================================================================================================
Overview:
Developed by Bulldog shortly after they acquired their manufacturing license for the
Manticore, the Pitbull medium tank was seen as a "side-grade" to the timeless Bulldog. Armed
with the Parti-kill PPC and Bulldog's own minigun, both mounted in the turret, it also adds
significantly more armour. But it uses the same drivetrain, suspension, tracks, heatsinks,
and a very slightly modified hull from the Bulldog. The power amplifier is even based on
that used by the Bulldog, only with more of the same assemblies. It was intended to be a
cheap and simple version of the Manticore that could be used by planetary and city militias
and mercenaries.
Put into production in 3049, manufacture would be halted in 3051 in favor of the more common
Bulldog so as to simplify logistics. It would go back into production in 3057 and marketed
in direct competition with the LTV-4 clone made by Quikcell where the improved armour,
simpler maintenance compared to a fusion engine, and a tagline "no assembly required". In
later years it would also see direct completion from NETC's Myrmidon. With the introduction
of the snub-PPC armed and redesigned fuel cell powered Bulldog in 3088, the Pitbull would be
retired from production.
