I was looking through pics from the old Cyberpunk roleplaying game I used to love playing, when I found a pic of a tank that just SCREAMED "put me in Battletech right now!" In a loud Russian accent... :thumbsup:
I introduce you to the KV-2000 "Bert".... a post-Jihad Capellan Confed heavy tank design meant as a new stop - gap mech killer for emplaced defense forces, hopefully freeing up more tactically flexible mech units for offensive duties. Its aggressive and not at all subtle.... and while no cheaper to make than a decent Heavy mech, it is technically much easier to produce a tank in existing heavy mover factories, and can be built in large numbers without the conspicuous tracking common in mech production, allowing their true numbers to be obfuscated.
