Description[edit]
The Regulator hovertank was the result of the Capellan Confederation refining its surviving industries to produce better combat vehicles after the Fourth Succession War and the revival of Star League technology from the Helm Memory Core.[5][1]
The Regulator has been given 6 tons of ferro-fibrous armor, which are concentrated heavily on the front and turret. Consequently, other areas of the tank are thinner, leaving it vulnerable to heavy damage from the sides and rear. The General Motors 170 fusion engine gives it considerable speed and agility, however, making up somewhat for the thin protection on the flanks.[5][1]
The Tank first saw action in 3057, during Operation GUERRERO. Its involvement in actions on Tsingtao brought to light the tank's offensive abilities when a lance of the tanks destroyed three AFFC 'Mechs.[5][1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The vehicle's only weapon, an Inokuma Gauss rifle, is mounted in the turret. The gun is supplied with two tons of ammunition.[5][1]
Variants[edit]
- Regulator Hover Tank (Arrow IV)
- Created in 3064[6], Liao engineers removed the Regulator's Gauss rifle for an Di Yu Huo (Hellfire) Arrow IV System. The engineers reduced the tank's armor protection to fit the new weapon and its 15 rounds of ammunition. Note: This variant uses Advanced Rules and is not legal for use in tournament play. BV (1.0) = 939[7], BV (2.0) = 1,016[8][6]
- Regulator Hover Tank (RAC)
- This variant is a field refit that first appeared during George Hasek's War in 3068[9]. It replaces the Gauss rifle and its ammunition with a Rotary AC/5 linked to a targeting computer salvaged from Davion wrecks. Among the Capellan forces, this variant's deadly accuracy has become legend. Due in part of rarity of salvage to put such a refit together, the vehicle's four tons of ammunition is protected by CASE. BV (1.0) = 1,009[10], BV (2.0) = 1,282[11][9]
- Regulator II (Standard)
- This version introduced in 3076[12] weighs five tons more than the standard version. It uses an XL engine to drive the tank at 160 km/h. A single Gauss rifle is the only weapon on the tank. Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor protects the hull. BV (2.0) = 1,426[13][12] (This version shouldn't be confused with the Regulator II described in MechWarrior: Dark Age.)
- Regulator II (Stealth)
- This Capellan variant introduced in 3082[16], combines a light Gauss rifle with a stolen Targeting Computer to create a deadly sniper. To further increase its effectiveness, this variant uses a Guardian ECM Suite to power experimental Vehicular Stealth Armor[13]. BV (2.0) = 971[17][16]
Custom Variant[edit]
- Regulator Alan
- A unique variant introduced in 3077[18], this version of the Regulator uses a Silver Bullet Gauss rifle as its main gun. For protection it mounts experimental Vehicular Stealth Armor and a Guardian ECM Suite.[19] BV (2.0) = 896[20][18]
Notes[edit]
- In German products, the unit's proper name was altered to Kampfrichter, which translates to Referee.
