C3 Link Targeting & Tracking System: FireScan w. IndirecTrack and Artemis IV FCS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==Overview:== Even though the AFFC had lost its Quickcell plant, the Fed Sun military had An overabundance of SRM & LRM carriers in its forces. In 3060, an idea was Hatched by an Lefttenant Hartswell on converting damaged SRM/LRM carriers Over to a mobile artillery carrier, in this case dual thumpers. Without any Modifications other than a make-shift turret and the addition of a few tons of extra Armor the Thumper Carrier was born ==Capabilities:== The Thumper Carrier excels in its job. With the ability to loiter way behind the Lines as compared to the other Carriers(SRM/LRM/AC2) and keep its crew out Of harms way, there has been a marked increase in transfer requests from the Front line Carriers to artillery corp. But for capabilities, the twin cannons can Saturate an area almost twice as fast as the larger cannon and with a ammunition Load of 60 shells sustained fire missions are possible-5 minutes of constant fire. Another ability added to these units was the inclusion of C3i for improved target Acquisition and direct fire situations. ==Deployment== So far, deployment has been limited to mainly planetary militia firebases. A few Have been assigned to line units but have not seen action as of this time. -------------------------------------------------------- Type/Model: Thumper Carrier Mass: 60 tons Equipment: Items Mass Int.
