How about a Yellow truck packed with 5,000 lbs. of of ammonium nitrate, an agricultural fertilizer?

I found this little gem while looking through a webpage listing Syrian weapons and equipment. The Syrians have about 100 of these Russian built gems. I figure this could be a very nice superweapon for the GLA and/or Militia sides. This little beauty could require a one star, or even a three star, generals promotion to build.

BMP-3 Fighting Vehicle:

"The BMP-3 [BMP = Boyevaya Mashina Pyekhota - Infantry Fighting Vehicle], which represents a totally different design concept from BMP-1/2, is a light tank that can hold a squad of infantry. It has a 100mm main gun that fires HE to demolish buildings, can fire long-range ATGMs through its barrel, and a 30mm autocannon and a medium machine gun as a single unit in the turret."

Troop Capacity - 7 passengers.
Smoke Equipment - 6 smoke grenade launchers, VEESS.
Mineclearing Equipment - KMT-8 plow available.
Fording Depth (m) - Amphibious

BMP-3 TRACKED INFANTRY COMBAT VEHICLE, RUSSIA.

"The BMP-3 infantry combat vehicle entered production in the late 1980s. It is in service with the Russia Army and over 600 have been exported to a number of countries, including United Arab Emirates (390 vehicles), Cyprus, Kuwait (110) and South Korea. Kurganmashzavod of Kurgan, Russian Federation manufactures the chassis and the Instrument Design Bureau (KBP) of Tula is responsible for the turret. It is a tracked, armoured, amphibious vehicle designed to engage armoured ground and air targets while stationary, on the move and afloat. South Korea agreed to purchase a further 30 BMP-3 vehicles in August 2002."

"The BMP-3 vehicle weighs 18.7t and is capable of a maximum speed of 70km/h and range of 600km on roads."

SELF-PROTECTION.

The BMP-3 can be fitted with the Arena Defensive Aids suite, developed by KBM Kolumna. The system consists of target detection and tracking radar, computer and processing unit and protective ammunition. The system is automatic: the radar passes tracking data to the computer, which selects the number of ammunition rounds and controls firing. The selected ammunition is then expelled as a directed field. The vehicle can also be fitted with the Shtora defensive aids system which counters anti-tank guided weapons with SACLOS (semi-automatic command-to-line-of-sight)."

UPGRADED BMP-3M VEHICLE

"KBP and Kurganmashzavod have upgraded the vehicle with a new turret and engines. The upgraded vehicle is called the BMP-3M and the new turret includes a new automatic fire control system with digital computer, new BZS1 gunner's sight with SAGEM thermal imager and laser illuminator, TKN-AI commander's periscope with laser infrared illuminator and new ammunition loading system. The BMP-3M will also be able to fire ammunition types including new 100mm laser-guided projectiles, new 100mm HE-FRAG (high explosive fragmentation) rounds and new 30mm APSDS (armour piercing discarding sabot) rounds. Additional passive armour protection is effective against 12.7mm armour-piercing rounds from a range of 50m. Explosive reactive armour is available as an option. The new uprated engine is the UTD-32, which is rated at 660hp."

The Militia could have a small mid-range missile launch platform. The USA gave them some old ones with decent range, and they stuck it on a trailer. It could reload in about one minute. It is a little more powerful than a Nuke cannon (it is NOT nuclear) and can hit anywhere on the map. It is very cheap and can be produced relatively quickly at around 2,000.

[Vanguard]

That's probably the best idea I've heard so far link.

[Bob]

So far they have 2 super weapons.

1. Fundamentalist Ambush - Exactly Like the Rebel Ambush, just with Fundamentalists.

2. Defector - Converts any given unit to your side.

The Militia's side is still under construction. Any ideas would be welcome, I'm sure.

'The USA gave them some old ones with decent range, and they stuck it on a trailer.'

Good one. Perhaps the trailer could be towed by a M-939A2 or similar type of truck.

[Vanguard]

Well no guys, it wont be on a trailer, I am planning on it having 4 missiles per building, doing the same as the Nuke Cannon each, but, that's not all, I will try and make them a multiple warhead missile, splits in two, those will do the damage, if not then I will just have them the regular way. Yo do we have someone here that is good at drawing, I could use some Concept art for this megalith, or on an seperate ummmm, whatever you want to call it, if you've place Ace Combat 4 then you know about the Nuclear Anti-Aircraft Cannons called Stonehenge. What about cannons like that, but none nuclear, that can shoot across the map?

[link.the.first]

I'm okay with a pencil and paper if I can get my scanner working. Do you want something with a huge artillery cannon or a cheap-looking silo for four small missiles?

Also, you could have a weaker one on a truck to make the Militia feel different from the other sides. They seem to want to set up mobile camps so they can pack up and move without leaving much behind due to not having much in the first place.

Both would be nice.

My scanner's not working, so it might be a while.

Ok

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I love Ace Combat 4. Yes, Stonehenge is a great superweapon, but isn't that like way too sophisticated for a militia side?

How about this one instead. I can't find any pictures of this right now, but I did see it on CNN just before the second gulf war. It's a Saddam superweapon. It's an artillery piece that is actually built into the side of a hill. According to some statistics that I did find in an article, the cannon had a 1,000 mm diameter barrel, was 260 meters (248 yards) long, and a had a maximum range of 2,000 miles. If my memory serves me correctly the barrel was in several sections going up the hill. It was quite a site to see. Don't ask me how they aimed the darn thing, they didn't say.

Off topic. Vanguard, wasn't Megalith awesome? It gave me the willys every time I had to fly through that darn thing. I get chills just thinking about it.

[Vanguard]

I love that mission.
