Description
The Şoarece was an experimental Super Heavy Combat Vehicle which was produced for the Free Worlds League in the early decades of the Third Succession War. The design was commissioned by then Captain-General Philippa Marik in 2881, it was envisioned as a low-cost but highly survival design that could combat BattleMechs and fill the League's thinning defensive lines. It would be two decades until the final design would be revealed in 2904, where numerous redesigns made it into a mammoth of a tank. The Şoarece would enter limited production, the Keystone factory would only produce a 100 units prior to Shiro III being conquered by the League. With the capture of Ontos Heavy Tank's factory, the need for the slow and ponderous Şoarece dropped few years later.[2]
Armament & Capacities
Designed originally as a heavy-hitting armored vehicle, the Şoarece sports three classes of Autocannon for its principal firepower. All three autocannons are mounted in the turret. The Smoothie-2 Light Autocannon serves as anti-aircraft; with other larger Class 10 & 20 Autocannons serving as the tank's offensive punch. All three cannons have generous amounts of ammunition, which allows the tank to stay active on the field in a prolonged fight. It also has a front-mounted Machine Gun to serve as its principal anti-infantry weapon.
For economic reasons, the tank's power plant is a 350 Rated Fuel Cell engine, which propels the mammoth weighted tank at maximum of 30 kph. Slow weight is practically due to the vehicle's hull being protected by 40.5 tons of Standard armor.[3]
Variants
- Soarecar - Early prototype of the Şoarece, this vehicle had heavy armor but only pair of Class 5 autocannons as it only weapons. The Soarecar would be judged underarmed for the LCCC and would herald development of the tank for two more decades resulting in 175 ton Şoarece.
Design Notes
The Şoarece features following Design Quirks: Obsolete/2915, Difficult to Maintain, Non-Standard Parts, Poor Performance, and Accurate Weapon (AC/2).
Notes
As of this time, Record Sheet for this vehicle maybe only found in XTRO: Succession Wars, Volume 1. The prototype Soarecar only has limited stat information available.
