USAN Raptor LST

Attention Commander! New tank landing ships have been made available by High Command to improve your power projection ability to the far corners of your territory!

The Aerial Navy's Raptor LST is an extremely capable craft able to be used in almost every conflict situation. Combining the best the Aerial Navy and Land Army forces have to offer in a craft 25% as expensive as the average capital ship, this vessel and its small army will allow you to establish new footholds throughout the world.

The Raptor itself can do over 110 kph fully laden, can float at standard USAN cruising altitude of 25 meters, and it boasts significant power reserves comparable to those of destroyers. Weaponry with vehicles embarked is especially lethal, the barrage of cruise missiles from the embarked M7 will put a swift end to almost every enemy encountered! However, weaponry post-deployment is limited to Avalanche missiles and standard MGs. For this reason, it is advised to use the Raptor's mobility to exfiltrate the area. Alternatively, support ships (such as the Onslaught Destroyer Tender) or the ship's own vehicles can be used for protection.

It is important to note that both power drain *and* capacity will decrease when vehicles are launched, as three of them are shielded. To launch them, the landing door blocks will need to either be removed or re-oriented to the down position as to facilitate deployment.

The vehicles are by no means an afterthought either! Included are two M11A1 Railgun Trucks, Two M15 Armored Cars, and one M7 Cruise Missile Tank. The M11A1s are unshielded, but stand their own in moderate-intensity engagements and are capable of defeating prey significantly larger than them. For tougher enemies, the M15 Armored Car is an excellent example of an underdog with no shortage of bite. Packing an incredible amount of weaponry into its small chassis, the M15 is well protected with small bubbles, ensuring it has enough power to take down several strong enemies before needing to circle back to base! Finally we have the M7, a compact version of the M8 Missile Tank adapted for use on LSTs. With its eight cruise missiles and large HE shield bubble, it makes short work of virtually any enemy from standoff range, but isn't afraid to get dirty either!

Go give them the one-two punch with your Army-Navy hardware commander!

P.S: I will post an alternate version with no vehicles so that everyone can add their own vehicles to this tech! Just use the RR Fastener core to combine without having to build techs on top of it!
