Recognition notes
The Manticore Heavy Tank (RAC) rebuilds the front hull mount into a pair of ER medium lasers, doubling the single medium laser carried on the base Manticore. In the turret, the Rotary AC/5 takes the place of the LRM 10 and PPC, while the SRM 6 carries over from the original. Armor changes from standard plate to ferro-fibrous, and the turret weapons work with an Artemis IV fire control system; a targeting computer sits in the hull. Cruising and top speeds hold at 43 and 65 km/h. Jalastar Aerospace builds this configuration at Panpour.
