The Totalitarian Military State of the Kraven Corporation

Weight: 35 tonnes
Speed : Road - 35mph/off road - 55mph
Armour : 5" ablative armour
Engines: Two CATERPILLER V8 Diesel Engines, rated at 405HP each
Weapons: 50 Cal turret mounted heavy machine gun, firing HE rounds, plus Close proximty Frag Launchers/smoke launchers (autoloading, as required)

Capacity: 15 fully armoured Capitol Police troopers, including additional room for Secret police Command unit (4 Kreigsmarines + 1 Reichmarshal)

Front mounted bulldozer blade for clearing obstecals and barracades, as well as being used for quick entries into buildings

the APC is an 8 wheeler, that uses run flat tires, so hostile targets attempting to immobilise an APC will fail. the wheels are large enough to spread the weight of the APC evenly, meaning, soft ground can be traveresed relativly easy, only in extreme circumstances did the APC become bogged down, during initial testing.

The 50. cal heavy machine gun, with HE rounds is designed to primarly engage rebel fortified positions, the blasts usually penetrating the makeshift barricades, and wounding the defenders behind, making them easy targets for the Capitol Police assault that will follow,

The APC's cammoflauge scheme is normaly, black, but Red and Black, drab military Grey and Urban cammoflauge

The Corporation prefers to use the Black, and red and black when assaulting rebel positions or Pacifiying occupied areas because of the intimidating fear effect this has on the population.

The APC is the heaviest and largest tank in the Kraven Military, making the Corporations Main battle tank, The Leman Russ look relativly small in comparision,

Pictures done by ATO SARA, With many thanks

[OOC: This is the primary veichle of the Capitol Police, and is used in the policeing of all occupied countries, as well as the Kraven Capitol - Kravonika, however Comments and questions are welcome, but i will not be changing anything about this APC as it is how i want it, so i will not improve the weaponry because it is obsolete or pointless or whatever, its my tank i shall field it how i wish, further more, its not for sale, im just posting stats and pictures, so when i do field it, people know what to expect]

1. Switch your road and off road speeds around.
2. Where do your troops enter and exit the APC
3. I would recomend up gunning the .50 to an FN 15.5mm or a 20mm cannon.
4. The weels are vulnurable to RPGs even though they are run flats. I would include an option to put RPG skirts on the sides of the APC to help combat this.
5. If you are going to use a .50 please state weather it is .50 BMG or .50 Russian.

wicked, I like how you spread the weight out bu making it longer, but how did it effect its mobility?

And why is it Faster off road?

1 - No, it is designed to be faster offroad, the tires are Off road tires, so grip better on Off road areas, on roads, the tires try to dig into road and so create a distinct whine, and so slow the APC down

2 - There is a Rear exit, and a top hatch, although dismounting is usually done from the rear, the top hatch allows for the Capitol Police inside to engage hostile forces

3 .50cal HE rounds are sufficient enough for policing duties, this is not a front line APC

4 - Point noted, will reconsider

5 - Russian


To answer Clan furs questions -

1 - The wheels are all independant steering, meaning the APC despite its length can practically turn on a dime.

2 - Stated before, Point number one

Thanks both to you for your comments

1 point: red and black are the colors for anarchy :D

LOL, well it lures the rebels into a false sense of security...

<.< How can Anarchists have assigned colours >.>

Anyway this is a nice vehicle, but DAKKADAKKA42 is right on all points. Ive never heard of a vehicle that can go faster off road than on before, and considering the size of this vehicle you could get away with a 20mm cannon and a coaxial machinegun. The only thing I would add is that it looks a bit small to carry 15 people (something like the British Warrior only carries 5 or 6 passengers on top of the vehicle crew).

The picture belies its actual size, the APC is larger than a Standard Imperial Leman Russ Main Battle tank...

Like i said before, the wheels are designed to Dig into soft ground, they are from RL, my dad has a set of mudd pluggers on his landrover, it travels faster on soft ground because the wheels are designed to grip it, where as on the road they try to tear into the tarmac, causing a distinctive whine, and slow the veihcle down.

I'd rather not upgrade the main weapon to a 20mm cannon, like i said, its only for policing duties in occupied countries and The Kraven Capitol, if the rebels or traitors pull out any heavy armour, we simply hit it with something bigger...

Oh and thanks for the comments everyone!

A vehicle that is larger and more powerful than your main battle tank, only has a .50? :headbang:

Lol, making up for what i didnt put up, say question? Did you receive my telegram about the Harvester? are you willing to make the picture, if not its cool don't worry :)

Nice, but it is still vunerable to heavier AT weapons, like the AT-4 or, God forbid, a Javelin. Plus, a sneak attack can get close and plant a bomb onboard the APC, if it is operating in urban environments.

Understandable, but the Apc has frag and Smoke launchers, that prevent attackers from getting close enough to the tank to plant a bomb, also the top hatch can be opened and the CP inside can defend the tank, making in effect a mobile bunker.

on the case of the AT weapons, rebels encountered so far have not used AT weapons, and when AT weapons are used, the APC is usually backed up by heavier armoured tanks such as the Leman Russ battle tank, that even though is smaller, has better armour and better weaponry than the APC.

Well you could put a bomb on any vehicle if you sneak on it including an MBT.

Which is why we have the frag launchers
