DESCRIPTION:
The Liberty-Class Heavy Assault Tank (LC-HAT) was commissioned by the Republic Military in order to supplement the frontline efforts of its troopers. The vehicle is a heavily-armored piece of technology that was specifically designed to penetrate enemy armor. In order to accomplish this, the LC-HAT has equipped with a forward, Beam Cannon Turret which boasts the power to shred through some of the strongest durasteel, two Medium Repeating Blasters to lay down fire upon the enemy ground teams, and a Concussion Grenade Launcher to further unleash hell upon the enemy. Furthermore, in terms of speed, the LC-HAT moves on par with the majority of the walkers at the employ of various regimes. This is due to improvements being implemented in the tank's overall design, derived from the T4-B, that result in a higher top speed.

Alright, right out the door; "heavily armored" and "highly mobile" almost never go together. As the amount of armor plating goes up, speed goes down. It's a one-or-the-other sort of deal. It's why scout vehicles can be so fast, but can almost never stand up in a fight. As well, the role indicates "infantry", which I would take to mean anti-infantry duties, which stands in stark contrast to its described role and armament, which is clearly anti-tank. And it's stated role of "Support" clashes with its described role as an Assault tank.

All in all, this tank has a lot of contradictions it needs to sort through. It's trying to be everything at once and that just doesn't work.
