Designer Notes
Facing hardened or dug-in targets is always a headache for the beleaguered field commander. The Tusked Naga, one of the standard factory variants evolved during the conception period of the Naga, provides the simplest answer -- you need more offensive punch. The Tusked Naga designers upgraded the Naga's regular Pilum VI anti-armor missiles to the much more powerful Matterhorn VII laser-guided missile system. Because of the weight and power requirements of the Matterhorn VII, the Tusked Naga carries four missiles only on its right shoulder hardpoint, the left being occupied by the Matterhorn search radar/ladar and fire control equipment. This makes the design somewhat top-heavy and unbalanced toward the right side, leading pilots to complain about its tendency to roll and lurch sideways during tight turns. The backblast of the missiles proved so strong during the first live-fire tests that the bracing plates and stabilizer system originall mounted on the vehicle had to be enlarged to ensure a safe launch period for both missile and firing unit. The final stabilizer shared some components with the similar system found on the Long Fang Naga, though it was never as efficient. The rugged hydraulics were found to be slow to release and retract, making the firing unit vulnerable to close assualt once it had launched its missiles and was trying to get back on its feet to move away.
