- Heavily armored legs and over all body compared to other bipedal walkers makes the AP-JT hard to bring down without dedicated AT weaponry.
- Accurate Anti personal blaster on a 360 swivel makes the walker deadly against infantry that are not properly prepared for it.
- Fast and maneuverable, but also more stable then the At-St due to larger footing which is able to grasp around ledges and uneven terrain.
- Only one form of armament makes the AP-JT unfit for fighting against other more dedicated Anti-vehicle and military craft. Though able to stand up in combat for longer in a prolonged fights will lose to higher enemy fire power.
- Though decently protected via glass steel glass the cockpit is still an obvious weak point on the walker and will break more quickly when under fire compared to the rest of the body.
- More vulnerable from the back as this is where the engine is located as well as less armor if one is able to get behind the craft in combat.
The AP-JT name actually translates to Anti Personal Joke Transport not All Purpose Jugnaught Transport as many think, going off the huge amount of armor used by the vehicle. The name comes from the fact that Harley deliberately molded the cabin design off of the ionic Snow Speeder used be the rebel alliance as ironic twist in reference to the battle of Hoth, placing two enemy craft into one design. Though that was not the entire reason for the production of this heavily armored walker, and nether is it a joke.
When starting off small one must try and find a way to appeal to other in a small way, gain interest and them from there make bigger and better stuff. The AP-JT is such that, targeted at the need for a heavily armored walker to support infantry in tight urban fighting that is not easy to bring down but still forfilling the need for scouting and recon with it sensors and communications.
Operating Use
The Ap-JT is a 2 seat scout recon and anti-personal infantry support vehicle, pilot sitting in front of the weapons and communications operator, though if need be can be driven by the pilot using the armament similar to an ATST pointing forwards. It's communication array and jammer allowing it to report directly to HQ or command while keeping its position safe from nearby enemy craft. The HUD on the window allowed for better targeting and threat detecting for the operators while giving a bigger field of vision that other walkers may lack. Pilots should be advised that despite being heavily armored the walker is not invisible and its lack of armament makes it inadequate for dealing with anything besides light vehicles.
Defense Spec
The Ap-JT uses heavy armor plating to keep the joints and body protected, the sloped design of the cock pit helping to defect shots. Combined with shielding one would find this walker hard to take down, even able to take a RPG shot and still stay active. The only problem is possible overheating if vents are not kept clear and the fact one can deplete the sheilds with concentrated blaster fire before opening up with AT weaponry.
