Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Shepherd

"Shepherd leading the charge!"

-A Shepherd leaving the Assembly station

The Shepherd is the MBT of the VEG. Planned to be voiced by Fred Tatasciore (default).

Tactical analysis

 * Steel hound: Well armored and armed. The Shepherds dual gauss cannons, hull mounted HMG, and dual co-axial autocannons lets them lay waste to enemy vehicles, infantry, and aircraft. It is safe to say that all of the MBT in Kalran, the Shepherd is the best


 * Nothing will get past us: If the tank is needed to defend and area the crew can quickly dig up a pit for their tanks to hunker down. Turning them into harden bunkers and increasing its rate of fire, by shifting all the power from the engines to power up its weaponry


 * Shrapnel storm: Shepherd's are also issued with a supply of canister shells, which acts like oversized shotgun shells, raining steel pellets on the enemy, and are most effective against large groups of infantry or garrisons


 * Power at a price: Note that the Shepherd, for their power and versatility, is also the most expensive MBT and slow to boot, meaning it can be easily swarmed

History
"No, I'm not defending dwarven technical superiority, I'm stating the fucking obvious!"

-Kazami Giovanni, captain of the 8th cavalry company, reporting on their skirmish against the Dwarves then new shepherd, which resulted in the decimation of her company and the tanks suffering little damage

Trivia

 * The Shepherd is based of the combinations of the heavy tank from red alert, the German tiger 2 and leopard, and the Israeli Merkava.
