Description
Description:
MXT-12 , also codenamed as "thunder" is a multipurpose combat walker, designed to accomplish a variety of tasks, and take on and destroy a variety of opponents.
Being a walker, MXT-12 features excellent passability on a rough terrain, and can crouch and run. It also can use it’s three jump jets, to reach higher grounds, should this become necessary.
The mech features durable armor, able to withstand heavy small arms fire, and is capable of surviving some anti-vehicle weaponry. Many will view the glass cockpit as a weak point. The cocpit is protected with two layers of bulletproof plexiglass, between the layers, there is a special layer made of translucent shock-absorbing material. In case if the outer layer of the glass is broken or penetrated, this layer will absorb and evenly distribute the shock to the inner layer, preventing the penetration and shattering of inner layer.
Crew and controls:
The mech is crewed by a single pilot, who is placed in the cockpit in semi-suspended state, allowing him/her to control the mech with their motions.
The pilot controls the mech using a special gear set. Go here for full description-( www.deviantart.com/biomechanoi… ).
Like I said above, the pilot controls the mech using the neural interface and motion-control, with the movement of their arms and legs being partially synchronized with the movements of the mech. The user also can use the neural interface to control the mech using their thoughts. This all gives the user great control over their vehicle, and allows greater dexterity, than most other mechs.
Alternatively, if the said gear is not available, the pilot can use joysticks to control the mech, albeit with less dexterity. The cockpit has joysticks and other controls built-in the armrests that’s are normally folded in, but can be unfolded along with a normal pilot seat if necessary. The status info in that case is displayed on a large display in front of the pilot.
Armament:
MXT-12 possesses a truly devastating arsenal, allowing it to wreak havoc against both enemy infantry and vehicles alike. This devastating arsenal includes:
-XMK-30 minigun. A rotary machinegun, with a high rate of fire, that can easily shred both enemy infantry and light vehicles alike, along with some aerial targets.
-HYDRA-3 rocket launcher, that can fire rockets of various types, either in dumb-fire or guided mode. With the rockets can be launched either one-by-one or in a 3-round salvo.
-MGM-40. A 3-round mortar that fires guided shells of various types, with the shells themselves being able to alter their trajectory mid-air. Mostly used for indirect fire, to soften enemy defense before, engaging in direct battle.
-FE-laser. A free electron laser, placed into the front of the mech. A laser precise enough to hit a target kilometers away, and powerful enough to cut through both flesh and steel.
