Overview:
The Compacto is a massive leap forward in the field of self-proppeled artillery. Introduced
as the war of 3039 was slowly dying down the vehicle would see it's first combat during
occasional raids across Kuritan border. The massive firepower of the Long Tom artillery
piece that can be easily transported and allows for short independent operations provided
the raiding parties massive firepower boost if used properly. Later after clan invasion the
Falcons especially took the existence of compactos as personal affront and took to hunting
them with vicious fanaticism to the point that more experienced Lyran units would start to
use them as a sure bait to set up ambushes.
Capabilities:
The Compacto chassis is a low-slung craddle mounting the massive gun barrel with an
automatic loading mechanism housing 30 shots and a port that allows for seemless cupling
with most standardised ammo carriers like the J-27. Entire vehicle has to be moved to aim
the gun in the general direction of the target as the traverse of the gun is rather limited,
but thanks to the fusion engine the Compactos can appear almost anywhere where it's wheeled
chassis allows it to go. While not exactly fast in terrain it can still reach respectable 54
km/h, which is enough to keep up with assault elements and can match typical heavy
formations while on the road. The greatest asset of the Compacto however is it's size, which
might make some maintenance difficult, but allows the vehicle to be crammed in a light
vehicle drop ship bays. Not only it prevents the entire artillery system taking up precious
space on the transports, but it allows the invading forces to have artillery support
immediately upon landing.
