| Designer Notes |
| The Vandal is the proverbial "big gun" unit. Designed to provide heavy tactical artillery support, it is based on the chassis of the Visigoth main battle tank. Both vehicles share the same engine and drive train, allowing for simplified maintenance in the field. The driver is seated forward in the hull while the system operator sits in the rear, just under and forward of the missile launcher. The turret has been removed an dreplaced by twin launching rails for Hellbringer tactical artillery missiles. The twin hypervelocity missiles are carried externally, which makes them somewhat vulnerable to enemy fire. This is usually not a problem because the Vandal operates far form the action. The Vandal is usually found parked at the extreme limit of the combat zone, its crew ever attentive to requests from the forward observers. The Vandal is currently only found in the ranks of the Southern Republican Army. Other Southern leagues consider it too inefficient for the cost and too limited because of its ammunition load. Many argue that the tactical advantage afforded by the incredible acceleration of the missile (and thus its short flight time and reduced vulnerability to enemy defensive fire) is not worth the increased cost. |
