Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Huntsmen

"Ready for the hunt."

Tactical analysis

 * Archaic, but deadly: The huntsmen act as snipers for the UCA, despite their primitive looking weapon. They are excellent shots with their longbow, their arrows capable of taking down infantry with a few well placed shots, and are also effective against light vehicles, though tanks are more tricky, with the benefit that, unlike other snipers, it makes little noise and leaves no trace. And, unlike other snipers, can also fight in melee with their sword
 * The thunderclap before the lighting: These snipers, however, can also lay down slow falling flares to weaken enemies beneath it for their forces to strike
 * Yet another sniper: Unfortunately, Huntsmen share the weaknesses of other snipers, being hard pressed to deal with large groups of infantry. They are also at a disadvantage against other snipers, being shorter ranged
 * Straight and true: Veteran Huntsmen are known to find even the smallest weakpoints in armor, allowing them to even kill an ADF infantry in one shot and briefly cripple a tank, and aim and fire their shots in a single, fluid, motion, allow them to fire further and faster

History
In the distant past, far before the discovery of gunpowder, the Fenrirs, as the Fomorian empire, were renown masters of the longbow, with tales of their archery legion blotting out the suns in a rain of arrows that pierced even the toughest armor of their time. With the empires longbowmen being the elites of the military, cheered by their people and feared by their foes. Even when the discovery of gunpowder came the longbow legion stood firm as the deadliest of the empires arsenal, only declining at the start of great war that destroyed the empire. And even with the UCA birth the longbowmen are still known.

The UCA Hunters, remade from the old longbow legion, are still known for their deadly skills with the longbows, being the eyes and ears of the army. To make them viable for the new age they wield a prototype illusion generator, reverse engineered from the Navaheim, and utilize a specialized bracer and optics to fire arrows capable of piercing even the thickest armor.

Many naïve commanders are known to underestimate the company, feeling that wielding such primitive weapons meant their weak or for propaganda, but those who survived tend to tell the tale of even their strongest soldiers instantly even though they heard no attack, with only an arrow through the unfortunate soldier eye indicating the attack, a flare slowly falling down before a barrage of shells and armor struck, or running back to base only to fight the guards there sliced to ribbons. Each of them having the commander only escaping.
