Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Retriever

Tactical analysis

 * Battle taxi: Modified from their Shepherd tanks, the Retriever allow infantry to keep pace with armored vehicles while shielded from attack by its hardened shell. Though slower and unable to traverse water compared to their counterparts, the machine is comparably more robust and fully proof against infantry weapons, being a modified MBT


 * Covering fire: Additionally, each Retriever is armed with a HMG that can chew through and suppress both infantry and helicopters


 * Mobile triage: The remaining storage space, that are too small for infantry, in the Retrievers hull is filled with first-aid kits and other medical supplies, allowing the vehicle to heal and reinforce surrounding units but must be immobile to do so


 * We may need a bigger gun: Having sacrificed its cannons, and associated ammunitions, for transport space, the Retriever has little means of defending itself from enemy armor, though its gun can target aircraft. And being a modified MBT, also has little transport capacity compared to its counterparts, but with the small size of their forces it isn't much of a problem

Trivia

 * The Retriever is based off the Israeli Namer.
