Designer Notes
The Water Dragon has been developed as a specialized version of the Fire Dragon capable of operating in the wetlands common to the Southern hemisphere. It must not be confused with the modified Fire Dragons which are used for crowd control duties: those are often nicknamed Water Dragons because of their water cannons. This Water Dragon is much more dangerous, and in some ways it surpasses even the orignal design. It certainly boasts mroe offensive firepower, and while it has lost some of its mobility through the removal of the tread system, it has gained other abilities. The cockpit area has been completely redesigned to become water-proof, and a life support system is housed in the space formerly occupied by the anti-missile system's ammunition bin. This, coupled with modifications to the strider's hull, make the entire vehicle completely water-proof up to a depth of a few dozen meters.
