Description[edit]
The Kinnol main battle tank is a frontline combat unit that served the Republic of the Sphere's RAF since 3083. The tank was produced by Aldis Industries as part of the 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 conducted a number of secret combat trials prior to its production being approved in 3083. The Republic deployed a lance of the vehicles to various pirate-ridden worlds such as Astrokaszy. The Kinnol lance was credited with demolishing a mixed company of 'Mechs and tanks. These trials were deemed a success, as the Kinnol lance only lost one of its vehicles.[1]
The Republic had the vehicle designed with an expensive XL fusion engine, to allow the vehicle enough speed to outmaneuver its enemies. Also, the vehicle is protected by twelve tons of ferro-fibrous armor, with a higher amount of armor allotted to its front.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Kinnol's main weapon is its turreted-mounted Mydron Excel LB 10-X autocannon, which uses mixed ammunition loads allowing it flexibility between hitting power and accuracy. An extended-range medium laser is coaxial to the autocannon as a complementary weapon.[1]
The vehicle has a pair of Doombud 5-tubed multi-missile launchers mounted in the front with three tons of ammunition. The vehicle's ammunition bay has been equipped with a CASE system.[1]
Variants[edit]
- PPC
- By 3085, the proposal for second variant had been drafted and was introduced in 3086.[4] The new variant would retain the MML-5s but drop the LB 10-X for a standard PPC. Also, the ER laser would be changed out for a standard medium laser, but with a C3 slave computer installed to help improve the vehicle's weapons accuracy. The vehicle would be fitted with 3 machine guns to enhance its anti-infantry ability.[1] BV (2.0) = 1,212[5][4]
- RAC
- This Dark Age variant developed in 3122,[6] carries a rotary AC/5 and keeps the MML-5s of the original. The armor has been replaced with reactive armor. BV (2.0) = 1,671[7][6]
