Ravenclaw's Urban Combat Vehicle Guide

Bell-Boeing Skyhawk


The Bell-Boeing Skyhawk is the smallest mass-produced tilt-rotor aircraft. It serves the same tactical purpose as the Bell F-152 Autogyro but by doing away with the large rotor-blades it can squeeze into tighter places and can take more damage while staying aloft. Instead of the standard open-blade rotors, it uses two Pratt-Whitney heavy lift turbofans encased in armored housings and uses vecotored control panes for enhanced maneuverability. The pilot sits atop the vehicle in an open housing much like a motorcycle or autogyro. The pilot is cyberlinked and is usually equipped with night-vision optics either in the form of bionics or goggles.

Top Speed: 400kmh                                     
Crew:1
Passengers: 0
Maneuver: +0
SP:10
Mass: 2 tons
ACC/DEC: 10/20
Range: 30 miles
Cargo: none
SDP: 50 
Type: Tilt-rotor
Cost: 225,400 E$

Accessories: Spotlight, Cyber-Link Control, Radio, Environmental Protection.

Armament: 7.6mm minigun on an open turret with 4 magazines of ammo.

Special: The pilot sits atop the vehicle like a motorcycle in an open frame. 
This means that any damage taken by the vehicle from the top, front, rear or
sides has a 20% chance of hitting the pilot.  Attacks from below only have a 
5% chance.

Mac II "Monster"

Note: This vehicle appears, although slightly modified, in R.Talsorian's Chromebook 4!

The Mac II was originally produced in 2013 as a superior alternative to the popular Peterbilt 2000. Not really an urban combat vehicle, this long-haul transport can nontheless hold it's own in a firefight or withstand a pirate nomad attack.
The Monster differs from the Peterbilt in that it uses two methanol engines and can support cyber-linkage for an additional 71,000 E$. It sports a full radar suite along with radar detection capability. It has a weapon hatch on the roof of the cab for easy firing of weapons or an quick exit if necessary. It is also built on a heavier and more durable chassis than the Peterbilt. The only drawback is that you get what you pay for: almost 200 grand for the Mac II as opposed to the 110 thousand for the Peterbilt.

The Bell-Boeing Aircar



Note: This vehicles appears, although slightly modified, in R.Talsorian's Chromebook 4!

The Aircar was the early predecessor to the luxury ducted-thrust personal vehicles of today. The Aircar was released in early 2010 as the luxury alternative to the AV-4 for the executive. Priced well above most moderate incomes, only a few coroporate CEO's and some luxury rental services purchased any. Today, with the advent of the ducted thrust vehicles that sacrifce economy for speed and maneuverability, the Aircar has been relegated to rental services and the occassional lower eschelon executive.

The Deutsche Moterwerk Mauser



The Maus is a special kind of ACPA called a Landmate. Landmates are characterized by their use of slave servos for the arms opposed to the direct control. Use of the slave servos enables the designer to create larger sized ACPA. The drawback is the exposure of the arms to the lighter armor of the servos (note- I have, as yet, no real rules for this, so this mech was constructed with standard rules). The Maus is also unique in that it is a quadrupedal ACPA. It's forelegs are controlled by the arm slave servos and it has the limited ability to rear up on it's hind legs like a bear. It was designed as an anti-personnell and light anti-ACPA. Against a real vehicle the Maus can do little damage but it is heavily armored so that it can make a quick retreat.
