the Sledgehammer
In either of its modes, the Sledgehammer is a one-man mobile missile platform. It can be configured in either a lower, treaded mode for off-road action, or a higher, wheeled mode for use on more level ground. This dark green vehicle has the following capabilities:
| Handling RV 10 |
Velocity RV 6 * |
Durability RV 30 |
Protection RV 10 |
* This listed Velocity rating is for the Sledgehammer's default, treaded mode. When utilized in a wheeled fashion, this should be increased by +2 RS, to rank value 20 (68.18 MPH vs 40.91 MPH).
Body Armor: the Sledgehammer is built to take a beating. Its small, compact design makes it appear fragile until you take into account the sheer density of the vehicle. It has an effective Durability trait of 30, and offers its occupant value 10 Protection.
Communications Gear: the Sledgehammer is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system (and dual transceiver antennas). It provides rank value 10 transception, with a 25 mile range, that features rank value 30 signal encryption.
Missile Launcher: the Sledgehammer's sole armament in both modes is its rotating, double-barreled missile launcher. Its projectiles inflict the listed damage when fired singly, adding a +1 RS if both are fired at (and hit) their target. They have these characteristics:
| Handling RV 20 |
Velocity RV 50 |
Durability RV 20 |
Damage RV 30 Slashing (fragmentary) |
Shape Change: like all BTR vehicles, the Sledgehammer has more than one configuration. It has the same raw capabilities in its treaded and wheeled modes, save for speed; the thing is much faster in its wheeled mode than in its treaded form.
