[NS] Arbitrator MBT

A bad tank.
⨴ The cannon recoil is brutal. You can use it as a maneuvering aid.
⨴ Don't disengage the gliders until you are stopped, or the treads might break.
⨴ The tank is rated for 8x shots; the armour will break off at this power, but the tank will continue to operate.





On paper, the Arbitrator was an attractive proposition - a combination of skimmers and tracks made it highly adaptable, a powerful cannon let it punch above its weight, and advances in Nanite Systems' manufacturing technology made it startlingly cheap.

However, in practice the base design of the vehicle left a lot to be desired - it was simply too tall and unstable, and the three-track design made it unacceptably unreliable. Ultimately, the Army passed it over in favour of other vehicles at the end of the development phase.


Somebody held a tank contest at some point; somehow, this tank won it.

Suspension as track pads is vastly superior to armour plates.

I suspect the size of this tank is a large part of the reason I've been having so much trouble with the treads. They are small, fast, mounted on a heavy tank, and expected to eat brutal terrain.

I am not exactly satisfied with this tank design - it's too tall, the hull sucks, and the three-tread layout is less than ideal.
