Gerald Armored Car
The Gerald Armored Car is often credited as the best AFV of the revolution but the worst of the Second Civil War. Created by the Eystrian Empire in 1916, the Gerald was a pick-up truck with 30-60mm metal plates smeared all over it. It featured two turrets, one with a 75mm cannon and the other with a 20mm anti-aircraft gun. It was designed by Gerald Reme as an infantry support vehicle, which it did well. All Geralds in service retired in 1950 to be scrapped at Tenka.
Production of the car accelerated later on, but the need for them was reduced with the introduction of tanks. By the time the Second Civil War started, 500 unscrapped armored cars were owned by the Kingdom of Tenka. By 1959, there were 50 operational. Now traversing the mountains of Shui, the Gerald was too heavy and slow to efficiently go anywhere within 80km without exploding into flames, getting bogged down, getting strafed, stolen, or knocked out with artillery, as a few examples. Most cars were range targets in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s.
When the Maloor Kingdom kicked the bucket, the Gerald was used again to lesser success. The vehicle was fully retired in 1980; the last 5 are in museums.
