================================================================================================
Overview:
An... Interesting attempt to enter the market of heavy-strike vehicles by the infamous
Quikshel Corporation, the Hetzer II is a larger 6x6 version of their classic heavy
autocannon carrier that is fitted with a massive Heavy Gauss Rifle rather than an
autocannon. A small limited traverse turret on the front of the vehicle also contains a pair
of extended range medium lasers as secondary weapons. While the machine boasts most of the
features of a heavy-strike vehicle, such as full environmental protection and heavy
penetration resistant armor, the massive capacitors that feed its primary weapon have no
blowout panels or other detonation-reduction features, and of course Quikshel's
characteristic complete lack of quality control combine to keep the machine's reputation
poor-and its substandard electronics systems do this no favors either. On the other hand the
design is highly rugged and designed to be easily fixed, and the four-ton ammunition bin is
built on a pop-out cartridge that allows it to be reloaded extremely quickly-at least, as
long as the extendable rails are straight and not accidentally welded together and the hatch
isn't welded shut or stuck.
Capabilities:
The Hetzer II has the Rugged II, Fast Reload, and Easy to Maintain Design Quirks. It also
possesses the Poor Worksmanship, Bad Reputation, Poor Communications, and Poor Targeting
(Medium, Long) Design Quirks.
