Description
The Svantovit Infantry Fighting Vehicle is designed for use with second-line units to deliver a Point of Elementals to the battlefield. Since BattleMechs do not have handholds for battle armor like OmniMechs do, the Svantovit was modified from its original form to be able to carry five tons of cargo, enough for a full Elemental Point. This Svantovit is a swift hovercraft, capable of attaining speeds up to 162 km/h. The drawback of the compact combat vehicle is that it is only protected by three tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, so it must use its speed to avoid being hit.
Armament
In addition to carrying infantry, the Svantovit is designed to support those same troops. At long range it can contribute fire in the form of paired Type V "Longbow" LRM-5s, which can also be fired indirectly. Twin Pattern J2 Streak SRM-2s are mounted in a turret that gives them a full 360 degree field of fire, while the sides are protected from infantry by a Series IX Machine Gun on each side.
Variants
- Streak - The original Svantovit was designed to carry a platoon of unarmored infantry, so it only has three tons of cargo space. The extra mass is devoted to upgrading the missile launchers to twin Streak SRM-4s. BV (1.0) = 737[1]
