Self-propelled howitzer system mounted on a tracked chassis, the Crusader is a reliable field artillery system capable of providing valuable support fire against BETA swarms. ( MLA) A battery of Crusaders providing support. Several of them were deployed in the month-long campaign to defend the Japanese mainland, notably at Kyushu and later at the closing days of the siege of Kyoto. Type-99 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer Self-propelled howitzer system mounted on a tank chassis, used by the Imperial Army for artillery operations. Their powerful guns are the strongest weapons a land army can field, and without the artillery, casualty rates in any battle would be beyond crippling. T-80UM An upgraded version of the T-80, the T-80UM is a next-generation main battle tank used by the Soviets.Īrtillery is an aspect of delivering long-ranged firepower against an enemy force to soften it up for direct engagement with the invasion of the BETA in 1973, artillery has become an inseparable part of warfare, allowing humanity to even the numerical odds before having to engage the BETA up front.
It does not have a remote heavy machine gun. Main difference that the T-80 have between the T-72 and T-64 is that it uses a turbine engine giving it higher tactical mobility.
The modern main battle tank model of the Soviets, the T-80 is their primary frontline battle tank and often serves as support for TSF forces engaging the enemy. It has the same firepower as the T-64 but with a different autoloader and no remote heavy machine gun but a pintle mounted one instead on the commanders hatch. The T-72 was one of the most powerful main battle tank at the time of its introduction and served both East Germany and Soviet frontline forces. The T-72 was aimed to be a more economical and downgraded version of the T-64 while retaining the firepower of the T-64. T-72 A significant simplification of the T-64 using ideas from Obiekt 167, the T-72 was first known as the Obiekt 439 but then renamed it into Obiekt 172. Several versions of the T-64 was produced. The T-64 is equiped with a 125mm smootbore gun, a coaxial 7.62mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7mm remote controlled NSVT heavy machine gun on the commanders hatch which he could use to engage ground and aerial targets. T-64 The gateway unit to modern Soviet battle tanks, the T-64 was a continuation of the Obiekt 430 project and the T-64 was initially known as Obiekt 432 untill 1966. T-62M The result of a massive refurbishment of the T-62, the T-62M has improved armor, gun systems, engines, frame, a modern Volna fire control system, and the added capability to fire ATGMs through its gun.
Some T-62's have been seen to have a extra 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the commanders hatch as an attempt to increase firepower. It is equiped with a 115mm smoothbore gun, a coaxial 7.62mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the loaders hatch. T-62 Direct descendant of the T-55, the T-62 served as the main battle tank of the Soviets for many years througout the BETA war. It is equiped with a 100mm rifled cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and a 12.7mm heavy machine gun on the loaders hatch. Several were still deployed by the NVA of East Germany during the defence of their nation. Soviet Tanks T-54/T-55 Post World War II-era battle tank, the T-54/T-55 family was mostly obsolete by the time the BETA made landfall. Later, in 2004, the Type-90 saw use during the 8 th Border War when French-Canadian forces attempted to cross the border into Seattle. Little is known of the operational records of the MBT in the time period between 20. Now, with TSFs taking up the brunt of the fighting, most land warfare vehicles have taken a position at the rear, although this does not mean that they are obsolete in a new age of warfare rather, the support they provide for TSFs remain invaluable, and some vehicles are outright indispensable in a frantic combat situation. In the alternate worlds of Muv-Luv Unlimited/ Muv-Luv Alternative, Tactical Surface Fighters are only the tip of the spear of humanity's fighting force, with support vehicles, warships, aerial craft and aerospace vehicles augmenting the deadliness of TSFs on the field either directly or indirectly.īefore the rise of TSFs, land vehicles were the first to face the BETA in combat, usually suffering massive losses from having to cover the ultra-wide battle lines formed by BETA swarms, as well as dealing with BETA strains several times their size with no effective way to take them down or being overwhelmed by the ridiculous numbers of smaller strains.
