==Description==
The '''Musketeer hover tank''' is a [[combat vehicle]] designed to deliver concentrated firepower quickly and cheaply. The hovertank is as difficult to kill as a hover vehicle can be, with seven tons of [[ferro-fibrous]] armor protecting it, and [[CASE]] protecting its four-person crew from internal explosions. An [[internal combustion engine]] is inexpensive and can still maintain speeds up to 119 km/h.<ref name="TRO:3067pp16+"/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Musketeer was created to deliver a Mydron Tornado [[rotary autocannon/5]] to the field. Three tons of ammunition give the Musketeer's crew the ability to maintain sustained fire. The autocannon is backed up by a pair of Holly Mark II [[Streak SRM-2]] launchers. The result of this is a scattershot effect that can quickly damage the motive systems of enemy tanks and damage critical systems.<ref name="TRO:3067pp16+"/>

==Variants==
*;Armor : This variant developed in [[Introduction Year::3068]]<ref name="MUL2"/> replaces the autocannon with a smaller [[Rotary Autocannon/2]]. The loss of firepower nonetheless enabled engineers to add additional armor, making the Musketeer even more difficult to bring down.<ref name="TRO:3067pp16+"/> BV (1.0) = 553,<ref name="COp126"/> BV (2.0) = 897<ref>''Record Sheets: 3067 Unabridged'', p. 21</ref><ref name="MUL2">[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/4687/musketeer-hover-tank-armor/ MUL online entry for the Musketeer Hover Tank (Armor) variant]</ref>

*;3080 Upgrade : This version introduced in [[Introduction Year::3080]]<ref name="MUL3"/> uses a [[fusion engine]] to provide power. This increases the Musketeer's top speed to 120 km/h. The Streak launchers have been removed and a four ton infantry compartment has been added, as has some armor.
