Description
Built by the same company that made the Saracen and Scimitar, the Saladin was Scarborough's last medium hover tank. It is unlike its brothers in that the Saladin does not mount a turret, and its only weapon is a heavy, short-range AC/20. Since it's vastly different from the company's other hovercraft, buyers were quite skeptical about purchasing it; Scarborough had to offer incentives like free training and transportation. Soon it became as cheap as the Saracen and spread throughout the whole Inner Sphere.
Armament
With a top speed of 130 kph and sporting a Scarborough Original 20 Autocannon/20 it is by far the fastest land vehicle to mount such a devastating weapon. Unlike other vehicle that have a turret, the tactics for using the Saladin are different. They're best used to make passing runs like AeroSpace Fighters: rush toward the enemy, close in and fire, then continue past and turn back for another run. Therefore the armor layout is different - the majority of the Saladin's armor is located at the front, while the vehicle's sides and rear are left comparatively vulnerable.
