Mark 2 Light Tank
An expeditionary light tank developed by Bandit Industrial Group. Fast, maneuverable, and armed with a potent 105mm 10-stage coilgun, it is also amphibious. It has a crew of three: the driver, gunner, and commander, with the loader position taken by an automatic loading system that can pump shots at a rate of 30 shots a second, and can select a wide variety of ammunition to choose from, including APFSDS, HEAT, HE, and beehive. The frontal armor was also upgraded, able to resist a hit from the 30mm Mk 9 cannon, although the rest of the vehicle is vulnerable to anything more powerful. It can carry 28 shots.
It was often deployed as a tank destroyer and heavy reconaissance vehicle, with great success. The degree of armor and firepower it granted gave any patrol a significant firepower advantage. The excellent gun and small size allowed it to decimate much larger and numerically superior opponents, such as the Artemis Mk II and the IJU-C1 Stalker.
Notably, a lone Mk 2 Light Tank, commanded by Lt. Amy Long, was able to knock out a company of fifteen Stalker medium tanks in less than a minute. Firing from a concealed position, she knocked out the lead tank. The platoon leader initially believed they struck a mine, and halted, allowing her to knock out the rearmost vehicle, trapping the column. By this time, they pinpointed the location of her fire, and was forced to relocate, where she made use of scoot and shoot techniques in order to confuse them, leading to the destruction of the entire column
To operate, put VTOL forward in order to move forward, and yaw to steer. Pitch controls gun elevation, and roll controls turret traverse.
