Recognition notes
The Von Luckner Heavy Tank VNL-K65W carries over the 75-ton tracked juggernaut hull of the VNL-K65N but swaps the fusion engine for a Light engine and rebuilds the armor in Ferro-Fibrous plate. Where the K65N mounts a single Flamer on the front, this variant carries a Small Pulse Laser there alongside two MML 5 launchers, and the rear LRM 10 is gone entirely. The turret trades the Autocannon/20 for an Ultra AC/20, replaces the paired SRM 6 launchers with paired Streak SRM 4 launchers, drops the separate SRM 4, and exchanges the Machine Gun for a Light Machine Gun. An Artemis IV FCS sits with the front weapons, and CASE is fitted in the hull. Cruising speed holds at 32 km/h with a top speed of 54, and the type is cataloged as a maintenance-intensive design. Word of Blake builds it at Bryant.
