Description
The Kinnol Main Battle Tank was 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 worth the vehicles to various pirate ridden worlds such as of Astrokaszy. The Kinnol lance was credited in demolishing a mix company of 'Mech and Tanks. With only one being crippled, the trials proved successful.
The Republic had vehicle design with expensive XL Fusion Engine, to allow vehicle enough to speed to out-maneuver its enemies. Also, the vehicle is protected by 12 tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, with it higher amount of armor allotted to its front.[4]
Armament
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 3 tons of ammunition. The vehicle's ammunition bay has been equipped with CASE system.[5]
Variants
- PPC / C3 Slavet
- 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]
