This heavy duty artillery support vehicle was first developed and assembled during the years of the "Requem Conquest". While standard M808-Bs proved useful against the new forerunner threat, too many were needed. This caused the creation of artillery units. Wolverines were originally recalled to service, but the lack of modern armour and mechanics proved to be too great a cost, the impracticality of Mamoths also caused distress as while they had extreme protection, they were useless in smaller fights.
And so the Mk. III Artillery Support Rig was made. Low enough in profile to be hidden well, armoured enough to withstand multiple wraith shots, and most of all armed enough to cause a turn in tide during conflict. Armaments include a 4 shot grenade laucher, that can toggle between flares, gas, emp, high explosive and thermite grenades. All of which are stired internally.
The default main cannon is a 80mm SBHC (smooth bore high caliber) artillery launch system, AKA the 'kingfish' support cannon, with an effective range between 100 meters and 4 miles. Advanced comunication and navigational devices allow for manual and AI controlled firing. Other variants of cannons exist, they each are used for different assaults. Some cannons are Anti Aircraft based, while others are Fortification destroyers.
Combat records when using Mk. IIIs increaded for all battalions, although usually Mk. IIIs are used in armoured supply convoys. The main convoys consist of;
-2 MT-71 transporters
-4 M808-B scorpions
-2 Mk. III kingfishers
-4 light recon vehicles (warthogs)
This build took aproximately 6 hours to make and uses a Light armour firebase and heavy armour outpost for parts. Thanks you for looking at this and until my next project, this is Sam, and keep building.
