| Designer Notes |
| The Strike Cheetah first appeared during the War of the Alliance and quickly became one of the most successful Cheetah variants in that chassis' short history. The Cheetah scout Gear was upgraded to a combat model by adding heavier armor and weaponry, turning it into a light tank hunter. Engine performance was boosted by 8.6%, making the Strike able to carry additional equipment and armor while maintaining the same speed. The armor was upgraded with the addition of a thick armor vest; a Strike Cheetah can withstand a frontal attack with a 25mm HEAT round with virtually no damage. The Strike Cheetah was also equipped with parachute hardpoints, modified shock-absorbers and deployable air brakes for airdrop assaults, giving it a range of mission profiles greater than the Cheetah Fang pure anti-armor variant. During the War, Strike Cheetahs were often dropped in teams behind enemy lines to attack fortified installations with speed and accuracy. |
