[QUOTE="kronos182, post: 7512218, member: 6668634"] VA Tankette An interesting concept that VA discovered was the tankette, a small 1 or 2 person mini tank, roughly the size of a car, used mainly as light infantry support and reconnaissance unit. While the original concept was abandoned due to their vulnerability to light anti tank weapons and limited utility, VA felt they could improve upon the design with more advanced technologies, producing a few different versions of the tankette design. VATKm1 The VATKm1 is the first model of tankettes released by VA, keeping the design simple and following the original concept, closely resembling the Carden Loyd tankette mk VI, with sloped front, tracked locomotion, light armour, but instead mounts a low profile armoured turret that houses a heavy rail machine gun and a grenade launcher. The interior is cramped, with the driver laying on their stomach, and the gunner in a cramped seat, partly in the turret, and partly in the main body. To aid in the recon role, the VATKm1 has long range communications, several video and audio recorders and a potent flex fuel engine to allow it to move about quickly, and run on virtually any flammable liquid, with a range of 200 miles on a full tank. While significantly better armoured than the original Carden Loyd tankette mk VI, the VATKm1 isn't VA's best seller, but does well with mercenaries and poor militaries looking for something to aid their infantry or a cheap scout unit. The VATKm1 is 2 squares long (8 ft 1 in), 1.5 squares wide (6 ft 6 in), and 4 ft tall. The crew enters through a hatch on the top of the turret and have full cover. The turret can spin complete 360 degrees, and the railgun and grenade launcher can raise 50 degrees, lower 30 degrees. VATKm1 (PL6) Crew: 2 Passengers: 0 Cargo: 30 lbs Init: -2 Maneuver: -2 Top Speed:105 (11) Defense: 9 Hardness: 15 Hit Points: 30 Size: Large Purchase DC: 30 Restriction: Mil (+3) Accessories: Long range military radio, GPS, satellite radio, external parabolic mic, thermal/IR cameras, dark vision for gunner and driver 100 ft, 40mm grenade launcher (20 grenades, up to 3 types can be carried), rail machine gun (2000 rds), first aid kit, 2 smoke grenade launchers (6 smoke grenades, can launch up to 50 ft or release smoke around the vehicle). Notes: Off-road design (half penalties for rough terrain), flex fuel engine (run on any flammable liquid). Rail Machine Gun This is a heavier version of the standard rail gun with full automatic capability mounted in the Tankette's turret. 4d12, 20x2, ballistic, 120 ft, s, a, 2000 rounds linked. [/QUOTE]
