================================================================================================
Overview:
    Developed in the midst of the Jihad out of a mix of necessity and convenient timing.
    Originally requested as a well armed and heavily armored frontline solution for spearheads,
    the DLK-2 "Deadlock" was developed in a pair of two variants from the very start. First
    being the DLK-2-LCT "Deadlock Lacerator" and second being the DLK-2-PRF "Deadlock
    Perforator", both of which were built around the Task Force Talon's newly 'acquired' clan
    weapon; the Hyper-Assault Gauss weapons.
    
    While either unit was granted a light or Extralight fussion engine due to the excessive
    costs of such, both vehicles carrying a C3 Slave with which to compensate; the idea being
    that if only one unit got into short range of a target, all units would be allowed to
    effectively engage regardless of their own distance. With that ideology in mind, the
    Lacerator was made into a dedicated spearhead unit given a HAF20 while the Perforated was
    given a smaller engine so as to be equipped with a far heavier HAG40.
    
    The resulting pair of tanks was deceptively simple. While their reliance on only a single
    weapon seemed initially unimpressive, the devastating nature of the new HAG technology more
    than proved its worth in combat as unsuspecting enemies were subjected to a storm of metal,
    shredding even the heaviest units with alarming speed. Worse yet for TFT's targets, both the
    DLK-2-LCT and the DLK-2-PRF had achieved their goals of being affordable designs, allowing
    Task Force Talon to field them in alarming numbers.

Capabilities:
    The DLK-2 "Deadlock" and its two variants, the -LCT "Lacerator" and -PRF "Perforator" are
    simple, easy to use and no less deadly because of it. Equipped with C3 modules and ECM for
    counter-jamming, the Lacerator's heavy armor allows it to close the distance and soak up as
    much damage as it deals out while the Pefrorator is best used as a sniper, maximizing its
    chances to hit through the C3 network and tearing through even the heaviest of armor from
    impressive range.

Deployment:
    The DLK-2 "Deadlock" is designed so that each variant can operate as much by itself as it
    can with each other. While being part of a C3 network is optimal, it is not outright
    necessary for either variant to effectively engage targets. The Lacerator can operate as a
    frontline juggernaut in any scenario and in much the same way, the Perforator can be as much
    of a long range threat regardless of the allied units it operates with.
    
    The downside of this consistency is that it works both ways; connecting the units to a C3
    Network will certainly help but it won't be a game-changer. Due to the HAG's modifiers to
    cluster hits staying unaffected from C3, both tanks' slow speeds and the lack of secondary
    supporting weapons, both the DLK-2-LCT "Deadlock Lacerator" and the  DLK-2-PRF "Deadlock
    Perforator" lack a great amount of versatility and can thus only be used in the few ways
    that their main weapon allows them.

Variants:
    The DLK-2 "Deadlock" has two variants, the DLK-2-LCT "Deadlock Lacerator" and the  DLK-2-PRF
    "Deadlock Perforator", both of which have been described above.
