Description: The Jurkad-class Assault Tank is Mandal Hypernautics premiere infantry support vehicle.
Hovering several feet off of the ground to traverse adverse terrain, the Jurkad is armed with a powerful mass driver cannon that can punch holes through various armored targets, or alternatively spray infantry positions or bombard as artillery (high penetration rounds, anti-personnel rounds, and high explosive rounds respectively). Also equipped with two anti-aircraft homing missile launchers, the Jurkad can alternatively defend itself and the troops around it from fighters and bombers. A rotary blaster cannon lies in wait inside of its hull, and can mow down hostiles who get too close and bombard fast moving vehicles.
Unusually maneuverable for a tank, this comes from its powerful repulsorlift engines. Although requiring constant care and low-performance in adverse environmental conditions, they allow the Jurkad to move fast and dodge incoming enemy fire with surprising efficiency.
The Jurkad is also heavily armored with an advanced composite armored shell and moderately powered shields, allowing it to absorb a few hits before going down.
