Description

This artwork depicts a military vehicle which is a part of my sci-fi world's lore. Do not copy the design, use it in your own artworks, or claim it as your own!

Lore and Description:

UD 144 "Gorom" is a medium self-propelled artillery system used by Rotharnian Ground Forces. Although such systems are often tracked, the designers went with a wheeled chassis for this particular design, utilizing the battle-proven Uzurpov Kastan armored vehicle platform as a basis. The main armament is a 144 mm howitzer with semi-automatic loading. The vehicle also has several cupolas with ring mounts which allow for a heavy machine gun or a grenade launcher to be installed for self-defense, and a group of smoke grenade launchers. The Gorom is usually deployed in a battery consisting of several howitzers, support vehicles carrying additional ammunition, fuel and spare parts, and a command and communication vehicle. Maximum range is about 24 km when using extended range rocket-propelled shells. Sustained rate of fire is about 2-3 rounds per minute, while shorter fire sequences can be fired at roughly double the speed.

Inspiration and Background Information:
The armored cabin of the vehicle is inspired by the Tatrapan armored truck, while the turret and the overall wheeled self-propelled howitzer idea is based on ShKH vz. 77 DANA and its derivatives.

Used Software:
