Kalran: Tales of the four nations/Redcoat

"Redcoat ready to snipe!"

-A Redcoat leaving the Mustering hall

The Redcoat is VEG sniper infantry. They are planned to be voiced by Tiffany Grant (default).

Tactical analysis

 * Hand cannon: Redcoats are the Volksgard snipers, armed with a gauss cannon that blurs the line between sniper rifles and light artillery,firing in a line that reduces infantry and light vehicles into a red mist and damage tanks between it, and strike from a distance farther then other snipers. While their powered armor makes them resistant to small arms


 * A snipers nest: Additionally, like many dwarven infantry, they gain a significant boost when garrisoned, gaining an additional increase to range and rate of fire


 * One shot: If needed these snipers can be ordered to charge up their next shot, allowing them to either cripple a tank or take out groups of infantry


 * The coat stands out: Redcoats are perhaps the most potent of the snipers, but are also the least subtle. They are the only sniper to have no cloaking at all, their rifles have the slowest rate of fire of the snipers, and they’re the only sniper with a limited firing arc, due to the bulk of their cannon, and slow turn speed means that flanks are death sentences

Trivia

 * Their weapon is a fusion of the German tankgewehr and purizushi from infinte stratos
 * The unit power armor is a fusion schwarzer regen railgun, the eisenhans suit from iron harvest, and the dorothy from Brigador.
