Combat Vehicles - Local Mods: Schrek, Manticore, Condor




This page is dedicated to modified versions of combat vehicles that are not produced in the OA and found in very small numbers. 


Schrek PPC Carrier (ICE conversion)

Along the years, several Schreks were placed out of service, their Fusion Reactors and Weapons used as spare parts for other vehicles and most probably for the first series of Merlin Heavy Battlemechs.
Some of the Schreks were returned to service with the installation of an ICE that required the removal of the center PPC (which was replaced by a mock-up PPC to prevent the enemy to notice the modification).

Manticore Heavy Tank (ICE conversion)

Same as for the Schreks, several Manticore were placed out of service and their Fusion Reactors and Weapons used as spare parts for other vehicles and Battlemechs. The PPC was replaced by a Large Laser and a Medium Laser in the turret. The front mounted limited transverse turret with an medium laser was replaced by a Machine Gun.

Condor Heavy Hover Tank (AC20)

Small numbers of standard models were locally modified and armed with a single AC/20 with 3 tons of ammo plus one Machine Gun with 100 shots. It became more appreciated than the Saladin due to the better armor and the turret-mounted Autocannon.
