Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Umber "Jon"

"APC on the field!"

-An Umber "Jon" leaving the Motor Pool

Tactical analysis

 * Bulwark of the infantrt: The Umber, variant B "Jon", is a superb if old-fashioned armored personnel carrier, with room for six squads and the rather gruesome ability to crush enemy infantry


 * Ole Reliable: The Bronson heavy machine gun has been the Retriever's armament since it first rolled off the Fomorian empire assembly lines, and allows it to take down hostile infantry and light aircrafts while its dismounting infantry find good positions to dig in and repel enemy advances. While extra storage space in it's hull is filled with first-aid kits and other medical supplies, healing infantry near the half-track when it's stationary.


 * Beware of Tanks: Given the design of the Jon, it has little means of defending itself from enemy armor or heavy infantry, though its gun can target aircraft. It depends entirely on its transported infantry to cover the gaps in its ability to fight back against such threats.


 * Sharpened Teeth: A recent update to the type had included firing ports, allowing the infantry inside to fire, and replacing their HMG with an automatic grenade launcher with frag rounds and anti-air flechette rounds, which is even more effective at keeping the enemy's head down and tearing through light vehicles. And weakening the enemies heavier armor and knocks any heavy infantry off their feet
