SPECIAL FEATURES

• The presence of an on-board Zeus Mk II Droid Brain supplements the Otomatic's Aerial Warfare capabilities
• The presence of an on-board dedicated Gunner allows the Otomatic to continue to function in the aftermath of an EMP-blast, albeit at a reduced accuracy
• The pressurized nature of the Otomatic's main body allows it to provide an additional layer of security to its crew, while also allowing it to participate in space in case of unconventional conflicts.

STRENGTHS

• Extreme Accuracy: With the combined usage of Its radar and Infrared targeting systems, The Otomatic is able to snipe any flying object or craft right out of the sky.
• Extreme oomph: whenever and wherever the Otomatic's shots land, they have serious impact, capable of taking out an entire squad of infantry or a tank with just a couple of hits.

WEAKNESSES

• Weak Defenses: If a tank manages to get a shot off at the Otomatic, or if an infantry squad with a dedicated anti-tank weapon manages to sneak up on it, the Otomatic has almost no hope of surviving, and the on-board ammunition means that the lives of the crew as well as any on-board passengers are forfeit as well.
• Air-focused: Even as the Otomatic is capable of wiping out any aircraft and clearing up the skies for friendly aerial vehicles, if the Otomatic is forced to turn its weapons to the ground it suffers as a result of having only a third of its aerial range, and requires manual targeting.

DESCRIPTION
The OTOMATIC is a radar-equipped SPAAG that is capable of shooting proximity fused frag rounds and can destroy aircraft even in a single, well-aimed shot. Shooting down aircraft should be the primary use of this vehicle, although it can also be used to defend points against enemy tanks, while still dealing with aircraft.

Good looking submission - totally dig the art for it.

However, there's a discrepancy with the armaments listed. You have the Otomatic's armament rating listed as Extreme despite the HP2 Heavy Turbolaser bearing a Very High stopping power rating.

I am cool with passing this AA tank if you can do one of the following, or come up with your own compromise:

• Limit the heavy turbolasers' fire arc to be upwards. Use them almost exclusively for anti-air fighting and add some lighter weaponry for anti-personnel defenses. If you chose this one, I will allow the Extreme rating to remain.
• Drop the armament rating to Very High. If you feel this severely hampers the idea you had in mind for this tank, you are still very welcome to add some more weapons for anti-personnel uses.

Let me know when your edits or done, or feel free to offer an alternative to the above. Thank you!

Hi! Ireally needed the capability to target ground-based opponents as well, so i dropped the armament to very high. Thank you for your time and suggestions!
