Strengths:
- Incredibly long range: As an Artillery unit, this walker's range is in the dozens of miles (or dozens of Kilometers, for you metric folk). Its able to rain doom on its foes before they are even able to see them.
- Rapid fire payload: The Missiles in particular on this badboy are designed to shoot out with incredible speed.
- Swivel Chassis: The gun rack on the AT-LRA does a 360 rotation so locking on your target is easier than ever before. So if the AT-LRA is going north and you get a target in the east, the gun rack swivels to their position for ease of targeting.
- Slow: In the grand scheme of things, this walker could probably lose a foot race against an asthmatic hutt.
- Blind Firing Arc: Sure, its great to be able to lob death from a mile or three away, but it really sucks when you have no anti-infantry measures for those close by. I mean, sure the SSMs and Long range flak cannon can do wonders for knocking down infantry units for quite a distance, but when they are clamoring on the hull of this walker--what you gonna do?The wise general knows that pairing this thing with an anti-infantry tank or a group of foot solders will make this thing golden.
- Gas Guzzler: This bad boy is great for a lot of things, but being fuel efficient isn't one of them. Its highly recommended that this guy have a munitions truck in toe with gas if your going to deploy him for extended periods--or to just have him deployed not too far from a base so the AT-LRA can get fueled up as needed.
At RMIA we love up close and personal battles as much as the next guy. Heck, at least half of our products thus far are designed for intense land-warfare engagements.But sometimes its nice to be able to just sit back and enjoy blowing your enemies up from a few miles out.
For some, there is nothing more relaxing than the sound of shells blowing up bunkers, infantry divisions, tanks, and even small cities.If that's your thing, then the AT-LRA is the tool for you. For the land warrior and future despot, its the go-to gift. After all, what better way to show your enemies you mean business than shelling them with half a dozen heavy flak rounds?
Thanks to the advanced long range sensor and targeting unit, dishing out damage has never been easier. After real-time battle testing, results showed the AT-LRA had the slick ability to hit with pin-point precision.
While the AT-LRA is naturally low to the ground to prevent rolling and provide a smaller target to attack, if needed she can rise to nearly double her height to lob damage over structures at targets.The multi-joint leg system means it can scale most obstacles that comes its way--even if it takes quite a while.
Of course while the AT-LRA is able to shell out doom for quite some time, it does have a pretty big problem: Up close infantry. Lacking any real close range defensive measures, the AT-LRA does really great with keeping foes down and out--until they get close.
All in all, its just a pretty dope walker artillery unit.
