Designer Notes
One of the great advantages of the hovertanks employed by the Colonial Expeditionary Force during their failed invasion of Terra Nova was the vehicles's great speed, which allowed them to zero in on lumbering heavy artillery positions long before these batteries could use their deadly firepower. Mobile artillery became a critical necessity during the war and Territorial Arms designed the Support Cobra to answer just this need. Able to maintain the typical mobility of the Spitting Cobra, the Support proved to be a very efficient solution because it could move between shots regardless of the battlefield conditions. The usual armament of the Spitting Cobra was replaced by one more suited to long range support. The Gear's main firepower comes from a backpack-mounted LTV-28 56mm field gun, a weapon with both a high adaptability and a powerful punch for its reduced size. A drum-fed, arm-mounted 45mm Junglemower-10 heavy autocannon has proven to be highly effective against both armored units and enemy infantry, and the Spit's torso-mounted, rapid-firing MGU-77 minigun was left in place for point defense.
