Overview:
A resurgence in weaponry demands a worthy platform to showcase it. The Bowshock
has been compared to an early-model Alacorn or up-gunned Zhukov, mounting three
LB 10-X autocannons and five tons of ammunition, creating a pure assault tank
that matches the Schrek in range and firepower, yet wears much more armour:
twelve tons of ferro-fibrous. Loading cluster shot makes it a killer of
vehicles and aircraft.
Where it falls down is the price. Its fuel-cell engine, while lightweight, is
not cheap, and neither are the still-rare autocannons. Combined with the
all-new chassis, it costs as much as a medium mech, and more than double that
of a Zhukov or Demolisher.
