Description
"We thought it was a Drache when we heard it, but when it finally emerged over the hill, we realized just how wrong we were. It took us a moment to come to terms with the fact that what we were seeing was in fact a vehicle, not a bloody blockhouse that had grown legs and begun walking. By that time, though, half the squad was dead and the building we'd taken cover in was coming down around us. We took her down, but she cost us three good men and a valuable intersection." -Extremi Sergeant of the Fifth Mechanized Regiment, detailing his first encounter with a Riese.
Of all the Damontian land based vehices, nothing quite makes an impression like the Riese. It towers over even its predecessor the Drache, and calling it a "mobile pillbox" would be a rather apt term indeed, as this was exactly the idea behind the Riese's development. Stemming from a military order for a heavy vehicle capable of demolishing buildings and supporting infantry/tanks in an urban environment, the Riese needed to be just as mobile and as durable as the vehicles it was supporting. So, the chassis of the already successful Drache tank was used, with the turret replaced by mountings for a heavy infantry gun. Rather than firing solid shells, the cartridges of this gun are made up of a two-part system; you have the propellant charge, and then the projectile itself, a large finned warhead consisting of a hundred pound shaped charge. These cartridges are deadly against vehicle and building alike, shattering armor or concrete with ease. Of course, the Riese is not without its shortcomings; unlike the Extremi's Lancer, the Riese lacks the gun traverse or the range to function as an effective artillery weapon, forcing the Damontians to rely on less mobile artillery pieces for long range strikes. In addition, the Riese carries no secondary defensive weapons, making it easy pickings for an effective squad of Extremi soldiers with grenades.
Features:
- Heavy Armor/Sideplates make it almost invulnerable to standard small arms and light explosive weaponry, though it also costs the Riese in speed and manuverability.
- Shares a chassis with the Drache, making repairs and maintainence simpler, though it also shares the Drache's shortcomings
- Dozer blade on the front, ideal for clearing debris after demolishing a building
- Simple mounting system, allows for the gun to be easily removed for maintainence
- Armored side plates protects the treads from small arms and light explosives, to help partially make up for the Drache's limited defensive capabilities.
SPECS:
Height: 10.3 ft.
Length: 26.0 ft.
Width: 12.7 ft.
Weight: 70 tons
Armanent: 180mm Heavy Infantry Gun
Powerplant: 1 Rottstein V-16 Diesel Engine
