MBT-8 Harrier

The MBT-8, or Main Battle Tank 8, nicknamed the Harrier was designed as predecessor to the earlier saber line of assault tanks. The vehicle posses adequate armor with a single heavy laser cannon capable of penetrating thick armor of enemy tanks. In addition the tank carries two pods giving it a variable mission profile allowing the design to adapt to battlefield situations.

Each combat pod can be equipped with, two launcher tubes with eight anti-armor missiles or fifty rockets per pod, or one rotary blaster cannon and power source for anti-infantry duty. The pods allow flexibility in the vehicles mission profile. The vehicle can change between masses of light rockets capable of leveling infantry formations and damaging light armor, heavy missiles for penetrating the armor of larger vehicles, and rotary blaster cannons which provide an insane rate of fire. Further each combat pod could be rotated up or down giving them a wider field of fire.
