CRN M-117 Legionaire Heavy Tank

The CRN Legionaire Heavy Tank is one of the CRN's newest ground units to enter active service, constructed alongside the CRN's next generation ground combat platforms the Legionaire was born out of the need for a heavily armed and armored ground platform. Speedy, and well armored the Legionaire was built with the main principle, of acting as a front line penetrative spearhead, and defensive shield. Leveraging more powerful firepower with a longer range the Legionaire can snipe enemy targets from extremely far distances.

Built to serve in the CRN's elite combat divisions, the Legionaire is a highly capable and sturdy platform, capable of dealing out massive amounts of damage and withstanding massive amounts of firepower. Built around maneuver warfare, the Legionaire is a highly mobile platform for its size rivaling even some of the CRN's faster MBT's. Born out of the Republics need for a more heavily armed platform, for territorial defense and shock and awe operations the Legionaire can do just that, with is massive single barrel railgun the Legionaire can cleave most conventional tanks in half, while maintaining hidden. Along with third generation "hunter killer" capabilities, the Legionaire can track targets even if the tank crew themselves cannot see an enemy target, making it a highly dangerous and capable platform. The original program that led to the eventual Legionaire was started shortly after the Siege of the CRN's home world Nova Prime. Using what equipment the CRN ground corps had at the time, Defender 1's and older antiquated Guardian 2's the CRN realized the need for a heavier tank that would be able to perform in such combat conditions. Given the losses the CRN and guardsmen took in the siege of its capitol, and their heavy reliance on less flexible platforms, the CRN needed a new platform. Enter the CRN's Heavy Tracked Combatant 130 program, which aimed to produce a more heavily armed and armored tank. The Legionaire heavy tank. The CRN opened up the design phase to three separate corporations, Omega Combat Industries. Standoff Arms Corporation, and North star Defense Industries. Each producing their own unique combat designs, OCI, produced its "Model-113" HTC Platform, Standoff producing what is now the "Legionaire", and North Star producing the Grizzly Heavy Combatant. Standoff won the contract, best filling the requirements outlined by the CRN. Once the contract was awarded the Standoff began its procurement phase. The first Legionaire tanks began rolling off the production lines in 2985 just five years before the Republic Xeno war, where it first saw active combat in the CRN's defense of the immensely vital planet of Arcadia. The Legionaire units served under the 115th and 180th Arcadian guard divisions, where they saw the brunt of the Bugs military push into the planet. Taking up defensive lines, the Legionaire divisions were able to hold back the Bugs advance in several key locations, able to cut off access to main roads, and transportation lines. The guard divisions were able to hold these first lines for several weeks, where they were subsequently overwhelmed and had to fall back to a second line a kilometer back, where they once more took up defensive positions. Eventually the guard divisions, and the defending forces were able to receive reinforcements from the incoming ground corps, and marine divisions arriving to the planet.

This tank performs really well, Its personally one of my favorite builds, and it was super fun to construct. The armor on it is pretty durable, and it should be able to take a significant number of potshots from a railgun. I also gave it the ability to run without scripts, so you can now control the turret without needing a script, I have a timer set up for it as well, though you may have to do some digging in the control bar. Otherwise here's my discord server --> https://discord.gg/bvyHbesvyc its there if you want to join. Anyways I hope you all enjoy, and keep on the look out for some other new stuff I should be posting in the near future. Enjoy!!
