================================================================================================
Overview:
Designed in response to the failures of the War of 3039, the Stadtpanzer was a project of
the AFFC to provide under supplied garrisons with a simple, yet effective urban support
combat vehicle.
Capabilities:
Engineered around a burst-fire 105 mm Federated Autocannon AC/10 mounted in a full-range
turret, the Stadtpanzer was developed to have the punch to make raiders weary and the range
to use it effectively. The chief engineer wanted to avoid the minimum range of lighter
autocannons given the vehicle's role as an urban unit but had to trade speed and terrain
capability for the mass to carry this 12 ton cannon. As such, a PowerTech HighLift 70 ICE
was chosen to power the vehicle with an eight wheeled suspension system to support the
vehicle's 30 ton mass. This engine and suspension system provides a max cross-country speed
of 54 kph and an urban speed of 64.8 kph on paved surfaces. While exceedingly slow for its
mass compared to other combat units, the speed is more than adequate as a urban support
vehicle, easily keeping up with infantry forces. To protect the vehicle from enemy fire,
the Stadtpanzer is fitted with 4.5 tons of Phoenix Cuirass standard armor plating, the newly
rediscovered cellular ammunition storage equipment, and a M-70 "Bushmaster II" 20mm machine
gun. Finally, to enhance it's role as a urban support vehicle, the Stadtpanzer has a 1 ton
infantry bay that allows it to carry and deploy a squad of infantry soldiers. With the use
of readily available components and a price tag of just under 500k per vehicle, the
Stadtpanzer can be depolyed in adequate numbers to empower any planetary garrison.
Variants:
An up armored variant replaces the infantry bay with an extra ton of armor, increasing the
armor thickness by almost 23% to 5.5 tons.
