Recognition notes
The Patton Tank -SB is a 65-ton tracked combat vehicle fielded as a sniper, cruising at 43 km/h with a top speed near 65. Its turret trades the base Patton's Autocannon/10 for a Silver Bullet Gauss Rifle, keeps the LRM 5, and swaps the front-mounted Small Laser and rear Flamer for a pair of ER Medium Lasers, also housed in the turret. The XL engine replaces the base model's Fusion plant, and Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor stands in place of the original Standard plate. The hull adds environmental sealing and a supercharger, and the vehicle keeps its low, hard-to-target silhouette. Defiance Industries builds the type at Hesperus II.
