================================================================================================
Overview:
    In 3035 Horch Vehicles on Abagnar introduced a special 30 ton tractor for towed artillery.

Capabilities:
    The Rhinoceros Artillery Tractor can not only pull artillery but also support it:
    8 tons of ammo can be carried and delivered to its gun carriage by means of a loading hoist
    (more a kind of conveyor belt) [represented by the rear mounted 1 ton cargo compartment]
    that, once connected [takes 1 turn without movement], can load 0,5 tons of ammo per 10
    seconds [0,5 tons per 1 turn without movement, if a ton of ammo consists of an uneven number
    of shots: round down]. If the tractor moves while connected the hoist automatically
    disconnects and retracts.
    A small infantry compartment hold the crew to set up the artillery.
    For protection the Rhinoceros is wrapped into 4.5 tons of armor, carries 2 vehicular grenade
    launchers (mostly filled with anti-infantry and/or smoke grenades) and a single turret
    mounted machinegun.

Deployment:
    Mostly used by units stationed on Abagnar.

Variants:
    Later variants drop the rear mounted grenade launchers for a CASE.
