Drummond

The Drummond is a Loyalist Heavy Tank, currently not pilotable by the player.
== Acquisitions Entry ==
Nobody remembers or cares about this shit besides me, but the entire fleet of Drummonds are actually just obsolete Vilbels with a comically ugly but functional glacis plate bolted up front. The Vilbel was one of those completely misbegotten early colonial designs. You know, the good old days when everyone was just head over heels in love with living on a new planet, and by that I mean trying not to get killed by their new planet. More interested in basic survival than steadily recreating the worst that life in Earth's cities had to offer, that kind of thing.Anyway the Vilbel was this cheap, underpowered and undergunned IFV that was used for basic peacekeeping and occasionally even for expeditions beyond the wall; it was light enough that it didn't get mired down in mud anywhere nearly as often as other tracked vehicles heavier than a treadbike.Under the reign of Great Leader—may his memory not be forcibly expunged by law in the coming weeks—Vilbels got torched regularly during The Troubles. So much so the whole fleet got mothballed, but only for a time. Riots and Corvid strikes got bad enough they just needed more vehicles on the line, and with just enough armor on the front only to keep them from exploding as quickly as they did before without needing an improved powerplant. Give it a new designation to throw off all the tankers that would rather go AWOL than crew a Vilbel, and you get the Drummond.-MB
== Notes & Strategy ==
* The Drummond is not very well armed, having only a fixed forward facing auxiliary mount and a roof turret mount (a Belter machine gun and a Disco laser in the Loyalist version's case). However, its oversized glacis plate does give it a decent amount of frontal armor. Drummonds often appear as command vehicles on low to medium difficulty stages, acting as both captain vehicles and Spotter vehicles. Therefore it's advised to eliminate them as quickly as possible once the engagement starts, least they call upon additional reinforcements. THis can be easier said than done due to the hefty amount of hull armor the Drummond sports. Therefore if your vehicle only comes equipped with smaller weapons, it's advised to resort to ambushes or EMP.
