================================================================================================
Overview:
    The HDS-3E was designed as the primary sniper variant of the Hardshot II, being exclusively
    produced by Defiance Industries on Furillo and first rolled out early into the Jihad. It
    built off energy variants of the earlier Hardshot, and is a much simpler design with much
    less moving parts.

Capabilities:
    The primary weapons of the Hardshot II 3E are two Heavy PPCs twin-linked onto the main
    turret mount, and indeed are the only weapons of the tank capable of engaging armor. The
    only other weapon was a turret-mounted Machine Gun, much in the same style as the original
    Hardshot but with only a half ton of ammunition, used to deter attempts to attack the combat
    vehicle on foot.
