    Ability: Multitasker

    • additional requirement = Level 3 Gunnery
    (wasn't really worth a cost of 8XP)

    I realized this week that there is literally no "true" tank in the 35 ton category (conversely, there is a huge selection of 35 ton hover tanks). There is also a severe lack of treaded + turreted light tanks. I find this to be a glaring discrepancy on the part of the original designers. In an effort to give players more flexibility in unit choice, i introduce to you the Hobelar:

    CaptureHobelar.GIF
    Name inspired from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobelar

    It could be considered a "light" version of your classic main battle tank. It won't hold up well against heavier tanks such as the Patton, but it packs a lot of punch in a small package and has better protection than the hover tanks already available.


    On a somewhat related note, the Observer VTOL is the lightest (and cheapest) scout vtol available and now has unique art created by me:
    Capturevtol.GIF
    (it has been in megamek for sometime, but the default art was ugly)

    It is incredibly fragile, but an ideal dedicated spotter for indirect fire.

    If people get blown up, it won't be by my hand. ;) I also wanted another traditional light tank I could throw in large numbers at you guys besides just another Scorpion swarm. As befitting its upgraded status, though, you can expect to not run into Hobelar formations very often; the use of a fusion engine makes them rather expensive. They would most likely see deployment in areas with lots of rough terrain where wheeled or hover tanks can't go and Scorpions would be too slow.

    You can also thank the megamek devs for inspiring this one:

    fieldgunners.GIF
    Yep... that's THREE AC5s for less than 300 BV. By themselves, not terribly scary, but deployed en masse to a defensible location, they are devastating. (hint: artillery support works REALLY well against stationary or slow moving targets).

    well, at least they're infantry, so the shotguns should still clean them up well.

    one more i would like to point out:

    remember when i mentioned artillery?...
    fieldgunnersarty.GIF

    The important thing to note here is that you get TWO artillery pieces for the price of one unit. They can't move worth a damn, but that doesn't matter when you can blow the shit out of the enemy from anywhere on the map! For what should be obvious reasons, I am purposefully excluding Sniper and Long Tom artilleries from use with infantry. Also note that according to current rules, this artillery platoon can only be deployed if you get a +3 or higher on the Lance Event Leadership skillcheck. It is also tagged as an "advanced" unit (which further limits its use). Because of these limitations, it will still be relatively uncommon. No need to worry about massive batteries of artillery every mission.
