a 360 degree range, but is incapable of targeting anything other than aerial vehicles, however, has the potential to target ground vehicles when they are further than two hundred metres, and laser designated.
