================================================================================================
Overview:
The Buzzsaw was designed by Bulldog Enterprises in 2845 as a slightly lighter cousin to the
popular Bulldog Medium Tank-built around a GM 250 fusion engine versus the traditional ICE
that its larger cousin was built on the design saw modest sales and was popular with a
number of richer mercenary commands.
While tough and reliable and equipped with 13 tons of standard armor plating giving it ample
protection and a modest speed of 64kph, it was highly criticized by its detractors for the
use of an Armstrong A/C 5, though later variants would attempt to address these complaints.
Nevertheless should one find themselves in need of a tough, relatively cheap fusion-powered
tank, the Warsaw is more than capable of fulfilling this role.
Capabilities:
The Buzzsaw is armed with an A/C 5 with one ton of ammunition mounted in the turret-while,
not the most capable weapon, its wide availability makes procuring additional ammo and parts
relatively easy during extended campaigns. It also mounts two Diverse Optics Medium
Lasers-one the turret with the tank, and one in the hull facing forward.
Variants:
PPC: This Variant Strips out the AC/5 for a PPC, heat sinks, and armor.
