Overview:
For their first project, Vulcan Armouries looked to a tried and tested design...the Challenger X main battle tank.
While using a smiliar chassis, engine and armour loadout, they decided that the Challenger, in being a jack-of-all trades, was overly complicated and did not really excel in any one area.
Instead, the designers decided to create a tank whose primary task was long range fire support, in keeping with the ethos of the BCAF.
Capabilities:
Performance-wise the Chieftain has a top speed of 50kph, thanks to the use of an extra-light fusion engine. The bulky power plant and crew are well protected by fourteen tons of armour - more than some heavy mechs.
In keeping with its role as a fire support vehicle, the Chieftain's primary armament is a pair of Poland MMA gauss rifles, each with 2 tons of ammo. For close range combat and self defence, a pair of Streak SRM4 missile racks and twin extended-range medium lasers are mounted as backup weaponry.
For additional protection, the Chieftain is also equipped with CASE, an ECM suite and anti-missile system.
Deployment
The Chieftain is currently undergoing trials at Vulcan's proving grounds but early indications are that it will soon be given the green light for deployment throughout the Coalition with BCAF's armour battalions and militia units.
