Description:
This class of assault tank moves faster than the traditional assault tanks seen on the battlefield, however, the tank's weight forces it to have a poor acceleration. For it to reach it's maximum speed, it takes roughly four-five minutes which can make a difference in the field. To counter it's slow moving acceleration, the assault tank comes equipped with two types of weapons; the electromagnetic plasma cannon and the smaller plasma cannon.
The main weapon of the tank, the electromagnetic plasma cannon, shoots in bursts of five shots with a three second pause in between the fifth shot and the next series of bursts. The cannon has a deadly range of thirty meters, making it more useful for close quarter battles (i.e. cities). The secondary plasma cannon, located on top next to the tank's hatch, possess a rate of fire that is automatic. It's maximum range is fifteen meters, but it powerful enough to break through most shields and armour; with a downside that it has the potential to overheat from overuse.
Due to it being a repulsorlift, it can cross every terrain easily; with the exception of lakes and oceans. The tank has a small cargo capacity, usually filled with minor supplies for the crew. The assault tank comes with a chempat shield generator that can take a steady rate of hits; but the shields will eventually deplete against an onslaught of hits.
