Description
The Ku Wheeled Assault Tank is designed to, slowly but surely, advance against an enemy's line and bring as many of its weapons as possible to bear. Based on the Turhan produced by the SLDF, the Ku can only manage a top speed of 65 km/h. To protect it, the combat vehicle carries seven tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor, spread rather evenly over its entire surface. It is odd for a Clan vehicle in that it has many accommodations for an extended campaign. It features a fully-pressurized cabin, complete with a small airlock, a small stove, and sleeping facilities for one crew member.
Armament
The largest gun on the Ku is its Type 9 Ultra Autocannon/10. This large-bore autocannon is capable of inflicting serious wounds on any opponent in the Ku's weight class or under. The only deficiency is that, with two tons of ammunition, it can run out rather quickly, so using volley fire is generally recommended. The longest-range firepower comes from the Series 7J ER Large Laser. At pointblank, the Ku's gunner can make use of a Series 1 ER Small Laser. The only weapon which is not mounted in the tank's turret is the Pattern JX Streak SRM-4, which is located in the front of the vehicle. This can exploit any weaknesses created by the larger guns, and functions effectively as an anti-tank weapon.
