Ontos Concept Sketch
Added 2022-07-21 10:27:13 +0000 UTCHere's another one from Harri Kallio, the Ontos. Another vee that was previewed at KerenskyCon.
I guess it's cheap on the cbills but they really found a way to fit 50-65ton mech firepower into a 95ton assault tank haha. At least it looks very cool doing it.
How do you guys employ these? As a city fighter scatter shot version of a Demolisher?

I am reminded of an advertisement for one of the Borderlands games where a guy spent a few extra seconds espousing the awesomeness of “laser shotguns”

2022-11-07 13:33:48 +0000 UTCI always liked the Ontos! The first metal one I tried to build I dropped on set of lasers on the carpeted floor and never found it again!

2022-07-21 21:11:57 +0000 UTCI like the look of the hull, but the way the missile launcher looks hanging out to the side of the turret just looks a bit awkward to me for purposes of reloading it. Maybe if it was mounted vertically along the side of the turret instead.

2022-07-21 14:22:18 +0000 UTCHide in the City, or broken terrain, maybe launch your LRMs so the enemy might only think it's a Striker or some other Light LRM support, then ruin the day of anything they send to look for you!

2022-07-21 12:06:40 +0000 UTCWow! Love it! The Ontos is favorite of the early vehicles.

2022-07-21 11:47:29 +0000 UTCIt's pretty much an ambush predator. Otherwise it's light armor and slow speed will keep those mediums from ever getting into range.
