Description
The Kinnol Main Battle Tank is a frontline combat unit that served Republic of the Sphere's RAF since 3083. The tank was produced by Aldis Industries as part of Republic's attempt to create a standard armor unit for its armed forces. The vehicle was named for General Nicolas Kinnol, the third commanding officer of the Star League Defense Force.[3]
The Kinnol had conducted number of secret combat trials prior to its production being approved in 3083. The Republic had deployed a lance's worth the vehicles to various pirate-ridden worlds such as Astrokaszy. The Kinnol lance was credited in demolishing a mixed company of 'Mech and tanks. These trials were deemed a success, as the Kinnol lance only lost one of its vehicles.
The Republic had the vehicle designed with expensive XL Fusion Engine, to allow vehicle enough to speed to out-maneuver its enemies. Also, the vehicle is protected by twelve tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, with it higher amount of armor allotted to its front.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
Kinnol's main weapon is its turreted mounted Mydron Exel LB 10-X Autocannon, which mix weapons loads allows it flexibility of hitting power and accuracy. An Extended Range Medium Laser is coaxial to the Autocannon as complimentary weapon.
The vehicle has pair of 5-tubed Multi-Missile Launchers mounted in front of the vehicle with three tons of ammunition. The vehicle's ammunition bay has been equipped with a CASE system.[5]
Variants
- PPC / C3 Slave
- By 3085, the proposal for second variant had been drafted. The new variant would drop the LB 10-X for a standard PPC. Also, the ER Laser would be changed out for a standard Medium Laser, but a C3 Slave Computer installed to help improve vehicle's weapons accuracy. The vehicle would be fitted with 3 Machine Guns to enhance its anti-infantry ability.[6] BV(2.0)= 1,212[7]
- RAC
- This Dark Age variant carries a Rotary AC/5 and keeps the MML-5's of the original. The armor has been replaced with Reactive Armor. BV (2.0) = 1,671[8]
