- SPG means you need a plan B: The long range and aching ability of the walkers mortars mean that it will usually be positioned in a well secured and hard to target area. With the ability to rain down hell on enemy positions, this walker can take out defenses and come to clean up the stranglers.
- Jack of all trade: This walker is very all purpose with good armor, speed, armament and other features that make if able to be deployed in almost any battle situation and not be a liability.
- Non specific: Being a jack of all trades has it's down sides as such a walker can be out perfromed in certain field by more specialized craft suited to a certain environment it may be fighting in.
- Sneaking Infantry: The AT-XT though able to take on infantry has a slightly hard time pin pointing then when up close with no dedicated anti-personal cannon like the AT-ST. Though not a walk in the park to take on if at infantry managed to get close enough the pilot will have a hart time dealing with them.
The AT-XT was a experimental walker back int the day of the Galactic Republic in the clones was and though highly effective was never mass-produced as its designers were constantly improving its design and combat capabilities. As such when the war ended most walkers were replaced by the AT-ST and At-PT as the empire was not in need of a medium walker besides certain area's for full scale conflicts. As such with the galaxy engulfed with endless war Harley put to use remaking this SPG walker and put it to full production to fight alongside the already existing AT-JT that the company has made.
Operating Use
Similar to its use in the clone wars the AT-RXT is mainly used as a supporting walker that is used to bombard an enemy position before joining in a main assault, combining artillery, mobility and general combat use into one craft. In addition it's fast speed and room for 2 days supplies mean the craft can be used to scout and patrol, when along side HLCS other walker the AP-JT the two become a very dangerous duo. Still one must take care when going up against heavier craft.
Defense Spec
The AT-RXT is now fitted with a more up to date shielding unit to protect it from on coming attack as well as strategic armor plates around it's joins. To prevent ammo racking the mortar launcher can be retracted into the hull of the walker, nullifying the potential weak spot. Still even though this walker is more suited to front line combat it can still be taken down if enough fire is concentrated on it, though will last longer then a mere AT-ST.
