Designer Notes
The original Hunter Zerstorer was developed at the beginning of St. Vincent's War as the first tank-hunting variant of the Desert Hunter. It achieved near-legendary status during the war, responsible for a frightening proportion of kills during assaults on Southern cavalry units. The Zerstorer continued to serve with distinction until the TN 1780s when the Hunter Commando and Hunter Commando EW were introduced as paratrooper Gears capable of tank-hunting. While the Commando has always been expensive to produce, leaving the Zerstorer as the main ground assault Hunter, the Commando attracted more prestige. As other Gear models brought even more firepower to bear, the Zerstorer became less and less impressive, even with the standard Hunter Mk II upgrade of the TN 1850s. The model, however, was given a new lease on life during the War of the Alliance.
