woofmcmoose Posted August 2, 2015 Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Location: B06 Tags: Vehicle, Land/Water vehicle, Military Henry Moose Personal Log 02 Augustali 3815 Well I guess whilst I joined MANTIS for the variety and excitement I didn't really expect this: Last week freezing on Terrial Minor and barely escaping intact; This week acting as chauffeur for some special ops guys on Sorn; a mix of marines and combat engineers. I at least expected some kind of fancy dropship to fly but no I get a floating brick of an amphibious assault vehicle; something about trouble taking down Kawashita air defences. So the plan was to go in on the water, to establish a beach head on an as yet unexplored and unexploited island chain north of Kawashita's main area of operations. Out of the water the amphibious transport handled just as badly as in the water; she was a real pig. Still we got there, feet dry, and nobody shot at us so I count that a success. Now we just need to level an LZ before we can drop in the Awesomnium harvesters. Spec ops should be opening a window in the Kawashita sensor and air defence coverage just long enough to land the heavy gear. Then the plan is to act like we were here all along should the Kawas come calling. Some more shots of the tank: Folding Front Ramp: and Rear Ladders: Had to fiddle a little to ensure the tracks angled up at the snout without fouling the load bed: Cheers Big Sal for putting your build up first as it provided some additional inspiration for my story.
