STRENGTHS

Overwhelming Anti-Armor Firepower - The twin Heavy Mass Driver Cannons supported by ordnance launchers and assault concussion missiles allow the MX-190 to annihilate enemy armor, walkers, and fortified positions at extreme range, making it a dedicated tank killer rather than a generalist platform.

Exceptional Survivability - The MX-190 was designed with reinforced heavy ablative armor, Mandalorian Iron plating, and a robust deflector shield generator, providing the durability to absorb sustained punishment from heavy weapons that would cripple or destroy lesser repulsortanks.

All-Angle Fire Coverage - Designed with multiple secondary weapon systems, including fire-linked Mk 3e/W Heavy Laser Cannons and three 88i Twin Light Blaster Cannons - with dedicated rear coverage - ensures that the MX-190 is difficult to flank or overwhelm by infantry or light vehicles.

Layered Defensive Countermeasures - Missile deactivation transmitters, flare dispensers, and smoke grenades make the MX-190 highly resistant to guided munitions and coordinated anti-armor ambushes.

Psychological Impact - The sheer size, armor profile, and thunderous firepower of the MX-190 make it a terror weapon, often breaking enemy morale before direct engagement even begins.

​

WEAKNESSES

Extremely Low Maneuverability - The immense mass and reinforced frame of the MX-190 significantly limit its turning radius and agility, making it ill-suited for urban combat, dense terrain, or rapidly shifting battlefields.

Low Strategic and Tactical Speed - While durable, the MX-190 cannot redeploy quickly and is vulnerable during transit without proper escort or air superiority.

No Troop Transport Capability - Unlike other MX-series variants, the MX-190 sacrifices passenger capacity entirely, requiring separate assets to support infantry or boarding operations.

Crew Dependency - Despite automation aids, the tank performs optimally only with a full, well-trained crew; losses or fatigue among operators sharply reduce combat effectiveness.

Large Sensor and Visual Profile - Its size and power output make it easy to detect via sensors, orbital surveillance, and long-range targeting systems.

Overhead Coverage - Though designed to carry an extensive array of weaponry, which provides all-angle fire, the MX-190 is still highly vulnerable to overhead strikes from air assets or out-of-sight artillery.

DESCRIPTION

The MX-190 Type Super Heavy Fighter Tank represents the apex of the MX-series' evolution into a pure assault and anti-armor platform. Designed by Aether Systems for the Mandalorian Empire, the MX-190 abandons versatility in favor of raw dominance, serving as a battlefield executioner capable of shattering enemy armored formations and entrenched defenses. Inspired by the Canderous-class Assault Tank, the MX-190 amplifies that design philosophy with heavier armor, larger weapon mounts, and a reinforced repulsorlift frame engineered to withstand direct engagements with other heavy vehicles. Its twin Heavy Mass Driver Cannons form the backbone of its offensive capability, capable of delivering devastating kinetic strikes or specialized ordnance tailored to bunkers, armor columns, or hardened emplacements. Secondary laser and blaster systems provide continuous close- and mid-range defense, ensuring the tank is never without teeth, even when its primary weapons are cycling or reloading. Defensive systems and countermeasures allow it to advance methodically under fire, embodying the Mandalorian philosophy of relentless forward pressure. While slow and cumbersome compared to other MX variants, the MX-190 is not meant to chase enemies - it is meant to force them to stand and break. Deployed sparingly and supported properly, it functions as a mobile siege engine and armored spearhead, turning battlefields into kill zones and reinforcing the Mandalorian Empire's reputation for overwhelming, uncompromising warfare.
