Design Challenge: Amphibious Landing Hovercraft
« on: 27 March 2018, 23:48:51 »
Since hovercraft can travel over water, it makes sense to reach for them first when you're making an amphibious assault on a hardened position.

But are they well-armed for that purpose? I'm not so sure. Loading up SRM launchers with Inferno rounds could help with clearing infantry pillboxes, but you need something to crack hardened positions.

If you're going for a Normandy Invasion-style scenario, something that can keep pace with various forms of Hover APC would be appreciated, if only so the infantry doesn't accidentally outrun their armored support. :o

I would like three submissions

1. Introtech base.

2. Star League-tech upgrade of 1.

3. Later stuff, once the IS starts cranking out new tech (RACs, MMLs, Heavy and Light PPCs...)
