Widow Rocket Artillery Combat Vehicle

The is a modified Scorpion variant as part of the Unified Command Mountings, which can be fitted to the G5 Scorpion, Easy Eight Scorpion, and M820 Scorpion. A replacement of the older Tarantula RACV, the Widow fires an improved missile for use against static targets. 
The modified turret of the Widow carries a central hydraulic mount, and on each side of it carries a container with 30 rocket cells in each. Each container is armour protected, and with hydraulic from and rear cover, to protect the delicate rockets within. The rockets are effective up to 3000 metres, and can be rapidly fired, with one tank emptying its entire payload in twenty seconds. While the payload can vary, most rockets usually carry a lethal high explosive payload intended to be used against structures, fortifications, personnel, and materiel. 
While somewhat crude, the ability to roll a direct fire rocket artillery piece to its target, while under fire, and then carpet bomb it to ash is a very valuable one. When combined with special ammunition, such as cluster bombs or thermobaric munitions, they can cause devastation to enemy positions.
