Close-quarters Chicane duels in Feldspar don't happen often. When they do, victory comes down to pure skill and a little luck... as well as a little reliance on the armoured airframe.

Thanks to the user serubyne for sending in this screenshot of the all-new VT-7 Vagrant in action. The VT-7 is a adaptable airframe, just as much at home ground pounding as securing the skies from enemy fighters.

HLT Mobile Artillery - “MART”

Equipped with a 155mm main cannon and guided munitions, the HLT Mobile Artillery is designed to deliver continuous fire support to frontline BDF troops. Capable of maintaining a sustained rate of fire of 5 rounds per minute over long periods, thanks to its autoloader, it offers significantly more stamina compared to MLRS platforms.

The MART will fire at distant datalink contacts, and with increased accuracy if those contacts are currently being observed. Its accuracy can be made pinpoint when a friendly aircraft is actively lasing the target, allowing direct hits on the smallest targets even at maximum range.

To reduce the threat of enemy counter battery fire, the MART utilizes a "shoot-and-scoot" protocol, automatically relocating to different firing positions after sending a volley down range. One significant advantage the system has over MLRS is the difficulty in spotting it from the tell-tale rocket trails. Once its magazines are depleted, the vehicle will automatically seek out nearby ammo depots or supplies, allowing the MART to remain an active threat throughout extended engagements.
