"The HT-68 is soon to be the new mainstay of the Aumanii armoured divisions, the HT-68 is a tank chassis mounted on two powerful electrically driven turbofans similar to those used in VTOL capable jets. Brief bursts from the engines allow it to jump over obstacles it cannot cross using air-cushion ground effect alone. This gives unprecedented mobility over all types of terrain, a definite plus for any force. The hovertank is designed to exploit the weakness' in the enemy's defence at a moments notice.
Despite its imposing size, being slightly larger than a conventional main battle tank, the HT-68 is relatively light to save as much wear and tear as possible on the lift fans. It is built of ultra light alloys, ceramites and other costly space manufactured materials. The thrust generated by the vehicles turbofans are channeled articulated nozzles placed around the hull of the tank, making it more maneuverable than standard ground-effect vehicles.
The Turret mounted Particle Accelerator is the main armament and is used for engaging most enemy armour. Guided missile racks are reserved for engaging more heavily armoured targets and other hardened targets designated by forward observers."

Thank god for Dream Pod 9, I couldn't have explained a hovertank any better. Go to www.dp9.com
