Recognition notes
The Whirlwind Scout Hover Tank (IFV) is a 45-ton hover combat vehicle built as a scout. Where the base model's turret carries a pair of Autocannon/2 weapons and a pair of Medium Lasers, this variant's turret mounts two ER Medium Lasers instead, dropping to half the guns of the original. Cruising speed rises from 86 to 97 km/h and top speed climbs from 130 to 151 km/h. The hull adds CASE and a Beagle active probe, and the crew compartment carries a 4-ton infantry compartment. Jolassa-Kumbold Armored Weapons builds it at Bristol.
