==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Oro Heavy Tank''' is a [[combat vehicle]] that was designed specifically to destroy other conventional vehicles, as well as aircraft. It has a modest top speed of 65 km/h, and only five and a half tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor. The present configuration was the result of an upgrade by [[Clan Steel Viper]] to specifically counter the [[aerospace fighter]]s of [[Clan Snow Raven]]. The Ravens liked the new design so much they decided to use them to train their fighter pilots to avoid ground batteries.

==Weapons and Equipment==

==Armament==
A respectable, and accurate, punch from long range comes from the [[Kolibri Delta Series (LPL)|Kolibri Delta Series]] [[Large Pulse Laser]] mounted in the Oro's turret. It is supplemented by a [[Series 2d]] [[ER Medium Laser]] that is in the front of the vehicle. These two weapons combine to give the Oro a decent amount of firepower at medium range. It is at close range that the Oro truly excels, however, thanks to its turret-mounted [[Type J]] [[LB-X Autocannon/20]]. The large-bore autocannon is capable of both shredding armor with slug rounds and using its cluster munitions to pummel a target. It is truly the cluster shot that allows the Oro to succeed in its niche, as it can damage tires, treads, and fans; in addition to acting as flak to take down airborne targets.

*;HAG : This variant was introduced during the [[Jihad]] era, which makes use of the new Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifles technology that came out during the beginning of that era.  All weapons save the Large Pulse Laser are removed. They been replaced by a single [[HAG 30|Class 30 Hyper-Assault Gauss Rifle]] with 16 rounds of ammunition. Armor protection of the vehicle has also been doubled from its baseline model.
