new weapon used by Japanese States (rather interesting)

With the civil war rageing across the Islands of Japanese States and the nation split in 2 with no hope of a end to the war, The Fascist Regime had to look elce where for a new weapon. The answer was infact in front of them the whole time, it was so simple it would have eaten them (no really it would have). The Answer was the Japanese States Leopard, a rather large leopard and vary agressive cat and rather fast.
The Idea was to raise the Leopards from birth with the rider so that the cub would think that the rider was its mother, also with this the cubs would be rised with all the other cubs in its Divsion to evoid any fights between them. Aswell as this the cubs would be put into training so that the riders could ride them, but of corse this would not start till the cubs were about 1 to 1 and a half years old. Since the Leopard could carry something 3 times its body weight the idea of rideing one was not impossible the only problem was that the Leopard would have to be rather big and strong removeing some of its speed, but this didnt matter since all the riders would have to have a weight of under 170lbs (US adavage for 20-29yrs old is 168lbs for white males and 179lbs for 30-39yrs old) tho this rule changes since the Leopards grow atached to there riders. The Leopards are trianed to hunt humans on command from there Rider and returned when called. They protect there riders and others if they get wounded and in training have been known to drag there rider back to safty.
And so the Furhur declared that this project should start and so 2 years later the first divsion of Leopard riders was seen, Parided around Tokyo II main city to show what this new force was to do.

Leopard Rider:
JS Leopard:
Size: 6-8ft (nose to tip of tail)
Hight: 3-4ft to shoulder
weight: 200-230lbs
Speed:
25-30mph with rider

Carry weight:600-660lbs
Eyesight: particularly good at night with highly reflective layers behind the retinas to throw back as much light as possible through the pupils. Night vision up to 7x better than ours.

Hearing: approx. 5 times more acute than ours. Used as a primary source of detecting prey or potential danger.

Teeth: 32 in all. 4 canines (2in long) for killing. Molars for cutting flesh & crushing bone & incisors to gnaw at soft ends of bones & scrape off fibres & tendons.

Paws: particularly large fore paws for grabbing prey & fighting. Cushioned by soft pads for silent walking & grip/balance.

Claws:sharp & retractable (1in long) & protected by lobes of skin. Used for fighting, gripping prey animals & scratch-marking trees around territory boundaries.

Tail:up to 3ft long. Used mostly to maintain balance while running at speed.

Leopard rider:

Hmm...interesting...a bit primitive, but very catchy as well.

Maby but just think, what weapon eats ya as well and can fight on its own with out something pushing a button? a normal leopard is like 2-3 times stronger then humans this is 3-4x stronger, and stelthy well if the riders get off.

Also its almost impossible to ambush them since the Leopards would smell you befor they got near the trap and warn the riders of corse there are massive disadvantages (kill the rider and the Leopard cant be used by anyone elce, kill the leopard and the Rider has to star all over again etc).

Well, are they immune to disease? This is a factor. Think about it, if they all die out, that weapon is gone. I'm not saying this is bad, but if a nation decides to wage biological warfare, I don't think that'll survive.

Your idea is pretty good though. I'll purchase some :)

Furhur today declared that the formation of 3 more of these divsions to be produced in 2 years to hopefully be used in the Civil war if it still carrys on.
She was quoted in saying "the Leopard project seems to be a sucess"

An interesting weapon. We of Letila use another Japanese product as a weapon.

Another proof that cavalry is not dead!

Cavalry and horseback armies are a traditional part of Haejong culture, but when it united into a modern nation, our cavalries traded in their horses for motorbikes. However, it is interesting to see another approach... while Hiroshiko brings up a good point, good luck with the development anyway!

very innovative and unique...

but the down side is that a good old machine gun could take care of them...

and could a leopard carry all that equipment, including the rider? did you use some genetic engineering on the animals to give them that extra strength?

in addition to the above, any form of cavalry today isn't very plausible or practical these days...they are mainly used for parades or they are just for show...

Where is your civil war thread, as an ally i wil help.

I use leapords too. Along with rhinos and elephants. THey soften the deaths for the actual men. I have few riders.

im not shore but i will work it out and put it up, and yes there used in wars, a Leopard is quieter then a Tank, it can walk up mountins infact it can do a sh!t load more then a Tank.
No there not genetic engineered ones, (infact yes i change the stats a bit...there kinda larger then Real Life Leopards and slower but...it had to be done to make the unit work).

oh ya BTW the new Divsions are totaly women, since the Ad weight of a women at the same age is slightly less.

updated:- i found out that a Leopard can carry 3x its own body weight not 2x

It's got a quirky feel to it, I like. I don't think it's the CornixPes style to adopt this kind of infantry, but I applaud your imagination. One or two notes, however, I don't think the anatomy of a leopard is fit for a fully grown Human to ride. That's just my opinion, but it isn't highly logical.

its why my leopards are kinda bigger then a normal leopard and also the riders are postioned differently to be able to ride (there not at 90* angel like you do on a horse, slightly more bent forward)
