The L&M Heavy Tank 188/9
The L&M HV 188/9, nicknamed "The Woodlouse" is a heavy tank designed mainly by Boris Lefkutter and William Miliksemut. It was built to sweep enemy fortifications and deal severe damage to trenches and bunkers with it's single frontal "Asper" cannon, as well as take down infantry with the 2 machine guns located on the sides.
The Asper cannon could swivel up to 48° on both sides horizontally, but not vertically (A major flaw in early models), while it's machine guns swiveled 60° horizontally and vertically (This is due to the MGs being covered in a lot more cloth than "steel", thus, leaving the gunners more vulnerable)
Another flaw this model had was the limited visibility, only featuring one porthole for the main gunner's assistant to help him aim the Asper cannon. The driver could not see, meaning either he had to rely on the tiny porthole by asking the gunner's assistant to help him, or have the commander stick his head through the top hatch.
The Woodlouse had a crew of 8:
2 Gunners for the Asper cannon (The main gunner and the aim assistant)
1 Loader
1 Driver
1 Commander
1 Radioman
and 2 Lateral machine gun operators
Despite it's problems, the Woodlouse played a crucial role during the Sustenance Wars, in the battle of Takami, supporting the Mantises in the destruction of the Kardenanttan line of defense.
Around 852 units were built since it's creation, before ceasing all production following the capitulation of Antakia.
