Line 22: ==Description== ==Description== − Patterned after an ancient tank from Terra's World Wars, the '''Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun''' was designed as a cheap, self-propelled artillery-piece to be stationed on worlds deemed worthy to defend, but not valuable enough to station a complete garrison force or even [[BattleMech]]s. Its primary and only weapon is in the front, meaning the unit lacks a turret, making it difficult to employ in roles other than defensive ones. Also, its wheeled chassis restricts its mobility. Due to its decent protection of six tons of [[standard armor]] and its [[Crusher SH Cannon]], combined with its low price, the Hetzer is still a valuable asset for poor commands and is especially popular throughout the [[Periphery]].+ The '''Hetzer''' was designed as a cheap, self-propelled artillery-piece to be stationed on worlds deemed worthy to defend, but not valuable enough to station a complete garrison force or even [[BattleMech]]s.
