Missed one.
Saracen Medium Hover Tank
Tonnage: 35
Movement: 8\12
Movement Type: Hover
Armament: LRM- 10, 3x SRM-2
Armor: 7 tons
Heat Sinks: 0
Advantages: Decent firepower for both short range and long range. Good armor protection for its size, with at least 1.5 tons of armor on the front, back and turret. Good speed. Turret mounted missiles, lets it fire in any arc.
Disadvantages: All the ammo it carries makes it quite likely to blow up if armor is breached. Damage is only average except for a very short bracket of 180-270 meters where both missile systems can be effectively launched together.
Tactics: Should start from long range where it can soften up targets then make high speed passes to utilize its SRMs to finish them off. Armor is enough to allow getting close during battle passes, but not enough to stay and absorb sustained fire.
- Packrat's Notes -
Standard: Fast and relatively heavily armored, the Saracen is an effective skirmisher against other vehicles. All of its weapons have the potential to hit multiple locations, which against vehicles means multiple crit chances. This is actually is primary means of scoring kills against vehicles, because its raw firepower isn't great. This lack of pure damage output means it's not as good against mechs, but a swarm of Saracens can provide enough damage to take out mechs. Ideally, you want to be at exactly 6 hexes from your target to be able to hit with all of your weapons at once.
