The Heavy Siege Tank (HSTT) was one of several tracked (anti grav assist) invader siege tanks. Far more powerful than their own class of MBT. Human combat vehicles just could not withstand the HSTT's firepower.
HSTT's had multiple armaments. Most notable; it's high yield, energy based, main cannon with a secondary multi-barrel plasma gun. One could wipe out the strongest human tanks in blink of an eye. They had very few weaknesses. However, lacked the speed of MAGAT's but could still attain speeds of 65 MPH in open terrain. They required landing craft to deploy. Then they would convoy into the combat zone. These tanks were heavily armored. But, a well placed hit near the base of the main cannon or forward crew cab would at minimum disable the vehicle.
Invader tanks designated as 'Siege' packed additional firepower. Multiple launch projectile systems (MLPS) were mounted on side or back of the vehicle. HSTT's MLPS was mounted on the rear or top of the turret. The MLPS expanded the function of the tank to provide artillery support. It launches long/medium range rocket fire on various targets (capacity ranged 20 to 100 missiles). They fought human armor units, desimated bases, and rained destruction on large population centers. The HSTT would become most feared by regular military and militia units.
Yesterdays WIP for comparison. Attached 40 round rocket launcher. Rotates and elevates. All rockets are removable.
