artillery_unit_by_azarimy.jpg


Affiliation: The Mandalorian Clans and the Rebellion through the Mandalorian Underground , Other Groups through Donomel Heavy Manufacturing

Ownership: N/A

Intent: This is primarily made for use as a heavy ground platform by the Mandalorian Clans and the Rebellion, with a secondary intent being to sell as a source of income

Model: Mobile A.V.C 001 (Anti-Vehicle Cannon)

Size: Compressed: 2 Meters Tall, 1 Meter Wide, 1 Meter Long
Extended: 3 Meters Tall, 2 Meters Wide, 5 Meters Long

Weight: 2,857kg

Armor Rating: Resistant to small arms fire from both ballistic projectiles and laser weapons. Partially resistant to laser cannons. Slightly resistant to larger ballistic weaponry. Vulnerable to heavy laser cannons.

Shield Rating: A Ray Shield capable of defending against small arms up to light blaster cannons.

Propulsion: A small fusion reactor housed in the base of the vehicle powers a small repulsorlift, as well as thrusters placed around the base of the cannon, allowing a crew to maneuver it into a position. Its also possible for a vehicle to tow it into position using a small tether.

Armament/Equipment: 1x Custom Laser Cannon , Capable of destroying light armor easily, destroying medium armor in several shots, and destroying heavy armor under continuous fire.

1x Custom Ray Shield

1x Linked Targeting Computer , Targeting computer capable of linking with other A.V.Cs as well as sensor platforms.

4x Stabilizing Legs , Capable of absorbing the recoil from the main cannon.

Description: One of the first creations of Donomel heavy manufacturing, the shell company operated by the Mandalorian Underground, the Mobile A.V.C is designed to fill a gap in ground forces for mobile Anti-Vehicle weaponry. The A.V.C is usable with a crew of three, one gunner, one spotter, and one crew member for monitoring the weapon's status. The gun can be quickly deployed, it's support legs being folded in while not in use, and it's entire profile being reduced. One member of the crew pushes it on it's repulsorlift into the field, where it's legs can deploy within 10 seconds. The gun barrel will extend and raise, and the gun becomes operational withing 20 seconds total with a trained crew, it's ray shield activating automatically when deployed. The legs absorb the recoil from the powerful cannon. The weapon itself can bust light armor (Such as AT-ST armor) with ease, and medium armor (Such as found on a Centurion Tank) within a few shots. Heavy armor (Like Juggernaught Armor) would require multiple units or a sustained barrage to be effective. This weapon is not effective on armor stronger than Juggernaught armor. The integrated gas reserves allow for 75 shots before requiring a refill, it's power generator creating the energy needed. It has an aproximate rate of fire of six shots a minute from a trained crew, accounting for the time needed to retarget the enemy vehicle, acquire new targets, and any overheating of the gun itself.

2 tons heavy ground platform? that's more like a medium platform. it in between 6 pounder and 17 pounder but far under the true heavy guns like the QF 3.7 inch AA gun witch would one shot a tank if the brits ever went the german rout of using AAA in the ground support role.

Hmm. I'll add like .5 or .75 to account for the heavier firepower

You should include the approximate rate of fire per minute or so and the amount of time it takes to reload with a typical trained crew in the
description, I think, because you might have to do it later otherwise. I had to with my anti-starfighter artillery gun, so just a head's up there, though Clayton might have a different policy from Jiang.

As just a quick suggestion, I'd also go with a ray shield over a particle shield simply because most of the vehicles it will be facing are equipped with laser cannons first and missiles/regular shells second and the vast majority of infantry threatening to harm it will be equipped with blasters rather than slugthrowers and your gunners can't really fire if they have to hide behind its armor to avoid getting shot. Of course this would leave it a fair bit more vulnerable to smaller missiles but hopefully you wouldn't let a large, dedicated infantry platoon get that close to your gun with enough anti-tank/vehicle firepower to penetrate its ballistic armor (which you might be able to boost up a bit having a ray shield protecting it from typical laser attacks) and knock it out to begin with. And if they do, well, at least they hit it with enough ballistic force to render it useless if they manage to overrun the position and try to turn it on you and wasted some of their limited supply of missiles on a stationary target rather than any of your vehicles.

Got it. As per suggested, I switched the shield types and added its fire rate of one shot every ten seconds. I also upped the ammo since 45 felt too low.

Just wondering if there is anything else I need to change here.

Ok, so, being able to be pushed by a crew member isn't really, um...possible. Repulsorlifts don't do anything about weight, they just lift stuff. (unless you get into really big and ridiculous examples). It'd have the same basic effect as a single dude trying to push a 2-ton hovercraft.

"it's particle shield activating automatically when deployed."

You mean ray shield, right? This definitely isn't going to have two shields.

I thought repulsors did help with weight? I mean, we have an example of it being used miniaturized in backpacks to assist in carrying them. Although this might just be me misremembering something. No problem if so, I can add some maneuvering thrusters in a pinch.

Yeah, no. That just didn't get converted when I changed the shield types. I'll edit it now.

Yeah, some sort of propulsion system would be useful, though with something like this it might just be better off towed to a position by a vehicle.

And thanks for clarifying on the shield. I just want to say though, with something this size, that shield wouldn't stand up to more than a couple hits from a light laser cannon.

I'll add both, so it's versatile.

That's no problem. Its mostly to protect the operators.
