Description
The Saracen Mk II HVC is a thirty-second century updated version of Scarborough Ltd's old 3rd Succession War design by same name. Produced in 3137 alongside the company’s other hovertank designs, the new Mk II version of the tank became highly popular among Draconis Combine's forces, initially with the Ryuken Regiments. The tank along with its other famous trio of tanks, became a staple unit of many of the DCMS's vehicle formations. The Saracen Mk II would see significant action in the Combine's initial campaign in the heavily contested Draconis Reach region.[4]
Weapons and Equipment
Powered by a 175-Rated Omni Fusion Engine, the power plant would allow Saracen Mk II allow the vehicle go 33 kph faster than the original design. The Tank's armor though only ton less than its predecessor's 7 tons of armor, but makes up with superior protection by using Heavy Ferro-Fibrous instead of the standard armor.
The tank's main battery is a single Doombud 7-Tube Multi-Missile Launcher, which is mounted in the turret. While not having laden with number of missile launchers, the flexible Doombud's 2 tons of ammunition makes for difference with heavy throwing power in short and long ranges. Backing up the launcher is a pair of Diverse Optics Extended-Range Medium Lasers, also found in the turret. Giving the tank a reliable and prolonged source of firepower to allow it remain combat effective should its ammo bins run try during combat.[5]
Variants
- Saracen Mk II (BC3)
- Introduced in 3138 by request of DCMS, the BC3 variant is a network version of the standard model. Not as heavily armed as the standard model, the advanced tech variant is armed with 5-tubed Multi-Missile Launcher instead of the 7. Also to make room for the Boosted C3 Slave Unit, engineers would have to drop one of the tank's ER Medium Lasers. BV(2.0)=635[6][7][8]
