Overview:
At the request from a client, the Long Range Support Platform Model No. 427 "Cole" is
designed for providing fire support in-field, as well as at incredible ranges. Utilizing a
unique turret design and an advanced targeting computer, the Cole is able to switch from a
indirect to direct fire support role in field to match the need at the time. Having such
potent firepower and flexibility in the field has left the long ranged platform with some
disadvantages however. Firstly, it is rather slow and is rather encumbered by its weight on
rough terrain. Second, is a rather high logistics demand, often keeping it tethered to a
Forward Operating Base. Lastly, the vehicle's armor is woefully low, due to much of its
tonnage being dedicated to its weapons and custom turret, but its fragility is slightly
mitigated though the use of a Guardian ECM Suite. Regardless of the shortcomings, it brings
a fearsome amount of firepower into the field for any battlegroup, and can easily keep
providing that support as long as it is able to avoid counter-battery fire or direct combat.
