Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Ewell "lightning"

"Lightning fast support here!"

The Ewell "Lightning" is the Light artillery tankette of Joshua Jones, the UCAAF's combined arms commander. Planned to be voiced by Kira Buckland.

Tactical Analysis

 * Rapid support: Providing fire support for other Able battalion vehicles is the role of the Ewell "lightning", a light artillery piece armed with a rapid fire 75mm gun that can quickly wreck other artillery pieces and light vehicles too stupid to get out of the way, and fire on the move to boot. It is an excellent skirmishing vehicle, able to fire off a few shots and quickly move out of the way while reloading


 * Stop right there: The lightning can also use specialized tremor shells to create localized earthquakes, stunning vehicles and infantry under it and allowing friendly units to attack or escape


 * Scratching the paintjob: The lightnings utility is considerably lessened when facing heavily armored vehicles, which can easily shrug off the vehicles bombardment, as well as faster vehicles, which can dodge their fire. And they are also vulnerable to aircraft, which can chase it down and destroy it without too much difficulty


 * Dodge this: New magnetic shells, filled with a special formula that can penetrate tank armor, can alter their trajectory midflight, allowing them to chase down moving targets and better damage tanks, eliminating two of the Hailstorms weaknesses, though the expense of such shells means they are issued sparingly
