Description[edit]
The Axel Mk 1 heavy tank is based on the popular Rommel design, but uses an internal combustion engine. To make room for the engine, the tank is only protected by ten and a half tons of armor. The internal combustion engine also reduces the top speed of the tank to 54 km/h. The tank was produced by engineers working for the Free Rasalhague Republic.[3] Despite the lighter armor and lower top speed, the Axel family was widely used by the Free Rasalhague Republic.
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Axel Mk 1 retains the heavy hitting AC/20 of the Rommel, and upgrades the LRM system to a ten tube launcher. A Machine Gun mounted in the bow of the tank allows the driver to engage infantry units, while a second machine gun is added to the turret. The LRM has two tons of ammunition available, while the autocannon has four tons of ammo. A half ton of machine gun ammunition is provided.
Variants[edit]
- Axel Mk 2
- Developed in parallel with the Axel Mk 1, the Axel Mk 2 removes a half-ton of armor and one ton of LRM ammunition to make room for a Vehicle Flamer. It has the same performance and protection as the Axel Mk 1. BV (2.0) = 902[4]
- Axel IIC (Standard)
- Created during the Jihad,[5] this version of the Axel uses a fusion engine to reach a top speed of 64 km/h. The weaponry has been completely replaced with Clan equipment. The weapons include an AP Gauss Rifle, Large Pulse Laser, and two LRM-15 missile launchers equipped with Artemis IV fire control systems. The tank is protected by an ECM Suite, CASE and eleven and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor. BV (2.0) = 1,612[6]
- Axel IIC (XL)
- Also introduced during the Jihad,[7] this version of the Axel uses an XL fusion engine to reach a top speed of 84 km/h. Like the standard Axel IIC, the tank is protected by an ECM Suite, CASE and eleven and a half tons of ferro-fibrous armor. The weapons include an AP Gauss Rifle, ER Large Laser, and two LRM-15 missile launchers equipped with Artemis IV fire control systems. It also carries an advanced Targeting Computer. BV (2.0) = 2,003[8]
